Anxiety becoming worse....
Posted , 7 users are following.
I seem to becoming more and more anxious and I was hoping to get some advice. For the first time last night I actually sat down and spoke with my husband and discussed how bad my fears and anxiety are becoming and now I think I might need to get some help.
To give a bit of background my family have had a tough few years, my brother died tragically as a result of a house fire in a friends house a few years ago when he was only 19, last year my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and my dad is currently undergoing tests for alzheimers. I know its probably no excuse but every waking hour of my day is now filled with a fear and dread that I am going to be next. I am only 34 but constantly worry about my health any pain, lump or bump is automatically cancer and I think Im not long for this world and wont get to see my boys grow up! Its consuming my life and really starting to effect my at home and work.
I have had some health issues in the past with stomach problems but nothing major but I am starting to feel as though I am constanly in pain and there is always something wrong with me, so is it all in my head?
I suppose I am quite an anxious person anyway as I can struggle to relax especially when it comes to housework, routines etc and I would love to be in a frame of mind to say "it can wait till tomorrow"
I work full time in quiet a high pressure job which I just started last year in November so I am not sure if this is another contributing factor, I would really love some advice to help settle me and make me realise Im not losing my mind, thanks in advance!

I am just like you and it has been bereavement and illness that has triggered my intrusive thoughts and panic attacks again and this is a constant trigger.
It really sounds like you need some help and I guess there is a choice. A GP, CRUSE they are so good with bereavement issues.
Please let me kmow how you get on and take care.
