Re: emotional lability - also a poll

[Guest guest]

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I'm really glad you made this point. 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. And changing it would

somehow be changing me. Thanks for so accurately putting into words how I

feel myself!

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.

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!

ok, so in a nutshell, we are or were delusional

worriers who can't take bright lights, control freak

perfectionists prone to emotional outbursts. alot of

us were athletes when we were young, sprinters not

distance runners. we got in trouble for " bouncing " our

legs and making the whole room shake. i've noticed

quite a few patterns over the last year on this board.

ok so how many are tall, blue-eyed polish girls whose

parents were from new york or new jersey.lol. gosh i

love having y'all around to help me realize every day

that i am not alone.

RE: emotional lability - also a poll

ok, so in a nutshell, we are or were delusional

worriers who can't take bright lights, control freak

perfectionists prone to emotional outbursts. alot of

us were athletes when we were young, sprinters not

distance runners. we got in trouble for " bouncing " our

legs and making the whole room shake. i've noticed

quite a few patterns over the last year on this board.

ok so how many are tall, blue-eyed polish girls whose

parents were from new york or new jersey.lol. gosh i

love having y'all around to help me realize every day

that i am not alone.

just love you guys
