So i've been hving anxiety. More like health anxiety. Everytime some physical symptoms shows i can't stop thinking about it until i get to the Dr. It went so many times my mom become bored and brushed it of now whenever i told her about new symptoms. She seems annoyed and mad because of it. I think in her mind she's wondering why am i never looks healthy. And she really didn't hold back. It makes me really upset and alone. I know she wants me to be healthy (who doesn't) but somehow my body keep gving symptoms like crazy. Urghhh
I am exactly the same only it's my husband that gets annoyed with me.. I have been unwell for 3 weeks with a viral and kidney infection and when I say everything that I am feeling he keeps telling me to stop going on about it and gets annoyed.. I have been driving myself mad as I have lost about a stone in 3 weeks and I am still having problems eating even tho I am really hungry... anxiety is not a nice thing to have and you are not alone with it I used to think I was too but since finding this forum and talking to others I am feeling a bit more at ease
I know right? I don't want this, but i can't help it. This forum have been helping me to rely on but one time my mom caught me looking through it and she saw huge word of anxiety and told me off. I had an interview just hours ago, it was the first time after more than 4 years doing it. And now i can feel my anxiety creeps in. My neck feels really tight, my abdomen feels tight. I just want to relax and not caring about how that interview went (it went not what i expected and i kinda stucked with my own tongue).
You not alone. Mum the same. Thinks it better not knowing about it. Under standable but they seem don't understand how knowledge use in good way equally powerful in knocking out fears or at least bring down perspective. Families can be emotional charged! Just be aware.
Yess. And the worst is that both mt parents thinks i'm lazy doing nothing. Just scrolling through my phone and sleeping. In reality i seem don't have a strength to do what i used to do when i'm normal. I don't hv job because my confidence is hampered by anxiety. I'm afraid i'm not good enough. Trying something when having anxiety is like a really big deal. I don't want to lose the fight
My mums the same every time I have an episode I go to her for help or thinking she understands and will calm me down but I feel she's just thinks I'm stupid or over re acting
Families often had automatic worse case secrios, brushing under carpet etc. Typically of what ifs and assumptions well not them but world! Why don't you explain how knowledge is good knocking downs fears issues? Not root itself but at least issues. Knowing about it might spark first panicky reaction but re visit you ll find reaction normal! I found this happen few times. First reaction doesn't mean always same. Staying away more likely worsen it under duress! Bit like telling one don't think pink elephant. They suddenly will! This how mind work. Work on people skills..this sound possible reason for insecurities that bring about habits fears eventually breakdown? You could do flyers offers dog walking car washes odd jobs etc informal little steps can help boost confidence. I already got 5000 flyers house cleaning and dog walking offers. Plan do them tmw. Make walking excise fun too easily for mind off conditions. Good luck!
My mom doesn't think I'm crazy..but Everytime I get a new symptom I would rush to the doctor.....and she'd be like......u know what it is y wasting money everytime....I don't think they understand what we going Tru
I kmow the feeling in regards to
Family ignoring the symptoms.
I went through the same and turned to those who understood and helped me through it. The ignoring itself created more anxiety. Of course they want what’s best for us. But what’s best for us is not them developing anger towards a symptom we have.
So I try to stay away from that negative vibe
I went through the same situation. I stopped turning to her to calm me down. I explained anxieties to my son. He calms me down and I discovered he stood by his friends who have it. Turn to those who are understanding. My son has been my best source!!
