Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I was " high-strung " too but not really a worrier or anxious. I was very temperamental and excitable and impulsively bold (I'd have to lock my son in his room forever if he did 1/4 of the things I did). I cringe when I think about it. I didn't get anxious or become a worrier till I grew-up. Take care, > Hmmm, Elaine and Amy's Pam, what you've said has made me think.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I have to chime in here too. I was a terrified child, but partly because I had a psychotic mom. I never connected that with the thyroid problems she had, until this conversation! As for the graphic mind, I can't watch horror pictures or even suspenseful movies--my heart races too much. And my dreams often are worse.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 This sounds more like me too, Patti...not high strung, kind of easy going, not a type " A " personality at all, but a worrier, and one to get nervous in public situations. And I cry over weight gain too..especially since I have fought it all my life and my 2 sisters never seemed to have any trouble staying thin. Ruthie Re: emotional lability - also a poll > So, how about a really unscientific poll - how many other people here were > anxious, " high strung " children and are you still that way as an adult? As a child, I was completely NOT " high strung " ... I was very quiet, patient, didn't worry or get nervous about anything. I was also somewhat adventurous, had no fear of anything. About the time I turned 15 and my hypoglycemia really started showing up, I was starting to turn into a worrier. I became a very nervous person, scared of everything. My doctors told me I had obsessive-compulsive disorder. I'm calmed down somewhat now, but I still have what I refer to as " irrational fears " -- my husband rides a touring motorcycle with me as passenger, and I completely trust him. He is a firefighter, EMT, and a VERY safe driver, and yet after nearly 3 years, I still get VERY scared every time we go around a curve because I'm waiting for the bike to tip over. I'll be going for my motorcycle license in October -- not because I want to ride one on my own, but because I'm hoping that taking the class and learning to ride will quell this fear some, because it really drives me insane. I can very easily get myself into a panic over small things. Lately I'm finding that I have trouble controling my emotions -- I'll cry at the drop of a hat, and when asks me why, I find myself saying " I don't know -- I really didn't mean to.. _____________ (insert issue here) isn't really a big deal, so I don't know why I'm crying " . I was crying last night because my weight has gone up a bit, and then started crying again when his mom called to complain that we didn't have some pictures that she wanted taken at our wedding last month. *sigh* *~*~*~*~* Patti Spicer patti@...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hi Donna, some of what you said sounds familiar. i also have dreams where i drive to the edge of a plunging hole in the earth and just stop in time. my dream book said this is a sign of being out of control. maybe GD causes this. who knows? the poll should be interesting.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Oh my goodness - I thought I was the only " freak " who did this! My husband says I should work in the government or something because no one can imagine a disaster scenario like I can! My son is the same way. When he started kindergarten last year and had to ride the bus, he was a basket case the week before. He had a whole list of things that could go wrong - how does the bus driver know where I live, what if the bus driver gets lost, what if the bus gets a flat tire on the way home, what if it breaks down...he really freaked out when there was a different bus driver who drove him home than picked him up in the morning (I didn't know this beforehand), so he couldn't figure out how the bus driver knew where his house was if she didn't pick him up in the morning? How many other 6 year olds think of stuff like this? I know I did, that's why I so completely understand him. Thanks to everyone who has responded to this little poll...I have learned a lot from your responses, about myself particularly. Maybe there is something to the fact that we are all somewhat extreme worriers and have GD. Makes me wish I were a medical type person who could do a " real " study about what the reasons for this connection would be! P.S. You don't even want to know about my worst case scenario worries for how anthrax could be distributed! RE: emotional lability - also a poll > >> This reminds me...I was always afraid of things, too.

I've often wondered with all those commercials you see for anxiety drugs and wondered if I would benefit from them. But then I wonder if maybe I'd be a completely different person if I didn't worry like I do. Seems like it's such a part of my personality and has been for so long that it's just the way I am.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 ok, i do this too, but no one knows it. i can't walk down the stairswithout seeing myself dead at the bottom, driving is awful, i hit every tree and go over the edge of all the bridges, there are cars running every red light........ . and having worked in OR i have all the horrid mental pics down to a horrid reality. gee, i'm glad it's not just me. i also tend to exagerate bad things or events. i dont mean to do it, to me it seemed that bad at the time. donna --- " L.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Much interesting discussion from this! Fay - I like that term " awfulizing " that the health care professional you know uses...that seems to describe it really well. My hubby used to say I was a pessimist for imagining the worst, but I always felt if I imagined the worst that could possibly happen, and then it didn't, then that was great, but at least I was _prepared_ for the worst. A couple have also mentioned controlling behavior - also very interesting! I know I do this. My rationale for this is since I imagine the worst, I'm prepared, so everyone else should do what I say because I've thought of the consequences and they may not be prepared for them! Warped, isn't it? It's also why I won't fly. I didn't fly before 9/11 and I sure as heck don't see now as the time to start. Too many things out of my control for flying. How do I know the pilot hasn't been flying for 20 hours without sleep? Maybe he had a few drinks at his last stop, maybe the guys who inspect the plane parts haven't been doing as good a job as I would, maybe the plane hasn't been serviced in a while...what about that de-icer? does that really work? Now I have to worry about shifty looking guys waiting at the terminal, too! Sorry, just too much anxiety to make flying worthwhile! Again, hubby thinks I'm nuts, but he at least accepts it. It's refreshing to know I'm not the only " nut " who thinks this way! Having kids has been very humbling in this respect. Can't always control what they do and protect them. I think that's really mellowed me a lot from the way I was before. Case in point, my daughter broke her arm last summer just playing in our fenced in back yard. Trip to ER with 3 kids as hubby was out of town, never felt so helpless and not in control of anything in my life! Just a couple days after this experience was when I started having Graves' symptoms. Coincidence? I think not. Fascinating discussion everyone!
