anxiety

can u honestly say thats its the worst thing uve ever gone through?

Yes. It affects me as an employee, mother, wife, friend...everything. I'm so busy concentrating on myself & my symptoms and fears I can't barely focus on other things. I have numerous symptoms that keep me in fear & having DP/DR as well :-(

I'm working so hard to overcome it but it's been like riding a wave...just when I think I'm somewhat better BAM a setback. I just want to be able to fully enjoy life & be the best mommy/wife that I can.

I'm 34, almost 35, when I was younger, I would sometimes obsess about some lump, bump or pain, but not too bad, I think it started to really set in around 25-27ish, that's when all hell broke loose for me. I couldn't move on from an ailment, I would get stuck on it and think of nothing but it, ALL DAY, every minute of the day, no rest mentally, and it took a toll physically. It's flared up and went away over the years but this past 1 year has been utter hell for me with the anxiety, I too hope we can over come this crap, I sure am tired of it.

My dad insists that eventually I'll get to an age that I won't give a crap anymore, because he said he was the same way I am now, and to be honest, I've seen him have some epic anxiety moments, but not as often as I feel them, and he truly now is a much calmer person, so I do look forward to that.
