Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Just relax you wont know what it is untill the test results come back. I don't know how you could calm yourself down, but from an outside perspective the situation isn't too much for you and I think you can cope with it. You have it inside you you just have to figure how to let it out.

It sounds to me like your glands are just swollen. Have you had a cold or anything lately? Don't add 2nd fear. This is what is causing you anxiety. You are scaring yourself. Just calm down and find something to busy yourself so you can think of something else. Are your cheekbones sore? Do you suffer from sinus problems? Sinus infections will cause your glands to swell and your cheeks to be painful. Also around your eyes. You'll be fine. Just calm down and don't dwell on it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
