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 am touched by all the comments. I am new here. But in need of encouragement to get through this very difficult time. With so many stressful events happening I am experiencing some horrible physical things. I was only having morning stress, meaning my chest would tingle and burn as I thought of everything going on. It would eventually wear off as day went on. But then it has stayed with me all day and more severe with diarrhea and not wanting to eat. I’m tired and exhausted. I finally went to the doctor and prescribed something for me. Now waiting for it to take effect. I keep telling my husband, I just want to feel normal.
Thanks for listening.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

...and another day closer to Fall! Tra la la la la...Next month there is a Sasquatch Festival in my city! We're excited to go and get our picture taken with Bigfoot. Really!Have a great day, everyone -
Two questions for you...but first to say is how awful I feel for you. Take time to get checked over by your PCD. Find out what the causes of exhaustion and diarrhea are, how serious this is, and how you might relieve the problem. Best to you on that - now the questions: Does your husband treat you as the light of his life. That's very important! Next, do people listen to you, and are you in a position of leadership?
Finally, take time to make out a checklist to follow to insure your winning, positive, and powerful personality. The goal is to find greater self-confidence, emotional security, and peace of mind. As you do this, you'll gain the ability to think clearly and express your feeling precisely. Most likely, no person is listening to you, noticing you, and not recognizing your talents. And keep in mind that you can't govern what others think or imagine of you. However, you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
Again, I'm sorry for your anxiety. You mention "keep" telling your husband. Why do you have to repeat your issues with him? Perhaps this problem is coming from inside the home issues. At home is supposed to be your safe place, peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. Are you newlywed (side question). Trying to control the attitude of a husband is emotional and quite challenging. And you may need help or tips in avoiding arguments and disagreements.
I hope for you to stay onsite, and if you need friends please start making them.
Always the best to you!
All symptoms came upon me all at once. I’ve already gone through menopause, so I know it’s not that. But symptoms are much the same. Went to dr and he checked it all out.
Thanks for your feedback.
I really feel you have a meaningful condition, and it is so great that your husband is there for you. Glad to know that you don't think that family behavior is the problem. And your husband has to feel a deep concern for you. I believe that good, skilled counseling will help. Rest in your husband's love for now.
Best! I hope another day brings brighter feelings.
It's so great to have a supportive spouse. But having other outlets, such as therapy, helps take the pressure off the spouse to have to "do everything" and be everything, for you. Our spouses can be great.... but they are not professionally trained to help with anxiety, depression, etc.
Best wishes to you!
There has been quite a rush of "Normies" here who are experiencing out-of-control anxiety for the first time. That rush has me convinced that anxiety is the real pandemic here. Anxiety pathogens have yet to be identified or measured by medical science, but it remains utterly contagious, with or without the technology to measure and statistify ^it^.
Dunno how any of this grand social experiment of Global Coronaville will end, but my prayer is that we can work through ^it^ together. Just praying. . .
Welcome aboard. Hope you find stabilizing companionship here. You are not alone.
Listening. . .
maybe try some yoga or meditate, try eft tapping (looks stupid-but works) there are a bagillion videos on youtube--even some relaxing music...there is this binaural beats music that uses certain frequencies to relax, calm etc.
I hope you feel better soon!
You are lucky to have a supportive husband. I have told my husband about the anxiety but no one really 'gets it.' He's a Type A personality that believes that anyone should be able to get over anything if they put their mind to it. We all know it doesn't work that way with anxiety!
I will share with you my favorite resources which you can google while you are waiting for your meds to kick in. Not a cure YET for me but they are somewhat helpful....
The Anxiety Guy and The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner. Love these two guys!
In the meantime, be gentle with yourself and speak kindly to yourself. Try some mental distractions. Dwelling on the anxiety, which I find myself sometimes doing, is like throwing gasoline on a fire.
Sorry for what you are going through! Good luck and I wish you peace of mind!
Writing it out is the important first step in finding your better balance.
