anxiety - almost constant

[binker]

I wonder whether anyone else worries almost constantly about things - I seem to have a train of worries processing through my head at any one time - they range from practical worries about work/finances to silly domestic anxieties - for example : what ifs - what if the washing machine breaks down, shower packs up, plumbing disasters etc etc - these make me feel knotted up inside. Have had lots of therapy oin the distant past and hypnotherapy more recently, but I'm still obsessing about things that might happen. Exhausting !

anyone there ?

Hi there. Didn't want to read and run as I have just put a message on about how I feel at the moment. I feel exactly the same as you but in a different way, I worry more about my relationship. My OH is away all week so I am constantly worrying about the what ifs with him being away, really stupid as I trust him 100%. It has got so bad now I just don't know what to do. DD is 9 months old and the first few months were a struggle and I feel back to that point again. Doc did prescribe antidepressants but I didn't take them and I don't want to go back as I really feel I can't talk to him. You said you have had theropy? What kind and did it help much? Im wondering if I need to do something like that.

It was a mixture of psychotherapy and analysis but a very long time ago - this is more of a recent anxiety thing...I do think therapy can help and hypnotherapy too - excellent for relaxing. I suspect I'm really masking deeper worries by concentrating on the domestic side of things ! Hope you can find some respite from your anxieties - perhaps try another doctor ?
