I have always been made to feel so stupid about having anxiety. I am so worried my kids will have anxiety as well and fear they have already begun to exhibit symptoms....stomach aches, etc.
If I am feeling bad, I try to keep my children from realizing it until it's too late and I have to call on family/friends to occupy my 11 year old until the episode is over. This week has been terrible. My daughter has picked up on the fact that something is wrong and she is demanding answers. She is worrying. I keep telling her everything is ok, but when I come home wearing a holter monitor that answer wasn't acceptable. How can I convince her everything is ok when I am not sure myself? I know my anxiety stems from the plethora of health problems I observed with family members beginning at a very young age.
I am a Christian and I'm trying to leave it all in Gods hands but when the panic takes over its difficult. All I can do is pray for good results to come back from all the tests they've done.
On the upside of things....I've quit smoking. 5 days cig free. But given the fact it seriously effects with serotonin level, I'm wondering if that was such a great Idea right now as I sit with my scalp crawling. :(
