Hi

After reading several posts and comments on this page, I decided to write one myself. It is hard for me to do this, because my emotions are all mixed up at the moment. So please bear with me.

Every since I was little, I've been worrying about everything. I I've always figured that this was normal and that I was just a nervous child. But lately it's been getting worse, and now I find it hard to act rationally and think straight. Every minute of every day I feel stressed out and I worry over nothing. I have not slept more than three hours a night for almost six months. I lay in bed, thinking about all the horrible things that might happen to myself or someone close to me, and things I used to enjoy only stress me out these days. I stress over the future and everything I have yet to experience. On top of all that, my hands are cold and clammy, and my heart is racing. It all just feels like someone just scared the life out of me.

I am thinking about calling my doctor on monday, because I am not diagnosed with anxiety or any other mental disorder, and I think it would be nice to find out what is going on with my body. What do you think? I this something I should take seriously?

Thank you so much for reading this, it really means a lot to me.

Rosen, it sounds to me like your anxious and need to be reassured it's just that. Making an appt. with your doc would your best first step. It's the day I started to understand and get treatment for my anxiety. PM me any time. Alankay
