Hello.

I have been suffering from anxiety for about 6 months now (after 4 years of nothing) My anxiety related to health and constantly feeling like I am going to catch a life threatening illness like cancer. I seem to have got to grips with myself and expelled these thoughts through my own doing however my anxiety has now jumped over to new obsessions about myself changing as a whole, I don't understand why this has happened as I was fine last week. But now I find myself avoiding doing normal things because of how I feel, I think it could be a case of my brain just trying to protect me against the constant stress but I fear that it will affect my family with the way i am acting. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so how did you expell these unwanted worries? Thank you!

    I hear ya. Anxiety can be very debilitating to our social lives. And, it can have a negative impact on family and friends. The very people we care most about.

    I try to compartmentalize it as best as I can (sometimes not very well) and get involved in as much social things as I can. All you can do is your best. And, try not to over think it. if you don't feel up to something, you don't feel up to it.
