Fear of driving on the highway since my fiery wreck where I was trapped in the car. Next is fear of tornados because I'm helpless when I need to protect my child, but a tornado could take her. We live in tornado alley and have had 38 tornadoes around since yesterday.

Fear of something happening to my daughter because she is my life.

Anxiety bomb hits me when I'm around people that make me uncomfortable, and I can't leave. Sucks.

I had a huge anexity attack the other day. Just started a new job. Left my old job because of anexity and stress. I went from a lab technician to a cashier. So to say the least I'm embarrassed. What happens.. my old coworker walks into the store to buy something! And then my supervisor asks me at the end of my shift if everything's ok. I tell her yes... I finally leave go to my car.. there it was my tears start flowing and then the anxiousness starts... the fear of my old supervisor finding out where I work. My mind thinks if this coworker can come into the store. What's going to stop my old boss to come in and judge me for taking this job which is definently a set back. It was really bad.. anexity always happens at the worst of times. I'm just glad I held it together until the end of my shift

I dont blame you. I work in a hospital and want to work somewhere else, because i have health anxiety. So its hell for me most days. I can relate so much to you. For others that dont have it, love to assume until they're in our shoes. Their day will come

People. People make me anxious, they have far to much input into my life even when I have them completely cut out or close to it.

I know what exactly you mean, some people just trigger me, I don’t think they realise it but I want to just say ‘please shut up’ lol I dont want to hear their negative input or their take on how they think my life might go all it does is stress me out and then I get so anxious I dont sleep properly and that makes it all worse. Sorry, i know this is an older post
