Hi...I have been experiencing anxiety for a number of years now. Basically I over think things, work myself up. Was just wondering if anyone had only experienced anxiety in their adult years, and can it be a result of feeling unloved as a child? Don't get me wrong I was loved, one parent thogh just didn't show it, and I was bullied for being a bit overweight also.
i dont know about feeling unloved as a child because i have great parents even now as an adult they will go out of there way for me. Maybe its contributed to your anxiety.
but when i was younger i had various problems, now as an adult i have put it mostly behind me but anxiety has creeped in. Over thinking is my middle name, lol. I constantly do it. any situation, no matter how big or small. i have been able to control it to a point, but now, sometimes i just get out of control with it all.
I was picked on at school quite bad, but i dont think thats got anything to do with my stuff now. it did back when i was a teenager. but i worked through that.
Have you ever spoken about it? or worked through it? or even just talked to someone, a friend, about your parents and what you felt when you were younger? hope your ok
Hi Lanie, I know what your going through. Yes, my anxiety has gotten worse in my adult years too. Have you been to see your gp about your anxiety?
I think we ALL can find fault with our parents, mine loved me but we're too old and ill themselves to really understand me, and certainly the Health problems I inherited from both though genetics. I think your anxiety may result either from an illness you inherited or from the stress of modern life.
Hello...I've not been recently but have done in the past due to a massive panic attack. Since then I have suffered with anxiety on and off. I do talk with my sister about things ( she has panic attacks too) but sometimes I just try to work through it myself. Just lately I've been feeling v tearful, but for no specific reason x
Hello, yes I'm OK thanks. More tearful just lately not sure why really. Not able to talk to my parents really, we're not that close, especially now they have moved abroad x
