I can't remember if I have already done this or not so here I go...
I have suffered with anxiety since April 7th 2005.
Started when I became a stay at home mom with health/going crazy fears.
Then it was the fear of going back to work or frankly going anywhere. Well my husband lost his job and I sucked it up and went back to work. Some days its hard to get through. I literally just take it 1 minute at a time but at least I am working!
Now I suffer with the fear that I am going to have a deadly allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock) from eating or drinking stuff. I think I get rid of one anxiety and move on to another. At least this one is only 3 times a day! LOL. Really I fear that this fear of dying from eating something could kill me from not eating enough. Whatever - anxiety is so complicated and totally irrational in my case. I have never been allergic to anything in my life.
I have had moderate success with an Attacking Anxiety and Depression program but have never committed to the complete 15 weeks it takes. Can't commit to journaling or exercising either. I think if I could I would have better control. I am trying it all again. I usually get half way through and my anxiety kicks up and paralyzes me mentally. I just obsess about it.
