Hi, I am so glad to have found this site. I thought I was just crazy. I think I have all the anxiety problems from OCD to hypochondriac. I always have irrational fears usually relating to my children, my health or my children's health. I use to check my closets under beds behind doors every night. Now I am not quite so bad. I don't know what I would of done had someone actually been there.
I have a fear of blood and bodily fluids being on everything. Always worried about getting poked with something that might have a disease on it.  I am scared to let my children out of my sight.
I haven't told anyone any of my fears because I know they are so irrational.
I know I am healthy, but always think I have some crazy disease.
I worry constantly about finances. If my house is dirty it makes me very nervous.
I just want to have a normal life without always worrying about everything.
I take zoloft but it doesn't seem to help.
Any response is welcome.
Thank you.

Hi Faith,
know what you're going through as I have a number of your "symptoms' as well.
I'm a lot better than I was, but still not what one would call "normal'.

If the Zoloft is not working, talk it over with your doctor and try a different med. I know I tried a few until I found one that gave me some improvement.

Take care,
Hat. :) :) :)
