Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Is there a medical diagnosis for worrying all the time, or is it just a product of my circumstance and something I need to deal with on my own. It's so stressful. I took a nap today with hubby and baby, and woke up thinking of my game plan for if the house caught on fire. Why would that be something I would just randomly think of and stress over? Any ideas?

The only person who could dignose that is a professional. If you think there is something wrong, then talk to your doctor. Worrying is normal, letting worry run your life isn't.

I'm not really looking for a diagnosis, what I meant was is this something that anyone has ever heard of as being a disorder? We have crisis plans for all kinds of situations (fire, tornado, etc) in my home, but what I mean is I worry about stuff like that all the time!!

that sounds like a case of anxiety to me. Are you post partum. I worry about everything too. It was at the point where it was getting a little out of control. Needed to start some Lexapro. Still worry but it is def more under control. Part of the mix is that you are a mom (mother bear) and we think and worry about everything that could affect our youngins

My youngest son is 18 months old. Post partem never occurred to me... So, there is help for it? I guess I should speak to my doc then. Thank you so much. It is a bit out of control...

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...
