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

High anxiety

If my  anxiety wasn't bad enough, So, Yesterday, I get a text from the dr's office  saying i'M Past due for a cancer screening,  I thought nothing of it,  not gonna worry about that......well, a little.


Meanwhile, This guy came to the door today, looking for my dad......I said he was out of town,  Shouldn't have done that,  that's a open invitation for someone just to come in and hurt me,  I am disabled, And really can't protect myself.  What I should have said is: he can't come to the door right now......But, now i'm panicing.....What of comes back and forces his way in, I know to call the police, But what if there were no time.



Whar if my parent's find out and start letsuring me,  I know I did wrong. it's like I'm not allowed to learn from my mistakes,  cause it seems like,  when they were growing they wern't allowed,  It seem's like the generation-x and future generations are paying for what Babyboomer's  were  brought up with. I'm 47 and feel like my parent's rule my life.

Hey guitarman,
Try to be gentle with yourself as possible. It’s okay to make mistakes it’s how we learn I feel. If it makes you feel better try to keep your phone on or by you if you can & if the guy comes back or knocks on the door just don’t answer (but hopefully & probably be most likely won’t come back anyways)

Sending support & a hug <3

i'll second the notion that it's okay to make mistakes. it is much easier to clean up the consequences if you stay calm while you are cleaning.

i don't know which fatal flaw you are blaming on which of the generic generations, but i find it helps to keep things personal. families --and their various dysfunctions-- vary considerably, whatever the generic generational flag they are saluting for this round of the blame game.

I’ve made a similar mistake where I mentioned to some guys delivering a piece of furniture that I was going to be out of town. I immediately thought, ugh so stupid to tell strangers who are now in my house and able to see my stuff that I won’t be home over the next few days. .I just tried to accept that odds were in my favor these guys were probably not going to break into my house while I was gone to steal my stuff. My neighbor and I thought had always told each other when we were going to be away just for awareness in case either of us noticed anything suspect at school others’ homes. Having good neighbors made me feel better.

My point is that we need to be mindful whatever generation we are from but not so much that we live in fear and paranoia.

We do the best we can, learn as we go, and move on.

    Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama.  I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago.  She basically had been monopolizing conversations for that long too.  She pretty much stopped asking me questions about me.  I passed her in front of her classroom the other day and didn't even look at her.  I am...
