I just need some opinions before I call my doctor. I am always worrying, for the most part pretty excessively, alot of about money and relationships. I had to file bankruptcy for $11000 dollars, because I couldn’ t handle the stress. The constant worrying of being cheated on has effected 2 marriages that ended up in divorce, I used do smoke pot about 3 years ago because I was worrying to much about the trouble I was in, in the military, which led me to get kicked out of the army and have a midlife crisis. I was on depression meds for a little while but stopped them 3 months after getting treatment. I have a 2 year old son now, and his dad doesn’t pay me child support, I have alot of phobias scared of heights, closed places, having my head under a blanket. I can’t be in any kind of social situation unless I’m drunk, usually I end up binge drinking so I stop caring about what everyone thinks of me. It has got to the point now where if I even drink 3 drinks of alcohal beverages,
I tend to keep telling my boyfriend he’s having *** with his x girlfriend, my sister etc. And now my excessive worrying about what my x husband did to me has effected my *** life!! Is this really anxiety or depression? or both?

This thunderstorm has me messed up, I’m alternating between crying, whimpering, and screaming. I’m UNDER my bed with the laptop, wrapped in three different blankets, have an army of stuffed animals, have music blaring to try to drown the storm out, and am shaking. My heart is racing, my palms are sweaty, and my tummy is growling. I’m so scared, what should I do. I feel like a baby, I’m 15 and my mom says that I need to tough it out, that it’s time to get over this petty fear. What should I do?
I can’t sleep
I don’t know what it is, I like rain, just not the thunder. Any loud noises scare me enough to scream.
The more I focus on how low the chances are the more I think about how unlucky I am, and that it’s probably going to be me swept away by the tornado, or me hit by lightning.
I’m shaking so hard it’s a wonder I can type, much less stop whimpering or get out from under the bed. I just don’t know what to do, I know my mom is going to rush up if I scream, and I feel like this is such a trivial thing to get scared of, I know nothings going to hurt me, but it doesn’t matter, I’m scared no matter how many times I tell myelf that.

My laptop is unplugged.
