Something I wanted to share with the group:) And some music for all of us too enjoy.
What did I fear you ask? Was something going to happen to my husband or children today? If they were a little late getting home, my mind would always go to the worst case scenario. Instead of thinking they stopped off at the store or stopped to get gas, I would think they had been in a car accident. When I would babysit other children, my anxiety level would be so high, because I always feared the child might get hurt in my care; then the parents would think it was my fault; then they might sue me, and on and on the thoughts would go. I always worried about my health, and whenever I did have something wrong with me, again my mind always went to the worst case scenario-- I have breast cancer, bowel cancer, or bladder cancer. I feared being in social situations, being alone, and of going places alone. I have even worried about whether someone was going to ring my door bell that day. When my anxiety is extremely high, I have passed out in public. Most of the time, I didn't go anywhere alone and still don't like to. Even now that I feel my anxiety is pretty well under control, I still experience my mind going blank at times, and I still tremble and get nervous and stumble over my words when I'm asked a question, or even just in ordinary conversation. Panic attacks are extremely embarrassing can cause you to lose control physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Why Can't I?
It gets a grasp around me,
And tightens up its hold,
A bucket of emotions,
Quickly, then unfold.
Anxiety and fear,
With immobilizing power,
Turn life upside down,
Then proceed to devour.
Some handle life's pressures,
Without emotions running high,
They function normally,
So why can't I?

Comment by Kathy on March 22, 2008 at 7:50am - I joined this group because I USED to have anxiety and panic disorder. The panic attacks started 18 years ago, and ended with me having a nervous breakdown in 2006, which is one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. I drug myself somehow up out of that hell that I was living in, and I refused to let anxiety rule my life anymore. And it was ruling my life, clawing at me constantly, eating me alive. I hope I can help someone else to try to deal with their anxiety.
