hi everyone! im not new to this community ive been here about a year, posting on and off. i've gotten some helpful advice. ive suffered with anxiety for years...pretty much since i was a child...im 30 now! id say my main anxiety trigger is health, i also have social anxiety and very low confidence. i was diagnosed when younger but havent spoke to a professional since (i'm scared to go and also feel im wasting their time) ive just pretty much tried to deal with it best i can. growing up i experience panic attacks on a regular basis...hiding away and not telling anyone about them. ive been pretty good at hiding it believe it or not. my anxiety can be scary at times but ive learnt its also part of me which i hate! my anxiety got worse after giving birth to my son 4 years ago...i gave up work to be a full time mum and its been a good and bad decision...good cos ive been able to be with my son 24/7 which is a blessing but bad in the sense its made my anxiety worse. i get anxious about alot of things..my son, my husband...myself!! its hard. i love my life but hate my anxiety. i worry something bad is around the corner...i worry about my health my boys health my husbands health. ive recently taken up meditation, anyone tried this?
i tried meditation once. its hard for me to find quiet time due to my dogs wanting to jump all over me. let me know if it helps you any!
