Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a Christian, and study the word when anxious, go to certain verses, etc...but if at all possible, I would like some advice from some of you. Strangely enough, if i have the typical bug/cold/flu etc...I get so anxious that something worse is going to happen, i cant relax, and the stress is unreal. I have ocd and was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It seems lately I have been going through this often. I have gotten a little bug a couple times this winter, and now my sinuses are acting up with a sensetive ear. Well the doc perscribed a z pak to fight it(didnt go to the docs, he was kind enough to call it in, being it was late friday)...none the less i am just full of worry. If you read my signature you would laugh that i get like this, but i have been petrified of going to the docs for over 10 years. It is really hard on me and wears me down, and makes me very stressed, anxious, etc...I have suffered with panic attacks before as well. I just have to wonder what the underlying theme is..for example am i really so bothered and worrisome because i read about the absolute worst case scenario of an ear infection that happens in children, or is it something underlying...It seems this winter, that i am almost waiting for something to happen to make me worry. I know all the verses about not worrying, anxiety, etc...and i try to adhere to them...but it just defeats me. Im on paxil, and it does work, but I still get like this...and i dont think its because i have missed a day of taking the meds. Can someone relate to this? Can anyone give me any advice that would help me? Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
