Thank you everyone! That makes it clear, and i believe i am over reacting, but i can't help it!!! I know that i'm putting this stress on myself, as there's no need for me to even feel this way!! I do...
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!! thank you so much for all the responses. you all really did make me feel better! i haven't worried too much about it today!! you have no idea how good you have made me...
Thanks Lyn!! i know i go over the top and beyond with my worrying, i'm a bit more calm now, however, i'm trying to shake it out of my head and enjoy life! i will add you to my msn, i would love to...
Thank you so much for your input!! Even though it's a horrible thing to go through, it helps so much knowing that others are going and have been through it too. i was reading past posts here, and...
I ended up checking up briefly on the internet about S. i didn't read too much, i didn't want to get myself worked up, but i'm not delusional, i understand my worries are ridiculous, i don't have...
but then again that is probably just one of my many obsessions. i'm sure that if i was, it would be visible to people, and that i wouldn't notice, right? because i do not feel like anyone is out to...
that makes me feel better! but one thing that worried me that you mentioned, is that a few years ago on the news, there was a story of a couple families where someone broke into their homes and put...
Thanks Lyn! Right before I read this i was in the middle of googling schizoprenia-i'm not going to do that now! i'll just wreck my day because i will probably work myself into symptoms! i'm going to...
Hi everyone! I haven't been on for a while, and the past couple of days, anxiety hit me head on again. i have OCD (i haven't been diagnosed, but I fit the picture to a T), and now i'm worried, 'what...
I was going to post a thread like this a couple days ago, but you beat me to it!! I was on the verge of believing i was crazy because i would have the scariest thoughts that i just couldn't get out...
hi again lyn! i called EI this morning and it's in effect!!! i breathe now! as for the boyfriend, i'm not sure if im being too touchy. he tried i know, but not hard enough as he admitted to me today....
Hi Lyn! I saw my doctor last monday, and she extended it, now i'm just waiting for EI to kick in which i hope happens ASAP!!! i'm stressing!!! To add to the stress though, my boyfriend and I just...
I cannot believe how exactly alike our situation is!!!!!!!!! I'm not working at the moment, and like you, am worrying over money, etc. i also have ocd, which i constantly obsess that i have some kind...
My God Lyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I just responded to your post regarding the stress leave, and I have been so wrapped up in my stuff i didn't even get a chance to look at your post,...
Staying home with the kids is more work than going to work, but much more fulfilling of course!! Thanks Lyn for getting back to me on that! I hope you're feeling better!...
Good Morning! Yesterday i saw my doctor, and she wrote me a note for work to excuse me for the next 3 weeks from work. that gave me a sense of relief! so for 3 weeks, i will be paid through EI, but...
I'm doing alright today. i've had butterflies all day though because i know i have to talk to my supervisor tomorrow, and she's not nice when you're calling in sick. it's not so much that part, as i...
Thanks Lyn, you put me at ease for now!! (until my mind does that 'stinking thinking' as you call it!!!!!!) I didn't know until today that we're in the same area!! i called my friend who works at the...
Thanks Lynn! I'm in Vancouver, BC so I hope it will be easy. I do need though. that work environment will drive me crazy, one day, i'll go in there and snap, and it won't be pretty! everything i've...
Thanks for your reply! I really do not want to use up my holidays if i don't need to. i'm going to see what my doctor says, and go from there. i have a knot in my stomache just thinking about having...
I haven't been on here for a while, as I haven't been able to access a computer....anyways, anxiety hit me head on a couple weeks ago, and realized it's my job that works me up the most. i'm...
Hi guys! i have ocd, and right now, i'm obsessing over global warming. i went to this website, www.stopglobalwarming.org , and with everything i am reading, i'm so scared. i'm catholic, and...
i have the same question, what made you marry him in the first place?? how long did you know him before marrying him? you sound miserable, and i think you should try to make yourself happy. he is a...
i was going to mention the same thing harry! i purchased this book, however, i haven't finished it yet. i catch myself only reading it when my ocd is at its peak. reading the book is very relieving...
Hockey Fan, good luck meeting this other 'woman'. it takes a really strong person to do so - i don't know if i'd be able to, but then again, i have never been in that situation. Lyn, my heart goes...
i know how you feel when you don't want to be home alone. i cannot stand being home alone at night, and i have 2 children as well. i don't know why that is, but that's when my anxiety goes wild and...
I cried too with relief when i came on these forums!!! i was so scared when I got this severe anxiety which started a few months ago. i was sure i was crazy, or maybe schizo (even though i don't hear...
I'm even going to check this out, since i still go through my spurts!! thank you!! i will check out that manual once i get a chance on my break!!!...
i never have, but i should! how do you go about that anyways??...
that does not sound cheesy at ALL. i wish too that i could still go about daily living without having a horrible scary thought enter my mind. i hate it. one thing that helped me is the book titled...
you definitely are not alone! i have racing scary thoughts a lot when my anxiety levels are high. it's pure torture when your mind does this to you. since september, i've had horrible anxiety,...
I know what you mean! i can't talk to anyone about the things i worry about , because i know people will think i'm crazy. if i heard someone else tell me that they worried about what i worry about ,...
My situation sounds exactly like yours!! i'm 25, and when i was in high school, i went through a phase in my life, that once night time hit, i had so much anxiety. I was scared to go to sleep, and I...
YOU SOUND JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend pulls of little jokes to, which he finds funny, and i don't even want to hear it. i have obsessive compulsive disorder bad, and I got this really good...
I'm 25 years old, and I have had panic attacks for years already!! when i was in high school, there was a time i was dealing with a lot of stress and would get really bad panic attacks for some time....
i so have this too, all the time. sometimes my fear on one thing will calm down, only because i have a fear of something else. i am very obsessive compulsive, and i can't stand it. i worry all the...
No problem! I know I probably sounded a bit repetitive toward the end!!!! anyways good luck!!! Hear from you soon!!...
I think you're right! Good communication can get couples through mostly anything (as long as they want to be together)!!! /community/emoticons/smile.gif Since your girlfriend knows and understands...
It's good that you're getting help, but in my opinion, I don't think meds are the way out. I think it's something you have to get over on your own. I was in a relationship for 2.5 years with someone...
That's nice how you're first on her list! That shows you what her top priority is! You had that agreement not to see other people, and if it wasn't for the alcohol, it never would have happened. As...
Good Morning! I think it's your anxiety that is getting the best of you. I am having trust issues with my boyfriend as well. I busted him in the middle of december talking to an ex girlfriend that...
Considering the ages of your children, i agree that it doesn't matter when you leave. Although, around this time can make things more stressful for you bringing more anxiety and panic. how are your...
TELL HIM TO HIT THE ROAD!!! If you already know for sure, you don't need to give him any explanations. I was pregnant with my second child when I found out the father of my kids was having an affair....

Thanks guys for all the responses!! I have been fine the past few days (because it was the weekend) and i didn't clue into any noises-so i think i bring all this on on my own! Lyn, I would like that...
Hi there! it sounds to me like it's an obsession. i have OCD, and you couldn't even imagine things that i worry and obsess over! i do that too sometimes though, always peeking out of the shower...
you mean it's not hereditary? there's talk in the family that someone along the lines had it, and i was freaking out more because of that....
i did read somewhere that when you're stressed out and suffer from anxiety, that it is common to hear noises etc. with me i always think the worst. i am trying very hard to just relax, but i keep...
Thanks Lyn!! my racing heart has slowed down now! i've noticed from other things i posted and from viewing others, that you are so quick to respond and make people feel better! Thank you so much!!...
