Stress Management
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2017 8:27 pm
Hello,
I have always been someone that deals with anxiety and it literally stops me from doing everyday tasks because of how bad my attacks are. In my current journey of being diagnosed and than thinking its a misdiagnosis and than being diagnosed for sure I have become a person with severe anxiety. I am only 23 years old and not married or in a relationship and I've always hated the unknown. I dont know how to deal with the possibilities of this disease and what a future could look like for me? will I find someone? will I be too sick to raise kids or even have kids? Is it even fair bringing kids into the world in my situation. I tend to not talk about things with my family and friends because it will only break my moms heart more and cause my friends to feel pity for me which I dont want. So going back to my topic ( I ramble a lot as you can see) I was wondering if there is anything any of you did to overcame anxiety and stress? like go to a specific class such as boxing or meditation or something. I tried reading a few books about the disease and a few about general stress and they just made things worse. My "official" diagnosis was only about three months ago but every time I hear about ms or remember it it brings on another anxiety attack.
