ANXIETY makes me feel SO scared.

Hello Fontana and welcome.

I am so sorry to read that you are struggling today. Know that our thoughts and prayers are going out to you now.

Considering the fact that you just recently had a significant treatment...

I don't see taking a break as giving in the fear...

...as much as pacing yourself during your recovery.

We're you given parameters by your P-doc as far as how much you should be doing...or how many hours you should be working?

Maybe this is just a case of too much too soon?

How about your coping skills? Are you able to put them to use? If not...you could be exhausted...and simply need rest.

I encourage you to be gentle with YOU...and do what is best for your overall health.

know you are supported here...and post with us anytime.:)

Scaredy Cat

I have days like that too where I am just scared out of my mind. I get scared my dog will die, or that I will have such a bad panic attack I'll just fall over on the floor and have a seizure, or that I'll go crazy and hurt myself and have to be locked in a mental hospital. All very scary and very real feeling. The thing I have to focus on is that those are "what-ifs". They are not reality, at least not right now. They are completely illogical. It's fear of something abstract. I believe if the physical feelings weren't there, it would be easy to dismiss in your mind. I like to go for a walk or a drive to calm down. Hang in there. Be mindful.
