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...
So I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time. Most of my life. I know my attacks. These do not feel like my attacks.
I have been to therapy and that is not working because they are telling me crap I already know. They have taken me off meds and I deal with it without medical help. I feel as though I am going crazy.
I have been having the signs of fibromyilgia and since my mom has it she see it also. The drs here are not helping with that. I am in pain all the time.
I am currently numb and tingly on my left part of my body and no it is non heart related even though I get pains in chest area. It can be due to either fibro or panic attacks.
I can't relax!! I have tried hot baths, meditaion,and other things. My sleeping schedule is so screwed up. I have therapy tomorrow but I am thinking of just staying home.
My hubby has a kidney problem that he goes to dialisys three times a week, one of my sons has broke his arm, which I could not handle being at the er for him with and my aunt and her problems are coming for a visit. My SIL is starting her I wanna fight crap with me and I just want to be able to breath.
I have no real help here. I am losing it. I can't be a rock anymore. I need some help.I just can't seem to catch a break.
My daughter has just informed me I am a crappy mother, she is 12 because I can't hang out with her the way she wants me to. I have offered to watch movies with her but she doesn't want to she wants me to take her swimming or shopping.
I am in tears I am fed up and if I was scared of death I would just end it all.

Don't skip the therapy. Tell them you are having numbness and tingling and any other pains you have not shared. Ask for massage and a TENS unit. They can give you a unit to take home the same day! It sends electrical pulses (you can pick your own massage program on the good units) and if you have Fibro, it will be God send! I am assuming it is physical therapy but if not, ask for a referral for a PT.
I know how hard it is to be a caregiver. My husband has liver disease and is currently disabled. I work full time and we have 3 boys. I get attitude sometimes too but hey I am not Wonder Woman. I can't give them everything they want and that is life.
Please be kind to yourself and take a break for yourself each day. Take 1 hour at least and go do something just for you. You deserve it! You are in my thoughts and prayers:-)
Don't take what your 12 year old says to heart! :( It's a horrible age for them as well. All the hormones, and changes they are feeling going through make them say things they don't mean! I can promise that tomorrow you will be her favorite person again!
You are going great. Keep chugging along and remember it does get better, even when you feel like it's hopeless!! You will get through it. Please message me anytime! I can feel what your going through and I'm sorry!!
Please accept my HUG to you!!!!!!
I do have fibro,and it is a journey for me..i suffer from anxiety too from time to time..my thyroid messed up,and went hypo,and so i started my new thyroid meds,and iam doing better..
I am learning so much about how to cope with anxiety and fibro,by coming on here,talking,and writing in my journal everyday..
I do hope you feel better soon!!!!
I go to physical thearpy 2-3 times a week now,for massage,and tens,and ultra sound treatments,it is helping me!!
I dont know your age, but this could be related to harmones too..
Take care of yourself!!!!!!!
