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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Feeling scared, tired and annoyed

I am so sick and tired of living this way. I live in constant fear. I have literally cried every day when I am alone because I just can't deal with this STUPID aniety and hypochondria.
I'm a good person, good mom and wife...but I want to live my life happily!

I dont want to be scared to do certain things. I dont want to feel EVERY little ache and pain my body has. Because every little ache and pain I start freaking out!!!

As of today....I will try my best to get over this stupid shit.

I want to start to work out, enjoy my daughter more, my husband as well. Enjoy the smaller things in life.

I say this now because I went with my husband to visit a family member who has cancer. We went to MD Anderson and while I was sitting there waiting, this young man started talking to me and telling me that he was waiting for his results to see if his cancer has gone away or if it has spread.

He misses walking, talking to friends, going outside....and the little things that my dumb ass takes for granted all because of this stupid anxiety.

But how do I start? How do I start to forget this pain my stomache? How do I start to ignore this little twitch in my finger?

Don't ignore it.....accept it! I know that sounds weird. What I do is FORCE myself to do something....even though I'm scared. I do as much as I can and as good as I can. Before I know it, I'm having a good time and usually forget the symptom or it doesn't seem so bad....like it's on the back burner. I know it's there, but sometimes or most of the times, what I am doing distracts my thoughts from being totally engulfed in the anxiety.
Do some deep breathing before and during your adventures.
I hope this helps and use Nike's slogan....."Just Do it"

Thanks MsBlank1. I need to really do something. This isnt healthy for me or my family. They are victims too...they have to deal with watching me get so worked up and they try so hard to help me

I feel just like you on most days. I guess I might a have a few good days here and there, but I'm on Xanax times two a day, and it's kind of hard to function in a normal way. I do see a councilor and don't really feel any better. I wish I could give you some sage advice. I just want to let you know that you are not alone and I feel you pain. If you need anyone to talk with I'm here. Take care and i hope you feel better!!

Oh sweetie, I totally understand what you are going through. I struggle each and everyday. I deal with the guilt that I am not being a good mom and yearn to be a better mommy. I am tired of being irritable and short with my children. I am tired of not having the energy to do things with them like I want to.
I agree with MsBlank1, it is better to keep yourself busy, although easier said than done sometimes. My main solution is talking myself out of whatever it is I am dealing with.
Like tonight, I have this CRAZY vibrating in my right foot...it is driving me mad and all I can think about is "I HAVE MS!!", but I have to keep telling myself it is just anxiety and if it happens to be MS then I can still live with it.
I know it is frustrating, but you can do it!!

Thank you all. I feel like if it's not one thing it's another. I am paranoid for my health.. I am worse with my kid.

I just dont want her to think that life is scary just because mommy makes it scary you know what I mean?
When I have my so called good days...I enjoy very second of it. I love life even when I am not having a good time. But I just want to get the negative thought and fears out of my head.

I have taken the first step in seeing a counselor. Which I pray will work for me! And I hope each and every single one of you find peace and happiness...because Anxiety is a bitch
