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...

i've been away fromwork for a week because of depression and anxiety. dr says i have double depression. I'm scared to go back because of the principal who likes to yell at me and is writing me up so she can fire me. (I'm a teacher.) I feel badly about not being there for my kids. I'm scared to asnswer people's where have you been questions. i'm scared that i've missed something important while i was out. i'm scared because i realize how very depressed i've been for a very long time, and not really even recognizing it. i'd say i want to be a bettter person, but i thought i was ok. now i think maybe i have to see how ill i am before i can be ok. but then i'm asking for acceptance, aren't i? and i don't even live in a place like home. i miss the mountains and the trees and the outdoors. i'm not a short girl, i'm a mountain girl. i wonder if ii hvae to chagne careers but know that i can't even think straight. i just need someone tohelp me, please! I just need to knokw that i really will get through this, even though it doesn't feel like i will. i feel i've let everyone down. i'm scared, and i dont' even know why. well, i know, but -- i dont' know. i guess that's anxciety, right?

Your not alone. Take one day at a time and deal with one thing at a time. You don't need to explain why you been gone. If your not happy in your current job perhaps a change would do you good. Don't let anyone treat or speak to you with out respect. i ahve gerat respect for teachers because they have a hard enough time teaching kids without the added stress of a principal yelling. I will be praying for you. I always take my concerns to god who I know without him I could not do anything. He has given me so much peace and helped me deal with my fears,worries and anxiety I know he will help you just ask him and pray for hsi help and he will hear you. I pray your life will get better and that god will guide you on how to do that.......God Bless:)

You haven't let anyone down. You are a good person, or you wouldn't care. Take one day at a time. Try to. Don't think about next week just yet. No matter what happens, you will handle it. Can you tell the principal what you are going through. It makes things difficult going to work with no support. However, you have yourself. You are a strong person. No matter what happens, you willhandle it..when it comes to handle it (meaning, when you go back to school). Easier said than done, I know. I have a lot of anticipatory anxiety myself. But we need to pat ourselves on the back. This is hard stuff. It will get better.

You haven,t let anyone down love
and if you feel like you ned to give an explanation just tell them you had an out of town emergency and then just change the subject.
Dont worry yourself over the boss, strip him/her of there layers untill they are an ordinary person with the same worries as anyone elses, he/she is human underneath that tittle, try and look at your boss as exactly that, ordinary human.
You will get through this bit by bit,just take things one step at a time.
If you are now on meds in4/6 weks you will feel the benafit and begin to feel better.

I feel like I just can't get thru the day every single day but I do. Yes everything will be ok one way or another. You feel like it is a bigger thing because of the anxiety and the depression. Has your dr given you anything for this? If not I would talk to them about 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...
