hello from oz

[athenais]

Hello
My name is Heidi. I have suffered from different forms of anxiety for years. Everytime I think that I have beaten it that churning stomach comes back and I start to worry. A few years ago I ended up seeing a top cardiologist because I was convinced I was suffering from terrible heart disease. With will power, support and lots of massage etc. I got through it.
I feel very frustated at myself at the moment as I feel that I should no better but these aching arms, headaches, twitches etc can only be dire disease. I have half talked myself out of this but that doubt is always sitting there just waiting to grab.
I don't understand I am happily married with three great children and my life seems to be going in the direction that I want it! So why I not like so many others that I know and just enjoy it instead of worrying about what ifs that might never eventuate!!!!!!!!!!! I sometimes think that it is when my life is looking up that I cannot handle it and somehow my subconscious wants to wreck it.
sorry to have this ramble but it is so wonderful to find somewhere people understand. My husband and family all think that I am crazy.
take care Heidi

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Welcome aboard, Heidi

Sometimes people are enjoying life and this hits them for no apparent reason.

Maybe you had worries and issues from way back which you may have surpressed and now they have decided to come out. Just a thought.

Hope you'll find comfort here - I think you will,

Take Care
