I am not a very good speller so please just bear with me,Anyway whenever I get really anxious I get very bad anticipatory anxieties ,like for the past two days I have been anxious because I am worried whether or not my money will be in my bank account,maybe that sound silly but I also get that way when I have to go to my doctors ,actually come to think of it I have them most of the time,I am always worried something bad is going to happen,Does anyone else have these kinds of feelings?If so how do you cope??

hi xmascarol. I do worry about things and I have to sort things out. Like with money I try to have enough ahead that I am not living month to month. Even if I have to spend less, having that cushion really helps.

So for me there are the things I can do something about like the money. And then there are the things that I cannot do anything about so I try to accept that fact and not worry.

Yes! I definitely do this! (In every area of life)
I’m working on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Thank you both,it is like a everyday thing for me,even sometimes when someone snaps at me I think it is my fault why do we have to feel this way?.I work on making things ,if I can concentrate on that it does help .

In CBT this is falls into a few Thinking Styles, namely: Catastrophic Thinking, Fortune Telling, and Discounting the Positive. You should be able to find information and even some worksheets online.

I can relate. One reason is I don't feel I deserve good things happening to me. Is this at all familiar? So I am trying to work on my self-worth. And, I have noticed at the times my sense of worth is stronger, my 'anticipatory' anxiety is significantly reduced.

I have these quite a bit. It's important for me to do something to counter the thoughts and let go of them. I know they don't help me. Worry doesn't help me. It just makes me ill.

Mindfulness helps. So does self-soothing to an extent. Something that brings me into the present moment.

I get so sick with worry right now I am going through h .Every single day my legs feel like have pins and needles and I have been shaking so bad I can hardly walk.I am so afraid of having another bad fall.I had one years ago and it wasnt pretty,so naturally I worry every single time I get up.I do exercise my legs so they dont become weak,but lately it is just plain awful.The other day I was shaking so bad I think it is because I am dehydrated ,but even so I have restless leg syndrome to and it feels like it is traveling up to my arms,Does anyone else have restless leg too?I am on requipt but like I keep telling my doctors it doesn't work.I am so tired of feeling like this,i try to keep busy matter I have a friend who comes and sits with me about three times a week she is such a beautiful person but there are times when she has snapped at me and I feel like crawling in a hole,then of course I wonder what did I do wrong. I just want to be normal which I hardly doubt that will ever happen,part of my anxieties I know is because I am missing my mom she passed away about six weeks ago ,and I miss her so much,even though she did not get my anxieties or depression oh yes I have bipolar and a mood disorder too,,

I am so sorry for your loss. Perhaps talking to a counselor would help, and a prescription to calm you. In time you will feel better, but right now could use some outside help.
