How to not be so emotional?

**leeleeaub** · 02-07-2006, 01:56 AM

I find myself being emotional over everything. This drives my poor husband insane. I worry about him constantly at work. I worry if I am a good enough wife. I worry that I am overweight and how can he love me. I worry about my kids and grandkids so far away. I worry about money. I worry about everything. I sometimes think my husband would rather have someone that is carefree but no matter how hard I try I can't just be carefree.
I put my life into God's hands and I pray about this constantly but I cannot seem to stop worrying and being so emotional.
Does anyone else find this happening to them and if so how do you deal with it?

I am very emotional as well. I constantly worry about my husband too. I really can't say there is just one thing I do to help me in this area. I pray, and go to the Word of God often for help.

I am like that to an extent. It sounds a lot worse for you, and it sounds like anxiety. Have you talked to your dr. about it? I know medication is often a last resort for people, but it really could change your life for the better

Yes, I do it too and my doctors say it is anxiety.

Right now I cannot afford to go to the dr for any reason. My husbands new insurance has a 1500 deductible. I have been taking my hormone pills once a week and am about to run out. I have so many things I need to go to the dr for but right now I just cannot afford it.

I am like you alot. There are sometimes support groups for this. I know there are two in my area and I live in a small community, I have found that talking to other people with the same fears, and feelings sometimes makes me feel better, at least then I know I am not alone in my feelings and then i don't feel like I am so different.

Just rememebr also that the grass is always greener on the other side, if you were carefree and easygoing all the time I bet your husband would wish for you to be more the way you are now.

HUGS to you and take the good with the bad one day at a time. You can PM me if you want I have been dealing with this for years, it does help to just vent sometimes.
