Severe Anxiety

Ummm..well, where do i begin?

I am pretty sure I have severe anxiety. I live with my husband and 9 month old daughter who i stay home and watch all day. I have alot of fears about being home alone wether its dark outside or daytime. Im scared someones going to break into my apartment...or somethings going to happen to us. I also dont have a car ( my husband takes our car to work) in case something should happen to us, and that worries me also. I feel alone and afraid alot. My fears about getting diseases or illnesses is great also. I fear Im going to have a herat attack. I also have heaviness in my chest and chest pains while the anxiety is occuring. Is that normal?!? I have trouble sleeping sometimes as well. I sometimes hear things while Im sleeping and will awake out of a deep sleep. I know its all in my head...but it wont seem to go away. So, since you know all of this now...my question is, what do I do? I have talked to my doctor about this and he wont prescribe anything for me because it will make me sleepy he says. But, this is really effecting my daily life. I need to have lots of energy to keep uo with my daughter and my daily life....but this is almost to much to bare. Thanks for listening and your help.

You are expressing discomfort with your present life. Is it too boring? You might feel better if you took your child to a day nursery and studied or worked for a few hours a day.

You would get stimulation from the outside world and your daughter would also benefit from seeing other people.
