Does anyone else worry about *everything*?
I hear a plane overhead and I think its going to crash on me...I go for a walk and I think I am going to get attacked...I just got pierced and I am so scared of it getting infected and losing my lip...I always think my house will get broken into... Gah. An endless list. I also have schizophrenia, so that might account for the paranoia.

I tend to only worry in a depressed sort of way in the middle of the night; how I'm getting older and my husband is going to die and I'll be alone and I won't have any friends and I won't be able to take care of my cats and I won't clean or take care of my things and things will start piling up and I'll get sick and I'll have lots of "things" and not know how to get rid of them (boat, RV, cars, the house) and moving to a smaller place will be impossible, on and on. :-)
During the day I can be busy or working on something/interacting with others so "distract" myself enough to keep going. Plus, it's sunny and nice out and I have plenty of Coca Cola in the fridge LOL.

I think I might have had my first panic attack the other day when I was at the internet cafe I was reading about heart attacks, then I started to hyperventilate, then I felt warm and I got up then I felt sick and lost feeling in my arms and head and just fell to the floor . . . I recovered when I lay down for a bit . . .
I usually worry a lot about the future and how I'm almost 30 now and if I deserve to start going back to school to pick myself a new career and if I'm too old to get a new career and If I will get certain illnesses or if my relatives will . . . that kind of thing. |

It was scary to go back to school for me, I'm only taking one class this semester but I am a good 8 or 9 years older than the rest of the class. Next semester I transfer as a junior to a university that I actually had to leave back in '99 because of mental health issues. Thing is, even though part of me is embarrassed, part of me is proud because even though it may be late, I'm doing it. Actually, I found out recently, my pdoc was also 27 when she went back to school. She double majored in chem and bio and then went to med school. My point is, if you want to, go back to school! Make a better life for yourself!!! You can do it!!! And one cool thing... sometimes the professors actually seem to have more respect for you when you are older (at least that's what I've noticed and heard). You get more attention. Good luck and remember... better late than never!!! |

Labyssum, I thought I was the only person to worry about those things you listed (apart from the pieced lip, lol) ... i didn't realise it was anxiety. Doesn't everyone worry about planes crashing and walkers being attacked? Apparently not.
As for your lip, I imagine you'll have received some information on aftercare when you got it pieced, did you? if not there must be loads of information online about it. Some info here about it: http://www.safepiercing.org/oralAftercare.html As for the other stuff, I suppose you've got to wait and hope it doesn't happen
