It talked about having (irrational)? fears like homelessness, being institutionalized, and dying....   I very much relate..     Mine start out pretty mild when the... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/106115/thoughts-anxiety http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/105943/anxiety Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:24:48 -0500 Marishka Hi all again,   Oh, I forgot then there is the anxiety thoughts on when will I be able to work again if I have such bad anxiety and this thought makes me anxious...   have to learn to change my thought patterns,   Marishka http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/105943/anxiety http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/105942/anxiety-thoughts Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:22:41 -0500 Marishka Hi all,   I am having anxiety thoughts again...trying to deal with them.   I am needing help financially from my father.  He can help me.  It won't hurt him.  I don't think I need to worry about that.  He would not do it if it hurt him.

And the anxiety is just horrid.   One step at a time, I know..but it just seems to be putting unbearable pressure on me, all I have to deal with.   I need support groups in my community and am having a difficult time finding them!  I have... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/105204/anxiety-panic http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/101199/calm-tonight Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:01:03 -0500 Marishka Hi all,   I am going to take my friend who has severe back pain to the ER. I hate hospitals and ER rooms so much!  But my friend is in pain and I need to go help her...  I am praying we both stay calm there and no one has any anxiety attacks!  It is rainy tonight which does not help for sure....well, I am off...only a 15 minute drive to her house and then 15 minutes to the hospital, then parking and such...I am praying for... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/313928/101199/calm-tonight
