GOALS
Iam hoping to conquer …
is feeling OK
Iam 30 years old. I live with my boyfriend of 13 years and my 2 sons age 14 and 10. My bf and I run our own moving company. I have been suffering from anxiety since I was 18. I hate it! I will not take meds becauce I'm scared they will give me bad side effects and I don't want to become addicted. Everytime I get a pain or don't feel well I assume there is something wrong with me and or iam going to die. I would like to talk with others with a similar situation as mine. Since this past Sunday my anxiety attacks have been bad. I wish I didn't have these. Our company is doing great and my family is healthy so I wish these attacks would just stop. My family and friends are supportive but they don't understand anxiety very well and get frustrated with me. My doc is the same she wants me to take meds. Iam at the point now that I might get some because Iam so tired of living this way. I want to enjoy life and be with my boys. This is easier said then done. I get attacks even if Iam not worrying at the time they just come on. I hope one day I will not have these.
Running my company. Being with my family. I love being a Mom. I like swimming and reading and working out.
GOALS
Iam hoping to conquer …
I have been having anxiety issues since I was 18. They are horrible. I try and cope on my own because I'am scared to take medication. i wish I could take them but I'm too scared. My newest symptom I have developed is like a flutter in my heart. Like my heart moves fpr a sec. This is scary as hell I hope it is only anxiety but am starting to convience myself there is something wrong with my heart. Iam going to go to my doctor but she always thinks I'm crazy because i wont take meds.
I have been dealing with anxiety issues for 12 years. I'm scared to take meds because of their side effects and do not want to become addicted. These attacks can be terrible. Looking for others in the same situation.
