I love my mom to death, but she is by far the worst listener in the world. It's so hard that I feel like I cannot talk to her about all the anxiety I have right now. I can't talk to her about anything. Here are excerpts from the last three anxiety-related talks I tried to have with her

anxiety

[anonymous]

you do sound like youre having anxiety attacks. i have bad GI problems associated with mine as well. you should think about seeing someone either while youre up there or at least when you get back. i see a great mental health nurse practitioner who i have also recommended to ryan recently [i think he has IBS associated with GAD]. her name is joyce laben, and she actually works at mckendree. phone number is 615.871.8785. she is great- very anti-bs, straight to the point, and has helped me immensely. i know that anxiety can kind of be a dire thing, so until you get some help [aka xanax and therapy!], keep reminding yourself that whatever happens, you can handle it. i know it sounds cheesy, but it works. anxiety is the result of worrying about what could happen, but not focusing on what you would actually do in any situation. youre a smart girl, im sure you can handle whatever is thrown your way.

hope this helps! and congratulations! enjoy this fun time!
