Paralysing anxiety, feel so sad all the time

[CocktailQueen]

I am so fed up with feeling like this. I have spent the last month terrified that one if the dc is going to vomit. No real reason for it apart from sick bugs going round both dd's classes. I think about it every day, it makes me so anxious I can't relax. Have tried cbt but it's not working.

I feel so tense and can't relax. I feel so sad and am on the verge of tears all the time. I don't want to pass on my stupid fears to the dc. Help me. What can I do to help myself?? This vomit phobia has got worse and worse over the last few years, and I'm anxious about bloody everything.

Help.

Hmm I was just about to post something with a similar title. Not that I am experiencing the same thing, except for feeling paralysed with anxiety. I don't know what to suggest apart from going to GP, which is what I suppose I need to do too...

I hope someone comes along with something more helpful, and that you can do something to overcome it

Thanks, 3xm. Think I will have to ring the gp on Monday. Sorry you are feeling so anxious. Xxx

Thank you. I just can't seem to make a decision about anything, even really straightforward boring household things. It all just gets on top of me.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to have a phobia of something which is quite so unavoidable. I'm not surprised you are feeling anxious about it. Good luck with the gp on Monday x I want to go and see mine but am worried about being 'in the system' if you know what I mean.
