Anyone every grow tired of living like this?

Does anyone ever grow so exhausted of being anxious all the time. Always worried. Anytime my kids say they have a stomach ache, or start acting "off" I spend the entire day worrying. I don't even want to think about sending them to school when they are old enough, all the germs. Some days I don't know how much longer I can survive being so controlled by this fear. The fear is never really gone. I do have really good days, everyone feels good, the weather is good so I have hope Norovirus season will be ending soon, but the fear is always there. How do you guys cope with the daily grind of always being anxious?

Yup all the time.... i just tell myself its all in my head and that i am not sick that my brain is playing tricks on me...sometimes it works other times it doesnt. I have just learned to deal with being anxious all the time... You are not alone

I feel the same. I'm like you XxLove, I tell myself all the time that it's all in my head and it does work sometimes. I haven't been getting may bad panic attacks because I'm really sick of this crap!

its exhausting constantly worrying, one day at a time...one foot in front of the other...

Every day I'm baffled and upset by how this phobia has run my life for decades. Perhaps I haven't truly "accepted" it as fact, but at least I'm trying, right? Ugh!!!!!

I wouldn't use the word "tired" or "exhausted", but definitely fed up is the perfect way to describe it.
