I have always had a bit of a nervous nature. Recently, I've found everything is getting worse.
I feel stressed all the time. I am worried about everything I do and say, and everything I have done and said. I worry about the future; recently I have been shaking when my mind is worrying about things. I've started having nightmares. Last night I was dreaming that somebody was terrorizing women, hanging them by their ankles.
Even if I am watching TV and doing something else, my mind is wandering. I can be reading and realize I've not understood a page of what I have been reading because my mind just will not shut up.
I work a full time job, my husband works 2 jobs to bring in money, I love my kids to death. I feel put on by friends who have all sorts of problems, I spend a lot of time listening to them and their issues, but I don't talk about mine to them as I feel they have enough on their plate.
I have a doctors appointment on Monday. Also makes me feel a bit anxious that they'll make notes on my file and say I am not looking after my children properly.
What is the doctor likely to do? I REALLY want to avoid being on tablets. What can I do to make myself less anxious?
