High anxiety

[lovedogs51511]

Hiya friends! I'm already petrified scared to death to go to my Drs office this morning at 10:30 am. I couldn't leave my home yesterday to even go for a 10 minute walk! I kept saying this is ridiculous why am I wasting my life away scared of what others think? I hate being seen by anyone even family!! My aunt is coming in a couple of days and I'm nervous even for that. I can't believe this and this extreme anxiety has always ruined my life since I was a kid. I keep praying please God help me get over this!!! Plus there's a church across from my condo I just moved into and can't go there either due to being scared they will judge me. Dang it I hate this. Anyone else scared to death of ppl??? I just want to be able to feel at ease so I can enjoy life here in beautiful Utah. God bless everyone and have a wonderful day😀😎😄😊

Google morning lovedogs, yes i do know how it feels. As a shy, only,Child ive never been easy in company. I don't suppose i ever will be. Years ago i was housebound for 4years! But i do manage to get out now. I stick a smile on my face wave a cheery hello to neighbours n no one would guess how im Feeling. Please, do go to Church if it's a comfort to you.. you could always arrive late n sit quietly at the back.leaving before the crowd does. You wouldn't need to speak to anyone. I Sympathise with you having to go Docs, it isn't easy i know. But something we all have to do. Yesterday I had to go hospital for some exploratory tests n had to listen to numerous hypnosis Vids on YouTube in order to stay calm. Deep breathing n mindfulness help to. Good luck for today. Let me know how you get on. 😊🌻✌️

Good morning dubba61!! Oh thank you for your message! I'm so bored right now at 2 am due to having anxiety already! Thanks for sharing your experiences with this issue. I've always hidden in my home except during my addictions. Being sober everything is ten times worse!! I'm so glad you can get out now cause I know the hell of staying housebound. Its a miserable life. I can't believe I'm wasting my life so scared. I just don't understand it. The thing is is that a week ago my first appt with this Dr went good but being out scared me silly. Having to go to a huge Wal-Mart to get new med was terrifying. I thought I was going to die. I'm so hyper on top of needing to chill out from this anxiety is just a mess. Lol. Sorry,I'm just rambling its the bipolar2 and the ADHD. Drives me crazy. Lol. How are you this morning??

Aww i do sympathise. It's horrible. I hate big shops too. To many folk milling around, lights to bright, too much noise! If i have to go I'm Straight in n outta there. Thank God i 🙏 never took to drinking, otherwise I'm sure i would a bin an alcoholic! Today I have to go and get photocopies n sort out an insurance claim.They make it so difficult! I suppose they hope you'll just give up.😊so not looking forward to that. Also, got to ring Docs n arrange another hospital visit. So not looking forward to that either! I have COPD n find talking on the phone difficult as my voice is wheezy. Ahhh well, we will get through this day lovedogs. As my old Grandma used to say " these things are sent to try us" bless her. Try to get some sleep if you can. As ever my best wishes to you

😊🌻✌️Dee

Bless your grandma I love her advice. Makes sense! I'm saying my prayers for you to make it thru today. I'm so sorry you have to deal with copd! I hear that's very hard to deal with. I saw that you are swimming and I'm so happy its helping you breathe. Keep up the good work cause swimming is one of the best ways to exercise. Like you said we'll get thru today!! Hugs my friend!!! Oh I get nervous on the phone as well. Totally understand that!!! Have a blessed day today and God bless!

I forgot as far as church goes that's a good idea Thank you ill try it if I can get the courage to go. There's not to many ppl there but my problem is that,I've seen them dressed up and I don't have nice dress clothes to even attend church like them. I would feel really out of place or that it would show that I'm disrespecting God if I don't dress up. I don't want them to think that!! I would feel devastated. Thanks for your advice. Ill just keep trying to go.

[Dubba61 in reply to lovedogs51511]

That's just "show" lovedogs. And personally i don't think Church is the right place for that. I'm certain God won't care what your wearing, only that your there. Yes, keep trying. It can be a big comfort. 😊🌻✌️

[lovedogs51511 in reply to Dubba61]

Ill keep trying cause that's all I can do!!! I would love to go so each Sunday ill keep telling myself I can do it. I should at least give it a shot at least once!!! See what happens....

Hey. ☺

For most of my life, I think I had social anxiety. Some people seem to trigger it more than others for some reason.

Unfortunately, even family and relatives can make me anxious, and I don't know why. House visiting and having relatives come over scared me a lot. Including attending weddings or other social events. Nowadays, the social anxiety is the least of my worries because it seems that I've developed health anxiety, which is improving, but I think it caused me to have an anxiety disorder now. 😅

[lovedogs51511 in reply to Khairul]

Me too. Social anxiety is the worst!! Like you said I get extremely nervous around family cause I'm the one with problems, the black sheep, ex drug alcoholic addict, etc. Lol. Everyone in my family is married and has kids house blah blah blah. All very successful which makes my anxiety go thru the roof. I'm not successful whatsoever. Its always kept me very housebound. Going on decades of dealing with this!!! I wish I could find the answers as I hope you do as well. Oh hope I can ask but what is health anxiety?? Never heard that term before. Hope you had a blessed day😄😀😎

[Khairul in reply to lovedogs51511]

You're welcome! It's good you don't know what is health anxiety. It's where one feels anxiety about their health due to worries or concerns about certain bodily or physical symptoms that is obsessive or excessive because even after being cleared by doctors or specialists, they tend to still worry about it.

It's also known as hypochondriasis.

It's not a nice thing to go through. 😅

I hope you're doing well. Realise that you don't have to have the same things like everyone else and accept the past. Don't worry about others judging you because we can't control their actions. ☺

[lovedogs51511 in reply to Khairul]

Thanks for the message! Its hard not to care what ppl think when they always hate me for no reason! Iwas just told tonight tonight on a chat room site someone said everybody hates you Kacey! I couldn't believe it. Total coward! Thank you for the message. Makes sense I guess.

[lovedogs51511 in reply to Amarie37]
