Creeping back in...
This so annoying... I can feel the panic and anxiety creeping back in. I was feeling so good, and all of the sudden it just hits me. I hate that panicky feeling where I can't concentrate on anything and I am constantly telling myself to slow down my brain so I can think clearly. I feel like I am in a constant state of trying to calm myself down- "you are ok", "no one is sick and dying", "there are other problems worse than IF"... Some days it is just so hard to function as a normal, working adult with all of the turmoil going on in my head due to IF. It affects so much, and it is exhausting to have to sit and wait for these feelings to pass again...

Hello blbnjf,
Those are feeling I have too. What helps me is staying busy or I meditate. This calms me down faster than telling myself those very same words constantly. I understand that turmoil you have going on in your head and when I try to talk to people about my feelings, I don\'t think they really understand. It feels like they are tired of me talking about the same thing over ans over again. You are right there are worse problems than IF, but IF is the issue you are dealing with at this moment. These feeling will pass. I wish you much luck.
I feel yah! Anxiety is exhausting. Have you talked with some one about it? I am currently seeking therapy. I am also trying a little valium here and there.
Here is a little something that always makes me feel better.

I feel like you\'re reading my mind! I am literally so stressed and anxious I skipped my period this month!! I have NEVER done that before in my life. I am also thinking about seeing a therapist. =( It is such an awful feeling to want to crawl out of your skin. I bought a book on meditation and the mind/body connection. Here\'s hoping something works!! I feel ya girl. xoxo
Finding a therapist is definitely on my to-do list... I just need to make the jump and call for an appointment. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Blah! I hate all of this!!! Thanks for letting me know I\'m not alone:)
