Do you worry a lot?

I worry about everything

I am constantly worrying even over simple things that most people don’t worry about.

It’s getting to be a problem and it’s really annoying my brother and father.

My psychiatrist says it’s part of my OCD and anxiety.

All I know is that it gets in my way of functioning day to day.

There are no medications to treat these symptoms other than antidepressants which I can’t take because of mania.

I worried for a while after my dad had a stroke last year. I worried this year when he had mental health problems because of his stroke until he got medication that helped him.

I worry when my dad and stepmom talk about finances. I heard my stepmom telling my dad that her paycheck doesn’t cover some expense.

I worry a lot. Mostly about the future. I have a slight bit of catastrophic thinking.

I worry about everything. I know it just makes my life miserable but I can’t stop. I get these thoughts in my head that worry me. And I can’t shake them off. When one worrying thought goes away, I get a new one.

I’m in a constant state of being on the brink of panic because I worry so much.

If there’s nothing to worry about I’ll start checking my dogs for lumps and injuries.

Worry about it even if I don’t find anything.

It’s a serious problem in my life and I’m already on what I would call a lot of benzos (2mg klonopin daily).

Not on any meds for it. But L-theanine helps. I used to be a lot worse before I started taking that.

I’m on a couple of ap’s and a antidepressant, and adhd meds but thst doesn’t help at all. I’ve been a worryer all my life, as a kid (under 10 yrs old) I was super worried about the destruction of rain forests and holes in the ozone layer. And aliens and god and I was very afraid of many things.

Once when I was walking home I heard a sound like bombs… I got so afraid I ran home and opened my tv because I was certain aliens had landed and they were trying to take over earth… well tv said nothing and I figured out I was over reacting and worried and afraid of stupid things and felt really ashamed of myself. I realise now this might have been semi psychotic behavior.

I believe I’m this way because I had somewhat unsafe childhood. I have to work really hard to make the worrying thoughts stop and it doesn’t really work, it’s nearly impossible to get away from the worrying thoughts. But I still try.

I worry, get anxious, and then the intrusive thoughts really start acting up. It’s a vicious cycle.
