Worried, anxious exhausted
Hi, I am a mom of four boys with little to no help from the husband. I have been suffering from what I now think is anxiety. After my fourth son was born I started feeling really anxious and it has now developed into a fight everyday against my thoughts. I have myself convinced everyday that I have a serious disease. Whatever ache or pain I'm feeling at the moment I convince myself that it's horrible and serious. My teeth are bad right now and are in need of attention. I am struggling now with feeling as if I have a brain or blood infection from my teeth. I feel so overwhelmed with these feelings. I afraid of leaving my boys behind. I obsess over every single pain these days. This has got to stop. Please help!
Thanks for your comment! It is a good
Idea to write things down. I'm going to try that today. My husband is little to no help. He works I stay home with the boys so I have it easy in his eyes and therefore I should do everything here. He comes homes turns on the tv and sits till he goes to bed. All the While I am making dinner, cleaning up dinner, bathing kids, putting them to bed, helping older one with homework. When I try to tell him how I'm feeling he rolls his eyes and tells me not to think about it. And that I am turning into my mother. I have no one to talk to about this and can't afford a therapist so thanks for listening. Everyone that knows us thinks we have a perfect family,marriage and so on but that's just not the case on the inside. My husband was unfaithful a couple years ago and we we t through a really rough patch but things got better and now he is comfortable again and starting to not help and speak to me rude. Ughhh guess that's enough complaining for today. Thanks again for your reply

Hi,
Well, let's pick apart your anxiety. You are worried about your teeth. That means you must get to a dentist to have them checked and evaluated. Once that is done, your dental anxiety should lessen. Then you can go about doing the same with any other feelings that bother you.
Exhaustion can make anyone feel sicker and become very weary. THAT can make your imagination go haywire. Just take each problem on an individual basis. That will make them easier to handle. Try writing them all down in order of what bothers you most and then take care of each one in order and solve it.
Please don't worry about a brain infection. There is NO question if that were to happen. You would be TERRIBLY sick and in need of emergency medical treatment. There is no question if a brain infection is present. That you can even ask the question means you don't need to worry.
You DO need to take care of your teeth, though. Please make an appt and have them checked. That will do much to reduce your dental anxiety.
It's easy for me to say relax, but do try. With four children that is not an easy thing to do but, IMO, perhaps you need to be more demanding of your husband for help.
Good luck and my very best to you,
Gellia
