When do you get anxious?

When I was a student, I got anxious when test results are about to be revealed.
When I was pregnant, I got anxious in my last trimester. Too excited to see my baby.
For the past couple of days, I got anxious because there's no update in my parcel. I am expecting two international parcels and it was supposed to arrive in the country the 20th of August. But no update until yesterday.
Sent emails to the courier and for awhile I got worried it might be missing. Today, however, when I tracked the parcel, it's on its way to me and has arrived in the country the 29th of August.
Now, I have to wait 3 more days till I get it.

I guess I’m more like you. When I was younger, I usually brushed things off, but as I got older, the anxiety grew, and anything could trigger it—from a simple call from work to trying to rest. That’s why I sought help when I realized it was becoming uncontrollable and unmanageable. Now I’m more aware of how it affects me, so I can tell myself to calm down and prevent it from taking over my life. I still have triggers, but I can anticipate them long before they get worse.

@toniganzon At first, I was hesitant and determined to manage it on my own, but as it got worse over time, I decided to get help from someone who could guide me. It was worth it because I was able to save myself from self-destruction with the support of someone skilled in helping people with anxiety disorders. I’m not ashamed of having it, since I believe everyone experiences it at different levels—you just need to identify the triggers and be ready to manage them.

@rsa101 You should never be ashamed when you are going through something like that. It's important to acknowledge it and seek help.

I get anxiety all the time. For no reason. Sometimes it lasts all day.

@toniganzon - Yes, I have meds for it. But they knock me out, which might be the point. So if I don't feel like zonking out, I don't take them and I just ride it out, knowing it will eventually go away.

Is it because of what you might hear? Or are you are just nervous about doctors in general?

@toniganzon I got really comfortable for years because I was in and out of the hospital, procedure after procedure. It didn’t bother me. Then, I got one very cruel doctor, and even though I never went back, it stayed with me. Ever since, I always get anxious.

I had been anxious about a package too. I also have been anxious about having to take the cats to the vet which is this week.

@toniganzon I thought we were taking two of the cats to the vet, but we ended up taking just one because other cat wouldn't go into the carrier. I bought some new carriers. So Lily went to the vet, and she is good health. And the vet gave her something for the weird noises she had been making.

i'm glad the parcel issue is resolved. i agree, test results when we were younger and when we got older, it's with everyday things that get complicated. i am anxious the most when i need to travel somewhere cause, i can't walk to long distances but being stuck in a cube with strangers in a public transport, ah, i don't like it.
like in a kdrama, i wish someone to save me
