    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
