My anxiety and depression is quite bad. Lately I have had these weird almost spasms in my leg arm and hands is this normal?? I am constantly worried about having a blood clot as my nan had quite a few she had a pulmonary embolism too and cancer I always think I have cancer I get bad acid reflux and the doctor told me my voice box is red which I can't stop thinking about. All I want to do is lie down and sleep winter is hard I don't feel motivated. I lost my grandparents suddenly and I am terrified this will happen to me too I have too much to look forward to to miss but every day is a constant struggle I think people are talking about me at work and that I am never good enough. I get headaches and go to bed early because if I am asleep I am not panicking which makes me feel better. Don't know where to turn with this sad

      Hi ken it's good to know I am not alone I always fear the worst I worry that by expecting the worst I will not fully appreciate the good times. The slightest little thing I turn into something huge it's tiring. Have you seen a doctor or counsellor? I would go for years & have only just started going it's helping me xx

      Hi ken that's awful I had a very bad experience with a doctor it put me off completely and I got so depressed but refused to see a doctor. Eventually I thought I was have a breakdown so my fiancé took me to see a different doctor who is so lovely and understanding. I have told her my worries about not being able to work and she understands. Can you change doctor? Life is precious and I am sure lots of people love you xx

      Hi Sophie it's horrible isn't it and my fiancé has never had depression (which I'm thankful for) but also I don't think you can understand these things until you have lives them. I worry constantly about my health and also my work (that I am not good enough) money, going out everything you can think of. The slightest pain in my arm and I think oh it's a blood clot and I sit a lot at a desk at work so then I worry about that too!! Drives me nuts xx

      Nether did I ken but they have helped me get out of bed in the mornings. Why not try and see? I didn't think mind would help but they are. Keep me posted on how you are doing. I'm glad you have your wife she obviously lives you very much and is here to support you I don't know what I would do without my fiancé xx
