Anxiety anxiety I wanna make you go away

Anxiety anxiety I wanna make you go away
I would like to rip out the pain that keeps life at bay

What must I do?
The heavy weight I carry makes me wish my thoughts were see through
My head in places it shoudnt go to
Stuck there on repeat, the usual cycle still to go through
Again again it never changes, there is only one dark place I could go to,

I am back there again but not actually going to go through

Anxiety anxiety I wanna make you go away
But even if I do you will come again another day

What do you do at your lowest moment?

What do you do at your lowest moment?

I always plan to tell someone, but I never do. It's so hard to look at someone face to face and tell them how you feel or that you have urges to hurt yourself, kill yourself or that you just cannot cope anymore.
I have had plans, notes to myself, people I'd turn to and then not done it. I wanna know what others do?
There is a lot of support out there but I personally haven't felt confident enough to phone the Samaritans or speak to anyone at those times. I tend to close off, browse my phone sat on the sofa and look at social media and see everyone's happy photos and let that increase my feelings of depression and worthlessness. So what if I could use my phone to support myself in a helpful way....

Would an online friend or a safe place where you could get support be a valuable source to people with mental health illness?

Sometimes a friend is good enough to help bring you up enough to get through that moment. Or knowing others have been through the same and that you can to. Or perhaps an inspiring quote or story would help.

I would like to be a friend to everyone and be there 24 hours a day for the whole world but obviously this is unrealistic. So could I create a friend based support source that people can tap into when they need it and get that feeling you get when you talk to a friend but at that time you cannot access your friend or feel you cannot verbally or physically face anyone. An online friend or an App designed to be there for you. JThere4U.

Is it just me?


I have felt anxious, lonely and depressed for many years. Never having yet fully recovered or gained the support I need. I have been through many counsellors, medications and GP's. Highs and lows, new starts, rock bottoms. It's easy to feel nothing has worked and it’s all hopeless I am the way I am and life will just always be harder for me than others. But I have learnt something that after nearly 20 years has only just become clear to me.

 I need support that is constant, secure and personalised just for me.

 I can change my life, I can overcome all my anxieties. I just haven't had the consistent, ongoing support I need to do so yet.


I have always been time limited, been discharged without even beginning to dig to depths of what I need to go into to have any chance of recovery. There is always a long wait for any support so by the time I get it I am far lower than I was. I have become frustrated and not just for myself. I am certain I am far from alone in this.

 Has anyone else felt so low and worthless and as though it wouldn't matter whether you exist or not anymore? What have you needed in that moment? I needed a friend who could just magically be there and know without me telling them where I was mentally. I needed something to make me feel more positive and supported. I needed security. I needed reassurance and rebuilding.

 What happens when you don’t get this? You go around and around in cycles like I have until your whole life is affected in some way. A social anxiety can spread to other areas of your life, unnoticed and avoided but then suddenly eating is a problem, or certain sounds cause anxiety and then you avoid certain places and activities. You limit your world and have no idea how to get yourself out of it all.

 I want to share my experiences and ideas in the hope of helping others. I would like to one day realise the dream of everybody being able to access support they need when they need it. To stop the cycles of anxiety and depression I have experienced. To stop anyone else from 20 years of suffering before they even realise anxiety is not a personality trait or a lifelong companion it’s just a thought or feeling that can be overcome and kept away. Life can be enjoyed, I promise it can. I am not there yet but I am realising I have had the wrong perception of it all in my head. No matter how deep I am within it I can change it. I am certain I am not alone and if by baring my soul like this I help one other person feel better then this will have been worth it.
