Getting Help But Still Woried About Anxiety
Posted: 10-12-07 15:54pm

I have just recently started going to a therapist who specializes in anxiety but i am still afraid that it is something else. I keep thinking its a nervous disoder and i am going to die young. If you have an anxiety disorder tell me if have you felt the same way please tell me the truth.

This would help me a lot Laughing Razz Very

Hi Worry!

Ease up on yourself my dear. Yes, we all go through this as I do too. Believe it or not, it is not the anxiety that I am worried about killing me. It is what is causing my anxiety that I am afraid of.
For intance, I have had severe asthma since age 5 and not have COPD. When my chest starts hurting or I'm having some trouble breathing, that is what I am afraid will kill me. Now for someone with a major anxiety disorder, that can cause other problems to arise like chest pain, shakiness, confusion etc. I had alot of that before I started on my medication.
Now I have such a phobia about my health, I go into a panic attack if I have one ache.
I like those smiles at the end of your post. You must be feeling a little bit better eh?

Hugs,
Carrie

I can totally relate. Ask your therapist about CBT it is amazing in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

I don't suffer from that kind of anxiety but from what I've read (on here and in research) that's pretty normal to feel. Smile

You will get better!! Just keep pushing for good treatment (cbt really is good if you can find someone who does that)

Cbt is really good and I would recommend that type of therapy.
