Anxiety Im Not Sure If That Is the Problem Please Read Posted: 08-18-06 14:33pm
I have been told that I have anxiety. Im
always busy, I take care of my father and
my mother, as well as being a full time
mother( whose dad is not wanting to be
around) and have a full time job. By the
end of the day all I want to do is sit
down and cry, I just feel like im not
doing something right. And that im always
scared that something is going to happen
and I wont be there to help. When I get
to sleep, I sleep maybe about three hours,
and im awake again. Laying in bed
worrying about everything.
I dont have insurance so I cant afford to
see a dr, does anyone know of a home
remedy that would help.
I just started worrying about my children
scared that im going to die and what will
happen to them if I did. I dont know if
its premenopause, because a week before I
due to have one is the worst.
I just some ideas on how to help my body.

Wow. I am also a mother of three and I
work full time. I know how you feel about
sitting and wanting to cry at the end of
the day (which is usually late at night.)
you look for someone to talk to, and no
one seems to be there.
You need to get health insurance. Just
this one thing, I feel, would do wonders
for you in helping you not to worry. When
my oldest 2 children were young, I was on
state medicaid. See if your town has this
available. It is usually through the
department of health or equivalent. You
may also find information about this at
your childs' school (if they are young).
Setting your concerns for your health and
your childrens health will be a tremendous
burden off of you, and hopefully will
allow you to tackle other issues
afterwards.
My best to you

You're body is most likely exhausted and
you have so many people relying on you,
that you are fearing the worst: that you
may not be there for them when they need
you. Here is my advice for the interim,
and I am not a doctor or anything, but
this worked for me to an extent. I know
you've heard this before probably, eat
more healthy foods (vegetables, fruits,
lean meat, etc.) slow down with the
caffiene at night, if you drink it. And
try taking a multivitamin every day.

Hi there. Im a mother of 3 and work full
time myself so I can totally relate to
you!! My suggestion to you is this...See
if your state offers some kind of free
medical. (in california its medi-cal as
an example) many years ago I was on it
because I wasnt working due to health
problems and had no coverage and it worked
for me. My other suggestion if you can't
afford meds, etc is to see if you can
afford valerian root. Its natural and
will help relax you. Now adays, they say
that taking kava kava (which has nearly
the same effect) is not good for you so I
would stay away from that. As the other
nice person said (sorry cant remember your
name:( limit soda's and coffee's later at
night so it doesnt keep you up. Try a
hot bath before bed also, that is very
relaxing. And if your kids are old
enough, see if they will rub your
feet/back to relax you. Good luck hon
and you are not alone! Take care.
