The Worrier's Journey Begins

I am a worrier. A worry wart. I am also filled with anxiety and occasional silent rage. I feel as though I have little control over my life, and yet too much. I come from a long line of worriers, panickers, and generally moody people. Many people in my family are on some form of anxiety medication and many are not. Those who are not on medication tend to be hard to predict and live with. I love them all just the way they are but, personally, I am tired of living this way. I want a positive life for me, my husband and my daughter. I especially want to live by example for my daughter who has genetics working against her.

This journey begins by researching tips and techniques to conquer fear and anxiety.

Maybe I should start with a haiku.

Stomach bursts and sways
Light headed balloon my mind
Peace is needed now

or

Thoughts are flooding in
A million thoughts every mile
Bumpy road a-head

So I will start this journey by looking into what the various religions and philosophies say about panic, anxiety, depression and worry. Sounds like a fun journey? If so, then you may be a little nutty :)

Cheerio,

The Worrier
