Great life but anxious and miserable

[somethingstupid1]

I've read other posts and can see why many people are anxious. Job loss, poor living conditions, physical health etc. I have what most would think is a great life.
Great job, lovely DH, a 1yo happy DD, family all in good health, nice house etc.

But I feel anxious and miserable all the tine. Small things can make me spiral. I lose so much sleep. It's so tiresome for my DH as I'm sad, anxious, miserable most of the time.
He wants me to see a therapist. Has anyone had experience of this? I feel it might be harder doing that virtually.

I really feel for you. I've been in your position. And yes, therapy should work. I work with a few therapists and all of them say that online counselling is working. Another one prefers it!

Give it a go - you owe it to yourself.

Have you been to your GP? Meds can help also to get you out of the spiraling thing if it is difficult to control. You don't have to be on them forever. But therapy yes if you can afford I find cbt techniques help which I have basically taught myself from books. If it gets worse again I will get some cbt/mindfulness based theraoy I think. I can't see it would be hugely different online.

It’s because you’re sad and miserable despite having a lovely life that suggests you’re ill.

It could be something as simple as Vitamin D3 deficiency, or something as complicated as suppressed complex PTSD. Your first port of call should be your GP.

I know what you mean. My kids are older 14,12 and 9 and I have a lovely husband but I have times where no matter how good my life is, I feel anxious, stressed and lacking joy.
I take vitamins, eat reasonably well and will start to exercise more in the new year, do a bit of walking a few times a week but need to ramp it up. I get cyclical anxiety and breast pain all to do with my periods which are starting to change and get heavy bleeding.
I don’t have the solution sorry but you’re not alone.
I see other people who always seem happy and cope well with stuff and I wonder how they do it.
