Anxiety Support Group

Hello, 


       I have been suffering from anxiety since May of 2015, and I just recently got it under control. I do have setbacks of panic & anxiety when I feel overly stressed and/or worried about situations that occur in my life. Unlike most you'll never catch me "casually" thinking about things, I would fall into the catagory of overthinking almost everything that comes across my path. Even down to the smallest of the smallest things, I always suspect the worst possible outcome which causes my anxiety to flare up the WORST. For example I could have a very mild tension headache and wonder if it's a tumor, and it's like that with almost every small issue health wise. I'm hoping joining this support group can help me get out of my own head. In result to that, hello all!

Hello Finechina. Welcome to DS. Sorry for what brings you here but glad you are here.

I, too, can over-think just about anything. If it's worth thinking, it's worth over-thinking. The good news is that peer support goes amazing distances in helping me manage that unfortunate symptom.

Hope it helps you, as well. Welcome aboard.

I seem to overthink too. Stress at home with a senior parent who is still recovering from broken bones. I over think everything and worry. I have to stop sweating the small stuff.
You are not in this boat alone, take heart knowing that.

Welcome from a fellow overthinker!! It gets the best of me on a daily basis. I find myself reframing thoughts on a pretty consistent basis. You are not alone, that's for sure <3

Hi finechina, welcome to the group. I’m sorry you are having a hard time. Feel free to post when things get a little hard for you. Have you thought about professional counseling? Maybe a counselor could help you with some strategies to help you refocus your thoughts. I like to write things down to get it out of my head. Maybe consider going to get a physical so that you will know that everything is okay with you physically. Wishing you the best.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
