I'm Going Crazy!!

i feel like i'm going crazy too at times even when there is nothing going on in my life. Maybe it would help to talk about what is it that is bothering you that's if you don't mind sharing?

Kay i am sorry to hear that! I bet that is tuff to deal with. I have had a few family members that were addicts and one that still is.I learned the hard way that there is very little you can do to help them other than pray for them. They have to want to help themselves. I went through alot of ups and downs with my dad who is currently still on drugs. I literally bent over backwards trying to help him. Taking him back and forth to meetings and putting him in all kinds of rehab programs and nothing worked because i wanted him to be off the drugs but the problem was i wanted it more than he did. I learned that his addiction was bigger than anything i could ever try to do for him and until he was ready to do it there was nothing i or anyone else for that matter could do. Another thing you will wear yourself out trying to help someone who dont want to help themself. And that's basically what i did wore myself out only for him to go right back to the drugs.So basically i just gave him to a higher power. But one thing you dont want to do is enable him. I use to do that too.Now when he calls me me and tell me he has checked himself in different treatment programs i just try to give him words of enocuragement. Basically thats the only thing you can do is if he tries to himself is to stand by him and encourage him. Good luck!

Kay1111,

Good Morning and welcome to HealingWell.

I am sorry to read you are having increased anxiety

Perhaps if you would share a bit more about your anxiety with us we would be able to advise you on how to decrease this anxiety.

I see you are having problems with your boyfriend but I would really like to hear how you are feeling?  If you would like to share with us that would be great.

Again a warm welcome to HW.

Hugs

Gosh...Please can someone please give me some advice.Please explain to me what anxiety is....This is how my day started...I get up with my kids for school and drink about 2 cups of coffee.Everything is fine.All of sudden I feel this pain in my chest...then I get to feel worried and I start feeling a little sweaty.I just want to get up and go to the emergency room,and yell please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I got an ekg in july for the same chest pains and my doctor said my heart is normal.And said well its anxiety and you need to get help.and sent me on my way.I ask the nurse like a dummy so what does normal mean?she said your heart is fine and i started crying.But the doctor just sent me on my way....The only thing the doc said is your heart is normal,I said am i really feeling the chest pain or is my mind playing tricks on me?He said oh yea,you are feeling the pains but its not your heart.Okay then,but WHY do I keep feeling these pains on and off through out the day.I try to ignore them.Then I will have no pain.Then I get to thinking Hey i got no pain..then here they come.Am I crazy someone?

Kitt,I check out the link that you sent me,and why am I crying....I really dont like this one bit.I never had these feelings out all.Right now i'm on ativan and some high blood pressure medicine.I had went to a free health clinic the other day,and I was crying in the office because I had alot of frustrating inside of me and once i got in the back room after sitting for 4 hours to be seen i was crying.mind you this is right before they took my blood pressure.so anyways the doc said my bp is up because of the anxiety so she put me on the med to bring down.i even got upset with the bp medicine that i have to take.I also take ativan for the anxiety.....please reply..

Melody,

I will get back to you as soon as I get home from work today.  We need to work on your anxiety and how you can learn to cope.  Until later, hugs to you.

Kitt

Melody,

I move all of your posts to a thread of your own so please look there for your posts and comments by members...

Your name is in the topic.  I will post to you there so we don't take over Kay's thread about her problems. 

Thank you kindly and I will see you over in your thread.
