I'm swirling with anxiety about dating, money, work, family,parenting. I'm trying not to obsess about where a new relationship is heading, or of it is already done and he's just withdrawing. It has potential but now I don't know what's happening if anything, maybe it's all in my mind.
I have some moments of strength but mostly it's a fight.
How do you get through the day?Right now I can't wait to take my sleeping pill and go to bed! Sometimes that doesn't even quiet my mind.

Hi Heather!
You have been given some great guidance by some awesome members here and I agree with them.
I had talk therapy and that really helped me alot. I also read alot about anxiety and depression and did my best to understand my responses to certain situations in order to better cope with them.
I was on meds for a few months, but ultimately I realized I had to do something else.
I can feel my anxiety rise and I immediatley start working on my coping skills and usually find my favorite music to listen to....music always helps me!
To be honest, I think I will fight this the rest of my life. It's when I least expect it that it hits. I am hoping the anxiety will go away completely in the next few months but who knows for sure.
Hope I was of some assistance.
Good luck Heather and welcome to the PC family!
