sometimes I can't stop worrying about
stuff, and I'll freak out and cry and get
really frustrated about some stupid little
thing when I don't know what's going on or
I feel like I have no control of the
situation. I'll get really restless and
I'll pace back and fourth, or shake my
foot, or play with something obsessively
and people are like "what are you doing?"
I keep myself awake at night with what-ifs
and other such worries...
Is that anxiety or am I just a weirdo?

Seems like you an introvert person! it
does happen and its a temporary condition,
not a life time. You can judge it yourself
by talkin gto people, friends or family.
Do you enjoy that moment? if yes then it
means u r exerting too much on yr self.
Stop thinking too much, the history is
gone, the future in un-known, just care
for the Present! if yr present is good, yr
future would be good as well.
Thank you

Alex, Do I see a sense of humor coming out
here? You are too funny. I was up earlier
and went back down with my doggie for a
nap.
Yes, from everything you have posted, it
does sound like you may be having some
pretty good anxiety moments. Now, the
first thing you have to do is find out
what is "Triggering" them. Once you have
found some "Tiggers" then focus on whether
or not you have any control over them. If
you do, then change them in anyway you
can. In other words stay away from places,
people and things that might set you off.
During an attack (especially at home in
the evening) try some yoga with some nice
New Age music. Find a safe place for
yourself where no one else will bother
you. Let yourself relax into a state of
clear mind. Then go somewhere in your mind
that is relaxing to you. With me I love
the forest the most then the beach
listening to the waves. There are many
meditation CDs out there with verious
kinds of soothing music.
Most important thought is to find those
"Triggers" and that is where you will
start to work on your problem. If in time
this does not work for you, then it is
time to maybe seek a doctor an talk about
medication to help you along the anxiety
road.
I suffer from the same exact anxiety
symptoms. I worry about everything and a
night if not for my meds I would also
worry about the "What if's".
Think about the things that you are
worrying about and if they are changable.
If not, you going to have to work really
hard knowing that these are things you can
not change and are either going to have to
be strong and deal with them or walk away
from them.
I wish you the best of luck and let me
know how you make out.
