writing my thoughts..

first time...thought I give it a shot. I have been dealing with my anxiety for about 6 months now. It all started after I suffered a miscarriage that was followed by a removal of my right ovary. That really damaged me and took me over the edge. When I came home from the hospital I started to feel anxious, I was listening to my body way more than I should and I was feeling on edge. I didn't understand these feelings and it started to scare me more and more as the days past. I was even afraid to take a walk outside or even drive. I associate myself with every little thing I see or hear on the television. I worry about having a heart attack or a stroke. Some days I listen to my body so much that I actually start to feel symptoms that made me even more anxious. I'm fearful of all the "what if's" and especially mortality. My anxiety slowly started affeting my life and my family. I am no longer the same person I used to be. The bubbly and carefree person who loves to laugh and enjoy her family and friends. So I have decided to start this blog in hopes that I can reach out, learn from others who are dealing with the same thing and release some of my stress/thoughts on this blog. I'm ready to take care of myself and face my anxiety and fears. I want my life back. I want to enjoy everything the lord gave us...

  1. I have been dealing with anxiety for many years now and have been on and off a lot of different anti-depressants for it. Right now i'm on prozac but I have been having a bad couple months. In the car I am listending to The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and I am really enjoying it and think that is helping me a lot by realizing that we are not our thoughts and that we can't let our mind control us with these thoughts..we have to control it.
