I some days worry all day about my health and something silly like will I be in as I know I have a parcel being delivered. What will happen if I'm out - horror!

In fact they'll come back tomorrow but it seems a big thing in my mind.

Hi Knowles

Sorry to hear you are getting no peace from all the anxiety and worry.

With this condition yes it is normal to be worrying when left alone i have this problem. And about dying its all part of how we are feeling thinking something awful is going to happen.

I know it is easy to say but try and distract yourself doing something you enjoy and get pleasure from.

I started baking cakes something i would never have thought of and its very calming as my mind is distracted also try and read.

I really do understand and feel your anxiety.

I hope you have a good day

Keep well

Love Seyi xxx

thanks for your kind words

Yes its possible to worry about everything & anything , I can be like this

As these worries come in your mind , try & push them out , the more we feed them the more we worry

I ask myself how many of my worries actually need to be a worry , usually I will be lucky to justify one

Anxiety can make us like this , with practise , we can make this get less as we go along

Keep posting , how you feel , what your worries are , it helps to talk & people will reply & this helps us to see that a lot of the things we worry about are not as bad as our minds want to tell us they are , everyone understands on here , you are not alone

Love
