my head just wont stop!! i am constantly thinking negative thoughts even though i know things may not even be as bad as they seem....mainly my brother is going through chemo at the moment and its just so terrible watching him so sick..i am constantly crying and dont want to be around people..its all just too much of an effort to get up in the morning..i feel guilty very guilty that i am making what seems to be the smallest problems bigger than they are..the guilt comes when i think what my brother is going through why should i be so depressed hes the one going through this!! i feel so selfish .. i worry about the stupidist things i am at the point that i am even checking my driveway after my hubby leaves for work in his truck,i check to see if its leaking oil..and worry that it may break down and it will cost lost of money..i constanlty think of the worse scenario..yep sounds stupid i know !!!

Hi,

OK, been there done that I'm 60yo and know how it feels.

The solution will be medium and long term just prepaying you fir the long haul but it will be worth it.

As what us common with many illnesses like this it requires a mix of separate approaches like....correct diagnosis, on going GP and psych visits as required, relaxation techniques, change if environment, workplace etc. And at times educating those around you.

Please google: Topic: 30 minutes can change your life- beyondblue

Google: muscle tensioning exercises. I've been doing these for 27 years now and it keeps my anxiety at bay. It really does work.

Worry doesn't produce anything but peptic ulcers and strokes along with great concern by your loved ones that are limited with how to help.

Good luck.
