New guy

[S.P.B]

Hi all,

Thought I would introduce myself my name is Si, I have suffered with anxiety for the past 8-9 years sometimes its ok sometimes its unbearable my last major break down was about 4 years ago since then its been on and off, I always worry about health and at the moment I am feeling bad, worse I have felt in the last 4 years. I am finding it difficult to cope and dont really feel I have anyone that really understands the docs palm me off and I feel like I am annoying my wife by going on about it. I can see that a lot of threads here I can relate to.

Hey :) we have an 8 month old daughter, I was really worried about her being born but everything was fine :) although now we have her it makes me worry if my anxiety comes back and its as crippling as it was before and I have to be strong for her sake so really I am worrying about worrying which when I say it like that seems ridiculous. I am sure evrything will be fine for you congratulations by the way exciting times :D

Hi, I know how your feel. I have a six month old son and I worried the whole time I was pregnant. I was afraid anytime I didn't feel him move for a while. I was scared to death about giving birth but everything turned out fine even though he was 2 and a half weeks late and they had to break my water, I was still able to have a natural water birth and he is perfectly healthy and is now in the 90 % in height and 75 % in weight. I know worrying and being anxious didn't do me any good. It never does. But I just can't stop it. I am now worried constantly about him choking on something, now that he's able to crawl. I am obsessed with checking the floor and vacuuming, sweeping and mopping.
