I suffer from severe anxiety panic attacks.  Apparently they run in my family on both sides. 

I worry everyday weather Joshua is going to have a good or bad day.  I never know.  I worry that I will be called to pick him up, for behavior problems.
I worry about money stress's.
I wonder if I had been a working mom, if Joshua would have been diagnosed any sooner.
I  wonder how I am going to work and take care of household stuff, if I can't even handle my volunteer job as a Brownie Leader.
Anxiety is irrational fears that interfere with your life.  I have a lot on my plate.
I worry about Gracie who seems distracted when it comes to packing her backpack for school.  She does her homework, but half the time it doesn't get there.
I wonder if she might have a mild form of autism.
She lacks in social skills.

I  am   no stranger.  I   have generalized anxiety disorder.  I  believe I have had it all my life.  But, I only started taking medication for it 5 years ago.    Most people worry.  Worry  is normal.  Unless you are like me and every little thing you worry about a hundred times fold. 
Symptoms: nausea,   hot flashes,s or cold flashes, 
Caffine and lack of sleep can make the symptoms worse.
So I am going caffine free.  No more diet coke.  Sugar can make it worse.
I am also teaching my self behavioral cognitive therapy.  Also  exercise is good for reducing anxiety.
