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...
When I have pms I seem to be 100 x worse then usual. I just replyed to a post that asked what kinds of things make you anxious. I posted that it used to be my kids when they were young, when ever they were out of my site I felt something tragic would happen to them.
My girls are grown and gone out on their own now so I have my son left who is 20 with A.D.D. and developmental delays. I mentioned that when he goes out to ride his bike, or jog, or just walk around that I feel some kind of tragic accident will happen. I also know that you can't waste your life worrying about it. Sure, Murphy's law states that " if it can happen it will happen" but anxiety gives me and others, alot of irrational thoughts and they'll drive us mad if we don't talkourselves down a bit.
Knowing all of this still I'm suffering from some really severe pms today. My son went out and as per usual I start to stress and try to take my mind off of it. Most of the time I can get rid of this dreaded feeling but today, not so much. Just as my son left an ambulance went tearing down the street, and well, I don't have to tell you that shot my anxiety up about 200 x what it should be. So here I sit talking to myself and feeling the tightness in my stomach and my neck and hoping he'll be back here soon so I can breathe. Isn't this just so ridiculous ? Pms and anxiety, such a great combination ..sighhh

I noticed that the day this anxiety started for me was the day I started and then I was back at the Dr office with severe anxiety and again I had started that day. It certainly makes it worse. Maybe this time when I start I won't be as worried because I will expect to feel more anxious. Hope you feel better. I also worry terribly about my kids, 20, 14, and 5. When they leave the house, I worry until they come home.

Does your son have a cell phone with him when he goes out? If he doesn't maybe you can suggest it, for his safety and for your sanity. I try not to go anywhere without mine and I'm away at college so I need it to stay in contact with people at home.

When I have PMS is when I usually get anxiety. I have did a lot of research on PMS and I believe that a lot of females have anxiety because of their PMS symptoms. However, when you are not stressing PMS symptoms are minmal.

I feel like I'm having a week long panic attack and I don't know why. I started emdr and the Prozac is helping. I am usually depressive and today it feels like both. I feel all over the place. Substitute teaching is hard. The students respect me more than teachers. The students are more likely to ask my name than teachers. I'm just "the sub" to teachers. Just feeling alone, anxious, teary, and...
