Daily "Drop Off Your Anxious Thought"

I worry that everyone I know is secretly mad at me because I don't do things the "right" way.

I looked at your profile, what is avoidant personality disorder. I avoid everything.

And I don't Think there is a 'right' way. Unless it is an exam question and then you would probably get bonus marks for defending a different view.

I worry that I will never have a job that I like, or have the energy to make opportunities for myself, and that my husband will get sick of me.

I am having a pretty good day so far and I'd like to keep it that way, so I am leaving all my fears of the future here. I need to focus solely on today and making it the best it can be. I need to stop borrowing trouble from tomorrow!

Thinking about all of you here and wishing you the best for today!

Elana05, saying a prayer for a resolution to this big worry of yours. I know just how you feel. If it were possible I would hand you a beautiful bouquet of peonies as well. Hang in there, the only way out is through it, no exits or going around it.

Really glad you're having a good day! (((((SL)))) It's so good to read that!

Thanks for reminding us to focus on this moment and let tomorrow take care of itself!

Dropping off my dread of an email I have to send to my lawyer and a phone call I have to make to my mortgage company tomorrow. I'll pick these worries up in the morning when I have to deal with them.

I'm going to drop off my agoraphobic "I'm scared to leave my room today" fear and I'll pick it up after my doctor's visit when I can see that I've gone out anyway and nothing bad happened...

I am dropping off my fears that my husband is going to leave me...My fear is that he is just waitng until I am "strong enough" to handle it. I also am leaving the needs I have to get him to get help for his depression. He has to make the choice and apparently he is back to denying that he has depression....I am working really hard to not say anything to him about it though, because it is an area that causes tension between us and it ends up just pushing him away.

I think that I mostly just have such an active imagination that I take simple things and turn them into a major tragedy.

At least I pray that it is just my imagination....anyway it is all staying here for now.

I am afraid that I will be attacked if I do my filing. So the files have been on the floor for about a month. I will be attacked, in court. But the filing isn't going to attack me. But I am terrified anyways.

And I am afraid that I'm getting worse so not only will the current things not get done but more and more won't get done.

I am working and want to leave my anxiety regarding tonight severe weather threat. I hope the weather stays somewhat mild in my particular area. And I hope anything severe happens before my co-worker leaves at 8pm....I don't want to deal with it by myself!!!!!

That I have run out of hope.

I fear that I'll always be alone and poor, unsuccessful in work and love.

I am feeling very frustrated and anxious about my annual physical this coming week. I want to know what is going on with my body and if I am beginning menopause, but I can't quite put the fear that it is something much more serious out of my head.

I am still "kind of on the young side" for menopause according to my doctor about 6 weeks ago when I asked about it when I went for a sinus infection...He said he'd do labs at my physical. I just pray it is nothing serious!

First five anxious thoughts that come to mind (and I really do want to do my best to leave all five right here till the morning at least)

1. that I will never get better (be able to take care of my children or go back to work)
2. that we will be poor for the rest of our lives (husband is a student; bills are soaring)
3. that my children will/do suffer because of my emotional baggage

Okay so maybe there's only three tonight. It felt like a whole lot more than that.

Anxiety can really do that to you. It can do the "ole turning a molehill into a mountain" thing....

And as far as your kids....Mine are 12, 16, and 19 and I've had my issues for probably 25+ years and I still think they have turned into awesome young men! I'm not by any means saying they are perfect, but they are good kids and I think even though I spent way to manys years of their lives being depressed, they still knew I loved them and my husband and I still managed to teach them to integrity, truth, and trust...

Just love them all you can and teach them right from wrong and "take care of yourself first" in order to take care of them your best. A lesson I am again reminding myself of on my rollarcoaster life...

Thank you!

For telling me your children are turning out fine.
And reminding me to take care of myself.

Thank you.

That the horrible dream I had last night will come true

That my depression will come back.

I feel OK today, but I am trying to stay busy on here reading about others so I am in all reality avoiding my own issues, but I guess as long as I am doing so, and I am not feeling that my anxiety is over whelming me, I should be happy.

I just feel a little lonely inside right now, and I wish so desperately that I could go home when I get off work in a couple hours and just get a long comforting hug from my husband... but he is not in a touching kind of place and I haven't touched him without him flinching away in a couple months, except a couple a sneak touches in the middle of the night while he is asleep.

I wish he would seek some help like I am so that we could begin to connect again... He is so in denial of his depression, but I am just keeping quiet now, so I don't push him any further away....

I am worried not about if I will lose my mind completely, but when I'll lose it completely. I am worried about my son and his horrendous undiagnosed mental illness. I am worried that we are going to make headlines soon, and not in a positive way. I am not worried that no-one is going to believe this. I don't believe it myself.

That I won't be strong enough to get through this period.

I'm scared of my neighbor!

I'm feeling sick again

That I will be overwhelmed by...something.
