I know what the issues are, but I can't really deal with them.
  • if you think you're anxious now wait till you have a kid!

    It would probably help if you did some yoga or Tai Chi and drink less. I'm not one of those "never touch another drop of drink" people...but just make sure you are not overdoing it. I find that if I drink too much that in itself makes me jittery and anxious. One and a half drinks seem to be OK..any more and I get jittery the next day. So just try cutting back and see if you feel better. And it is true that we worriers, once we have one problem solved (in your case having a partner) then our worry habit latches on to something else. I often feel that if I don't worry enough about a subject and then something bad happens it is my fault for not worrying enough. This is clearly not good thinking.
