I'm *t*his close to cancelling a trip I have planned (leaving tomorrow) because my anxiety is in my head presenting, detailing, justifying and defending against rational thought every worst case scenario possible.1

Me too...and usually I start crying and if I start crying, there is no way I go to the gym that day (( still didn’t learn how to force myself to get over it

Similar to Banner always being angry, I'm always anxious. But unless you hook me up for an EKG, you really can't tell. Upside is, a lie detector would probably be useless - I'd go erratic from the first baseline question.
My list includes talking on the phone, crowds, work, thinking about work, trying to not think about work, introducing myself (which is why I can't remember the other person's name, because I am focused on composure), starting a conversation / networking, eye contact on the street, etc, etc. It's very high-functioning, meaning I can do all of these and more and leverage adrenaline, but when I finally arrive to be alone somewhere I realize how completely worn out I am for it.3 -

Driving...Ever since I got in an accident on the highway I have massive anxiety on the freeway. I have anxiety driving as it is and try to take the back roads. Also the older I get the more anxiety I have around big crowds. I have anxiety around a lot of things.0

Glad to see i'm not the only one with a full blown anxiety disorder, even with my meds it is nearly crippling on top of the depressive disorder, bipolar, and a touch of what my therapist says is resembling asberger's.0

Hey all - does anyone find that their anxiety, while making you anxious about everything, you actually don't differentiate between small things that you shouldn't worry about and big things that you really need to focus on as well as you should?
ie obsessing and worrying over small things makes you give less attention to the bigger things you are still obsessing and worrying over? Thereby missing important things?0 -

Negative meanings: insecurity, ambivalence, cost of inaction or compromising. Dreams about teeth falling indicate times of change and feeling of loss. Teeth falling out are symbols of a costly compromise, lack of balance in your life. Intensity of the emotions in the dream are a reflection of tension felt in life.
Oh
.... Now im anxious i made so many wrong turns in life. 0 -

Thank you I am not alone - so what do we do about it??
I wish I knew. I try to write down the important things that I really can’t forget about the second I think about them/get an email about them/whatever, so that they don’t get lost in the shuffle in my mind, but that’s it. When it comes my my calendar and to-do list, of I don’t write it down, it doesn’t get done.1
