I’ve been so anxious and idk maybe paranoid the last few weeks.

A few examples: church Easter Sunday and I get this panic and anxiety about someone coming in with a gun and thinking about protecting my babies (5 and 3)

We were out to dinner last month and I got the same feeling but I think I almost put myself into a panic attack, tight chest, couldn’t breathe, sweating, upset stomach, straight dreadful feeling...

Or with all the terrible stuff in the news about kids being abducted and kidnapped or hurt. I get so upset thinking about my babies being hurt or me not being able to protecting them. I push it out of my head but sometimes it consumes me.

I literally could become a hermit and never go out but I know that’s not healthy and have to force myself to go out sometimes.

I’m a religious person so I normally just say a prayer when I feel this down, anxious feeling but some nights (like tonight) I can’t shut my brain off and get some sleep.

I’ve been to counseling a few years back dealing with my ocd and anxiety...

My husband is normally really supportive and understanding but I think he’s starting to get sick of me coming to him for comfort or words of encouragement.

Does anyone else have these type of days?
