I give up.I cant live like this anymore.I have suffered anxiety attacks since I can remember, my whole life. Always use to come in waves, sometimes go on for months and then suddenly disappear, just to come back taking a new shape every time but I have always been able to ride it through, just this time is different and for the first time I have lost the will to keep going.
This is not a life worth living anymore, anxiety has taken over 24/7, I'm crying all the time, I'm afraid of even waking up because I know what a hell of a day is waiting for me. I give up.
I am a 33 year old woman, been married for 10 years and have 3 beautiful kids, and on everyone's eyes I have a good life.
When I'm in my good times I'm funny, easygoing I'm that girl that every body likes. If just one person could see inside my head they will be shocked at the mess that is inside.
My husband do not believe in mental illnesses so for him I'm just crazy, no empathy, nothing. Not even a it's gonna be ok when I'm in middle of a panic attack.
I have been having this anxiety obsessions like forever, in the last ten to fifteen years have changed from earthquakes( i live in japan after all), illnesses ( every known cancer, ALS, well you name it, I thought I have it and I was dying of it), my kids having autism, even progeria. All have been getting under control until the big japan disaster hit.All my fears turned to reality, I really believe that we all was going to die that day, there were nowhere to scape, i was going to watch my kids die, it was horrible.
But time passed , things return to normal, yet another breast cancer scare, fears of radiation contamination, just feeding my kids had became a huge ordeal from selecting veggies from not contaminated areas to don't let them play out, it was taking a toll on me alredy.
And then I have another baby, and here is where all my fears began climbing to a new high. I was obssesed about my baby well being, but i have a perfect baby boy. But in my head he is sick, he is dying And i cant help him. I have take him to every doctor available, un this 10 month he has been sick only once with a cold. But i look for lumps all over him everyday, every time i cant hold him without feeling lumps in his body, of course after all that checking i actually found two little swelling nodes, i've take him to 3 hospitals alredy And all i got is a don't worry is nothing. Now I believe he has lymphoma and that he is gonna die soon. So instead of enjoying his first crawling, or the first steps I'm just holding him crying begging him please don't die. The it hits me that he is until now perfectly healthy, but the "if" factor is killing me. I'm mourning every day, even thinking about the funeral of my very healthy and alive baby. For me it feels very real, I'm convinced that he is diying and that I can not bare. I'm taking some Xanax for the attacks but is getting worst everytime. I don't want to live like this, nobody deserves that kind of pain, I just want it to be over, to my life to be over now because from all the scares and fears that I had until now in my life, this is the one that trump me over, I just can't hold the idea if loosing my baby.
I went online looking for help, just writing all this down makes
Me have some perspective, but it's getting harder day by day
