Hi I'm new and hate anxiety

[Bloss3]

Hi I'm bloss just signed up not long ago wish I knew about this place sooner.
I have anxiety mostly its health anxiety feeling like all the pains I get are something serious I know there not but I can't help it sometimes. Some days I can talk myself down.
Becoming my mums full time carer after her stroke set it off, when she's sick that also makes it bad.
My husband is great but I hate to worry him so much, I find it hard when he's at work and I'm alone.
I took 2 years off work to try to get my life back on track didn't work am now looking at going back to work I need the distraction, I'm looking for a new shrink as we've just moved I'm not taking any medication at this point, distraction is my best tactic right now.
So Hi to everyone

Hi Bloss3,
Im new here also. Being a carer would be difficult and i can see how that would make your anxiety worse, especially when it is someone close to you.
What sort of work were you doing before you became your mums carer?

Hi CM and welcome too.
yeah being mums carer was so scary with all the meds I had to give her but it was rewarding helping her recover.
I use to work in hospitality and retail
I'm finding this site is very helpful makes you feel like your not alone even at all hours of the night.
