Hi,I did talk to my husband yesterday,and I was crying about it.He did not understand it and he just went into another room and got mad at me.My sister always tells me that I will be alright and since i got an ekg in july nothing is wrong with me and I just need to have faith and I will be okay.But thats not good enough.So I just keep quiet about.Yesterday was hard for me.I keep crying because I dont like it at all.I just need some other support somewhere like here,but i dont want to keep complaining.I am a strong person and always felt like i can get through anything.I been through alot in my life.Like loosing my mom in 01 and all sorts of things but this is something that is so hard for me.It is dreadful....thanks my new friend...I will be logging off but will checking in..

Hey there, I am sorry you are feeling so anxious and I know how awful that feels. For me as much as I hate it I sometimes have to let the anxiety just play out, let the tears come and then have a tough talk with myself that I am the only one who can control my feelings so I best get it done. I have a 27 year history of anxiety and depression.




I feel we often waste way too much of our time and energy focusing on what we don't like, what we're worried about, or what we think needs to be fixed, changed, or enhanced.

I suspect there are great things happening in your life and around you all the time.

Celebrate the good stuff around you , in others, and believe that you will be OK.

Coming here and sharing your feelings is a good way to get some of your anxiety out. Talking about it and sharing it is a good thing. You are right, our familie may get tired of our anxiety but that does not mean they stop loving us.

Gentle hugs to you,

Kitt

Hi PinkMelody. I have been suffering with Anxiety for a very long time but has become so much worse in the past few months....I totally know how you are feeling. At times it is so much easier when the husband or anyone else asks "are you doing ok" to just tell them yes and bury the pain... I know when I have actually been completely honest, it is so much more draining on me to know I have to explain everything and you get the stare becuase they honestly cannot relate to anything we are feeling. I have been checking in with myself so much lately that I have this constant film that everything filters through. It becomes exhausting. I am so short fused because my brain is not relaxed. It is so tense all day long that the littlest things will set me off. Like I read in one of the above posts, it is so true that those of us that suffer anxiety are so much more tunned into the smallest symptoms. I woke up feeling tight in my chest and now suffering all day from the symptom! I hope you are doing well. It feels so much better to be able to share with people that understand and don't think you are crazy! Take care ~Blessings~

Hang in there you are not alone!! Water has healing powers too its complicated but it has been studied. Talking on here if no one around you understands can be a big help I'm sure. Sometimes when im feeling paniky and edgy, I take some deep breaths, go to the bathroom and run some cold water. Cup your hands under the flow and think of good things, and things that make you happy; pets, loved ones, fond memories. Put those feelings into the water, and cup it onto your face 3 times. Dab a bit of it off and let it evaporate off your face as you go about doing whatever it is in your house or at work. You gotta believe, but it does help!

Hi Kitkat,thanks for checking on me...My anxiety has eased up a little.But this morning i was not feeling well.Yesterday I woke up at 4 30 in the morning to take daughter to airport...She had a long flight.I could not take a nap until she made is to where she was going...So this morning woke up with a headache...taking all these deep breaths...then I felt a little burning on my left side of the top flat part of chest...I started to get paniky.Yes i was cranky...I will get through.what is CBT therapy?Let me know.Thanks for caring...

Glad to hear you're feeling at least a little better. The rough spells can be pretty hard.

Very, very rarely is my breathing affected by anxiety, but I think I'm one of the exceptions to the rule on that one.

I thought I took my site out of my signature.
