Anxiety As Fear

[Curious]

I have been diagnosed with being high strung. I allow negative actions to rule me instead of vice versa. Why do I allow this to happen in the first place? Could be not understanding the negative thought in the first place. Now I have had memory problems of not remembering things for four days. I know how to get where I am going, but can't remember the name of the town. The word Alzheimers comes to mind. I love my wife, but she has Hyperglycemia and I worry about her.

It seems one thing happens to me again and again. If she didn't need me I would put myself in a mental health facility. I am human and can take so much in problems I am getting extremely emotional and mentally confronted with these always happening situations. I take my medicines and see my regular doctor every three months. I am now feeling that have taken on more problems that I can handle. High Strung

Remember what David Baxter responded long ago, regarding the term "high strung"

It's not a diagnosis, but your own description of issues you are trying to deal with.
