I've had a couple of awesome days this week but I woke up with major anxiety this morning. When I wake up, I feel like my vision is out of whack and it sends me into panic mode. I have terrible eyesight it begin with and can't see a thing until I get my contacts in. But everything just looks staticky for a few minutes. Now I'm over sensitive about my vision and looking so hard at everything all day. Driving me crazy.

Also my dad passed out at work two days ago. Apparently it's happened twice before and he didn't tell us. I am so worried about him and feel so anxious waiting for all his tests to be done.

I've been lucky that I've been on summer break while my anxiety has been so bad over the last few weeks. I have to go back to work for training Monday-Thursday and I'm feeling nervous about having to just sit still all day for 4 days.

Hi Teacher,

If you read back over your post...you will see that there are quited a few things that are bothering you, and most likely exacerbating your anxiety and symptoms.

Try working on the things that you can control...such as using your coping skills, and practicing positivity.

...and the things that you can't control...try to take them as they come, and not project worry into the future, or attach what-if or worst case senario though patterns to them.

We will keep your dad in our thoughts and prayers...and hopefully this is something benign causing his syncope episodes.

Keep posting...we are here to listen anytime.:)

I don't know what it is but my right eye seems to have worse vision some days, it's weird and I developed some vision changes right about the time my anxiety started back in 97.

I hope you guys get some answers to what is going on with your dad. I know it's hard to worry about people we love.
