Just surviving

[littlemissworry]

I'm fed up not living my life but merely "surviving" in my head, every day. No matter what I tell myself, I seem to convince myself that something I ate or accidently consumed maybe might kill me. As I type this I realise how ridiculous it sounds, but the fear and worry that I feel is unreal. Can't keep doing it, I am attending my 3rd session of CBT on Saturday, so far it's not really kicked off but fingers crossed I find it useful in the end.

I just feel useless, my husband is exhausted explaining to me that everything is fine, I have no reason to worry, I just massively doubt everything! I scrub and scrub the kitchen sides, plates, glasses and have started to avoid food completely sometimes now because I'll just worry about it for hours afterwards until it's forgotten and then onto the next worry.

Can anyone relate or am I just losing the plot?!

I regularly get intrusive thoughts like these.. it's horrible.

Hi there, I can relate. It’s just an ugly cycle. I too am getting some needed help and my wife iss fed up too.

I guess as long as we keep trying our best- and do whatever it takes to get better is all we can do.

I’ve learned that it’s ok to feel this way, we just have to keep moving forward and do our best to cope.

When I had it bad, I went to the ER. This helped a lot and got me some help.

Hope this helps.

Hey hun!!

That's all familiar with me. Its constant worry after worry. That's what Anxiety will do...it disturbs every aspect of our lives. It's a shame! Smhhhh we will beat this.
