Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Hi all
I need a cheering up, so how about just for fun we list the weird, stupid, and funny stuff we have anxiety from. Come on, you all know you do it.
Heres mine:
1. I think my daughter has fallen asleep in the bath and drowned ALL the time (hasn't happened yet)
2. I think I'm putting on weight and can't eat
3. I stress about spelling and grammer. It's nuts. Like anybody cares (except my mother, who points out all my mistakes, hence my anxiety!)
4. The car behind me is going to rear end me (this has happened twice, hence the anxiety)
5. The car on the side street is going to shoot out in front of me and not give way (happened once)
6. Every time the phone rings, I feel tense because it might be my autistic sons school calling to say he's in trouble again.
7. Good and wierd - the cat hates me and is plotting against me

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...
1. I worry about getting in the shower when i am alone in the house incase i become ill and cant get out the shower (How stoopid does that sound...i'm 23!!)
2.I worry that my heart has stopped beating so i have to check my pulse to check its still going (like i would still be alive if it did stop!!)
3.If i see one magpie bird then i freak out because i think something really awful will happen (its just a bird!!)
4.I think if i do any exercise then my heart will give up because its working too hard (sounds ridiculous doesnt it!! your heart is meant to cope with excercise!!)
Suppose its all part of the anxiety!
2. If i have a nightmare and somthing bad happens init i think that i will make it come true.(yh coz im god and i have the power)
2.I think people are looking, talking or juding me even though i know its not realistic!.
3. I worry everytime my husband looks serious, is he mad at me.
4.The school sent home a note on my daughters intrims saying shed do better in social studies if she hadn,t been of sick, am afraid there going to send in looney police to take me away for being bad mum!.
DID SEND A SNOT NOTE THOUGH! LOL.
Let them know shes struggled with ss for years now and shes like her mother a magnet for sickness during season change!.
Dont think shell be rude to me again LOL!
2. i worry my fiance doesnt love me (we've just moved in together)
3. i worry im gonna walk in on someone who has died (i work with the elderly.)
4. i bring anxiety on sometimes because im worried it might come anyway.
im such a dick!
1. ok, i worry that my boyfriend and i are gonna be in an accident and ill be in a coma and be given a choice wether i want to live or die, and what freeaks me out the most is i think, what if i chose wrong??? like what if i wake up to find my boyfriend died, or what if i died and find my boyfriend lived? how screwed up is that?
2 i also have a fear of wind.... hen it blows hard and makes noise i get freaked out,
3 im scared someone is gonna pop out of a closet and chase me up the stairs when i turn out the lights,
4. and im always so positive i have every horrible desease under the sun, and i wont go to the doctor because im afraid that i dont, lol and he will think im crazy for thinking i do
I have some more to add:
1. Driving over bridges freaks me out - one day one is going to colapse under me!
2. My kids are going to run away/ be kidnapped/ get amnesia and forget me/ die in some horrible accident (which is invariably my fault)
3. My grandmother who died in 1988 is not really dead is going to come back and want all her jewellery back - I feel this every time I wear any of her jewellery, so I just don't wear it!
4. I have a really wierd phobia. I mean spiders and the dark are understandable, but this is wierd. I'm afraid of the city of Stanthorpe, about 3 hours drive west of where I live. I can't drive past a roadsign that says ?km to Stanthorpe, have severe anxiety seeing tourism ads for stanthorpe, and am feeling really tense just writing about Stanthorpe!
i cant go to the top floor of the mall it makes me have a panic attack, in case i fall over it!
i also worry i won't be able to cope and have to give up work and end up on benefits living in squalor!
At bedtime i worry i might leave a door unlocked or something switched on and spend ages checking everything.
sometimes i worry that someone is sneaking up behind me and gonna whack me over the head!
At least we realise these worries are irrational and unfounded, therefore we're not barking mad!!
i worry that i'll sleep walk, like outside an get run over or be found walking naked in the street! so then it takes hours to fall asleep1
if its a dull day, (weather wise) and then the sun shines really really bright, its like my brain cant handle it, an i fear the world is endin or somthin! how crazy is that!?
when i vist family or friends i cant stop thinking that i'll just be sick or wet myself or start swearin infront of them, i panic really bad and have to leave! sounds funny as i write it, but this ruins my life.
somtimes when i havent spoken for a while i panic an think 'oh my god i cant talk!) and i'll just blurt somthing out to prove that i can!
also when i'm laid in bed an its dark, i panic that i've gon blind, an av to turn the light on to see if i can see!
im afraid of things i can see underwater, or half sunk, i grew up in FL and everytime i passed the ship graveyard < half sunk ships in a shallow marsh> i would freak, and i wont get in a pool if someone puts a chair or something that doesnt belong in there inside it
