i excessively worry....little things that other people wouldnt bother getting upset with, i freak out about. today i had an issue with my college books and started texting 5 different people freaking out and hoping they could help me or give me reassurance itd be okay...and i couldnt even focus because i was worrying so much. i so sat through 4 classes today worrying and not paying attention to the class. my worrying is very excessive...and i wish it would stop, medication isnt an option because my mother wont allow me. i just hate worrying so much
 I dont have a diagnosis as of yet, but i was wondering if anyone here worried alot and if so, whats ur diagnosis? i would love to know im not alone with this

Hi Sarah, I used to worry a lot. It had to do with anxiety. With anxiety you think that everything has to be a certain way or disaster will befall you. Of course it isn't true. The trick is convincing yourself of this. We get this way from growing up not feeling secure. We stop when we can shed these feelings of insecurity and build a secure life, mind and secure feelings.

no, dear sarah
 , you are not alone. i've gotten over some of my worrying cause it won't change the outcome. now that is logical but there are times i can't stop worrying for the life of me. my therapist told me my mind has been "rewarded" (or so i thought) when i worried so it's the first place i want to go. but remember that the mental energy spent and the distractive thoughts are the only actual result you will get from the worrying. it will not change whatever you're worrying about.i'm sorry you are feeling this way. i'm glad you posted too. as for any diagnosis it's not for me to say...however i am bipolar and have OCD tendancies. this of course doesn't mean this is what you have. have you ever thought about why you are worrying so much? do you feel safe? do you feel something bad is going to happen to you? do you feel if you don't worry then bad things will happen? if you think about your answers to these questions it may enlighten you to what's going on. daily exercise-work outs-jogging, etc. may help your anxiety level and enable you to not worry while you are exercising. it will give your mind a mental rest. i'm almost sure you feel like your mind is exhausted if you're like i am when i worry too much. i hope this helps and enables you to get some answers. i'm sure others may have even better ideas than me. we care about you.

thanks guys. yeah i worry cause i am a good ol pessimist and always expect the worse, so when a issue comes up...i worry about the worst possible thing happening...usually i am wrong..its the times i dont worry that get me in trouble...ive been told plently of times that i worry too much. my coach has known me for 5 months and already knows i worry too much. my parents have recently found out when i told them thats why my T said. i guess they never saw it. but yeah, its something id love to get over because it does take alot of energy out of me....tyy

Hello Sarah!!
I'm reminded of this saying: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?"  Isn't that the truth! Holmes |
