I'm wondering how to deal with fear, I have it constantly making me so sick to my stomach. What can I do? I can't seem to shake it. I'm paranoid that everything will turn out so badly, like I don't deserve to have anything good happen in my life.
Fear is only in our mind... taking over all the time.
if that's true, why can't I believe it?

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...
Are you sure it's fear, and not anxiety? To me, that's pretty much what I experience, but I always labeled it 'anxiety'!!!
(Which is a good label, since there's meds for it!!!)
Take care and good luck!!! I hope you find a way to put a stop to it!!!
have you spoken to your doctor gotm to get on some meds babe that have an anti anxiety effect to quell the fear and the ever present feeling of doom. gotta speak up babe get on some rispiridone or someting :) you cant live like that babe its draining.
You may find some relief from some anti anxiety medication... its not far fetched that it is anxiety and that this is a trigger. If you seek help with meds I would state it like that. That its a trigger that he is away not that that is the problem.
Im here if you need to talk (even if its the wrong account)

That's a tough one, since there is a valid reason to be afraid!!!
I looked at your profile and I assume and hope that you've posted this over in the military families community, as well as on here!!!
Focus on prayer and therapy, since they seem to work for you!!!
And if you haven't already, seek out military based groups on sites other than this, as well!!! Keep looking for all the support you can find!!!!
And know my thoughts are with you!!!! And your guy!!
Take care and good luck, sweetie!!! You have a LOT on your plate!!! I suppose it isn't very likely that you can cut down on the stress in the other areas of your life, but if you CAN manage it at all, do so!!!!
It takes the edge off my anxiety, but that's about it!!!!
the short term is good for when your anxiety just flat out gets out of control. I take one tab in the am and one in the pm... help me face my morning and laying in bed to sleep... I save my other dose for crisis... or extream attack that I just cant sit through... it works for me but I accept that I will just have to live with some anxiety.
Ask me in 6 months when my Husband leaves for boot camp on may 8th how Im managing... I forsee a hospital visit... that scares me as I have no where for my daughter to go really... it will be hard.
I know dont plan a bvreak down... but I know its inevitable... just thinking about it here is started the anxiety...
I can completely understand your need to help control the anxiety. I would almost bet that if you described your symptoms they would be anxiety symptoms and maybe even panic attacks at the really bad moments. Stress can be a huge trigger to anxiety.
Is there something specific about him being away that you can adress??? it might help
