ok i am 36 and married mother of 2 22 mos and 6 yr old my 6 yr old is autistic so as you can see im under some stress daily and i know i drive my husband crazy everytime i get into the car i fear blind spots or the fact he a busy body looking for things while driving multi taksing so he doesnt help. he is a good enough driver just sometimes is in a hurry not paying attention . we have bad luck of finding road construction have to make odd turns in places unkown to us. well lately i was on the nuva ring which enhaced my anxziety too much hormones and i even went through some panic attacks feeling my heart palptate . i think my fear is based on age, wanting to live for my autistic daughter, too much tv bad news. it drives me crazy when my husband says take an asprin, calm down. no you dont need to go to the doctor wait a few days. my husband feels i dont drink/smoke so ill live longer than him. i guess i just wanted to vent a little. overall i am considering an over the counter aid to help me when i tense up. its not right for me to avoid certain things or not enjoy life due to my condition. ps im off the nuva ring birth control so i feel better.

I am a single mother with three girls when I started having attacks it would freak me out because I didn't know what was happening to me. I still get uneasy when I get in the car but I have allowed my sprituality to kick in. We honestly dont have control over what happens to us. I refocus my attention to God and have found scriptures in relation to fear and anxiety to see me through I meditate on them. One of my favorites is God hasn't given me a spirit of fear but one of power love and self control 1Tim verse 7. The reason why the word is so powerful is because once you begin believeing it and actually receive it in your spirit it assist in changeing your thought process to one of peace.

First of all, I'm glad to hear your off the nuva ring, I don't trust that kind of stuff (actually anything the government feeds us). Plus, be careful with the over-the-counter stuff too. I'm believe in other practices besides chemically induced stuff if possible. Don't forget how important regular stretching and exercise is. I find it to be the most helpful with the tension. Also other things such as meditation, relaxing music, dancing, whatever helps you with your anxiety. It must be hard having an autistic child, which is why your health is even more important. Eat right and get lots of rest!
