I'm losing the battle against anxiety

I'm losing the battle against anxiety

I'm a 25-year-old man who feels like anxiety is destroying me. Five days ago, I had the worst day of my life because of it. I had an eight-hour panic attack, trembling, desperate, sweating profusely, and feeling utterly lost. I thought I was going to lose control and end up in a mental hospital. When I went to the emergency room, they prescribed levomepromazine drops, which helped, but I'm afraid of losing control again. Right now, I'm having mini panic attacks, and I feel like I'm going to snap again. I haven't had an appointment with a psychiatrist, and I've never been prescribed medication. I'm afraid of being put on medication.

Hello, I'm a man, I'm 25 years old and I've become interested in Wicca.

Just a few days ago, I became interested in Wicca, but I don't have much information. Can I, as a man, also start practicing Wicca? How have you felt entering this world? What should I know? What do you recommend? I'm from Medellín, Colombia, and I don't have much information about it. What experiences have you had with Wicca? What books do you recommend?


I knew I was gay since childhood, but when I went on my mission, I began to experience severe depression and guilt because I was preaching something I didn't practice myself. I felt spiritually empty. Throughout my entire mission, I kept it a secret from my companions. I felt excluded from the plan of salvation because, as far as I knew, I couldn't be part of it if I was gay. I knew the church was wrong because how could I be the one who was wrong and leading the way if I'd known I was gay for as long as I could remember? Isn't God supposed to make us all in his image and likeness? If he makes us in his image and likeness, why am I the one sinning? I knew the church wasn't genuine because they excluded gay people and the love they preached was just a facade.


Thank you! At this point in my life, I feel very happy to show and be who I am.


Hahahaha looolll


I'm so glad you came out, even though it was at 25. I came out at 20 (exactly 5 years ago). However, during my childhood and adolescence, I felt I was bisexual, but after I turned 17, I became more attracted to men and never to women again, so I knew I was no longer bisexual but gay.


Thank you for those kind words! From the way you speak, I can tell you're an excellent mother. Your children must be so proud of you. I do currently have a partner; we've been together for four years, and we support each other.
