In my last blog I mentioned that my fears have been targeted to what if I get _____________ (insert health issue). I do believe that this is an OCD issue as many members commented on. I also want to state that for about 12 years I have been dealing with anxiety. I have had all the fun sensations and symptoms that my wonderful friend anxiety has had to offer. About a year into dealing with anxiety I had my first panic attack which was more like knocking at deaths door at least it felt that way. From there on I have had about 6 total panic attacks since. I have learned to cut them off ahead of time so in a sense I have made some progress in my journey. Now I am faced everyday with relentless tension and fear. My body is like a severed nerve so sensitive to anything that may appear threatening. The anxiety is so frustrating because it is so generalized that it is always hard to really pinpoint specifics. I know life should not be like this. I am glad that there is a place like anxiety tribe it is comforting to know that I am not the only one dealing with this. Thanks for reading!
