Feeling Insecure / Obsessive Thinking
Posted , 12 users are following.
I am just wondering if any other women are having feelings of insecurity, such as fear of aging and focusing on all of the negative things that are happening to their bodies at this stage of life.
I get so tired of my obsessiveness, and I don't know why my brain does this. It is so frustrating! I keep trying to counteract it with positive thoughts.
My brain seems to settle on one fear or some insecurity about my physical appearance. Then, it just keeps going over and over it, again and again.
Is anyone else in the same boat?

Yes Bev, I think this is very common. I get stuck on it seeing women with sagging skin, almost nonexistent hair, etc. It's very difficult to see our bodies change. We've spent our whole lives looking at one face and body, and then one day you look in the mirror and hardly recognize that old women.
Wish I knew how to help you work through this. I have it too.

Hi Bev
I feel the same Mrs doom and gloom my hubby calls me . I never use to be like this but all I do is focus on my aches and pains and am I ill what’s going to happen to me next , I fear death and all sorts , is so draining and makes me down , hate who I am right now . Today I can’t stop focusing on my heart I feel there is something wrong . I get this every other week if I feel a palpitation or it’s racing , doc says it’s fine but I still feel it ... hope I haven’t made you more anxious with my worries

I am on hrt and I think that it counteracts the aging process and helps with the symptoms. Menopause was a nightmare for me at first but it becomes a chance to improve and appreciate my life!

I was in despair a year ago when I diagnosed with an early menopause and fortunately I found a gyn who knows and cares. He putted me almost immediately on hormones. I am in peri and I cannot imagine to have to handle all these symptoms for more years without medical intervention. For me hrt is a lifesaver.

Yes, yes ,yes! These days I'm obsessed with aging. I'm into supplements and Creams and serums and crazy amounts of workouts! I'm always thinking of turning old and wrinkly and helpless in a wheelchair, Its freaking me out. I fell in love with a guy (kid almost!) who is 35 and do everything to seem 30! I hate the reading glasses and try to wear them as seldom as possible.
