This is my first post ever on Mumsnet as new to joining you...As title implies I am worlds worst worrier and only got worse since son was born eleven months ago. I have been like this all my life. Tried the lot, counselling, hypnotherapy, exercise, diet, ADs.
My worries tend to be 'catastrophising' ie imagining the worst ever thing happening which can make others a) laugh or b) dismiss my thoughts as 'stupid' and 'daft' but is far from funny to me as I am living in this 'worst case scenario' scene such a lot of the time.
I am on a type of AD (mild dose) at mo which is supposed to help and is a bit. My Doctor is supportive and I am lucky but I don't want to waste his time as I know people have real physical illnesses and I am on the surface very lucky indeed. Apart from the anxiety I have a great life and nothing to complain about.
I really want to conquer this somehow as I want to be the best possible example to my son who I love so much, the best thing that ever happened - sure you can all relate to this. I hope I have explained how I feel. I am asking has anyone got some new way of tackling anxiety that really works, ideally
something natural. Also interested in talking to anyone who relates to this post, thanks.
