Hello No More Panic!
I'm new to the boards and have already found them so very helpful! Knowing you're not alone in this is so encouraging. Reading the stories, tips, tricks, and journeys of others allows me to find the peace within myself to enjoy/maintain this unique ride.
My therapist recently made it clear that in addition to my general anxiety, I also struggle a bit with health anxiety. As it's been brought to my attention, I'm noticing the onslaught of constantly trying to "catch" something before it happens or being confident I'm "okay".
Today I popped into work for a few hours in the afternoon. Upon getting home and grabbing dinner, I forgot I had also order out earlier today... or more so it seemed like so long ago. In addition, I started to become more and more anxious because it also seemed like it was an entirely different day or "so long ago" that my son came home from his grandparents house and I chatted on the phone with a friend. Now I'm scared that I have some kind of memory loss, I'm schizophrenic, or the new medication I'm taking is "making me feel this way". I'm trying desperately NOT to Google and worry... but obviously thats not so easy. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Thanks in advance!
