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

Hi Worry! Posted: 10-12-07 16:35pm
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.
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.
