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.

Anxiety is out of control, can't find peace of min

I have been under alot of stress this last month or so and I have OCD and anxiety which doesn't help. I had been searching online at the start and I became so obsessed I was sure I had those things. I have now convinced myself I am pregnant even though I had my period 2 weeks ago. I have had very slight heartburn over Easter because I overate and to much chocolate and fast foods which I normally wouldn't eat. I searched online after my period finished and I worried myself so much that it wasn't my period but implantation bleeding and worried heartburn was pregnancy. I had tingling breasts the week before my period came but went away a few days before it came. On Sunday I was online again and cane across a woman who said she had severe sore breasts and went to the doctor and found out she was pregnant, while I was reading it I felt a slight pain and now they feel slightly sore on and off since Sunday.. Is this stress? Because why did the pain come back after I read that? I am obsessed with checking all the time and the least little thing makes me think I am pregnant I focus on every sensation and freak out. My sister says I might be hypochondriac...does anyone else have these feelings?

Sounds close to how I might have described what my therapists called a manic episode. The only thing certain about my own manic episodes is that I am sure to find more problems than I can tackle at once. The mania seems to heighten my physical senses to just about everything, including power of suggestion. Calming the mania is necessary before I can intelligently tackle ANY of those problems. Most of my 165 IQ seems to be inaccessible when I am manic. Stress often triggers my manic episodes.

But that is me. . .

Gentle support while you figure out what it is for you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
