Feeling Anxious

I have severe anxiety over storms. I am constantly checking the weather and feel as if some disaster will occur. I currently went off medication which made it so much worse and am now on something new.

I am just tired of going through feeling like this alone so I thought I would see of I could find some support

I'm currently in the same boat. Constantly checking because I'm so worried about the people I care about.

I am glad you are posting this and reaching out for support. Love the honesty and openness about this. I am not afraid of weather storms but relationship storms. So I can somewhat relate. When things go well I worry because in my relationship when things start going well, it is not too long before I suffer some sort of emotional loss. It has become a fear, even though I have invested in my emotional and mental health regarding this but it is still a struggle I have. But over time, it has gotten better and better. I have learned that I can have the fear while investing in learning new improved reactions and responses. Which in turn, has brought me strength in other areas of my life. Maybe this taught me that I can be resilient and learn to cope through anything with enough desire and effort. Hope this helps ❤️

I just feel so stressed out and nervous all the time. I feel embarrassed talking to anyone about it because I feel like they will think I'm crazy.

Well. I think you’d be really surprised how many people feel the exact same way. 💜 Your fear is actually understandable, although it probably doesn’t feel that way to you. I hope that you keep opening up about it because that may be helpful in itself. 🙂
