to think a lot of anxious people feel this way?

[dreamedout]

I suffer from anxiety. I'm starting medication so aware that in the early days it can get worse before it gets better.

I'm constantly worried to the point that I don't enjoy anything. I worry about my parents dying, my son growing up too fast, if I'll be able to cope when I stop breastfeeding as I love it so much, getting older even though I'm only 28, etc etc. They're all things that I'm sure people worry about on a normal level, but my mind is consumed by these thoughts and I'm not enjoying my life as a result.

Does anyone else feel like this? I want to be better.

Yes. I even get anxious walking the dog because I'm in my bad days, I worry about having to have conversation with dog walkers. It's sad. I'm on medication but it's early days until I will know the difference.
