Anxiety:How do I stop worrying about appointments?

Wow, it sounds like you have a very busy life, and as much as I hate to say it, stress and worry are important to our motivation processes. Our need to act upon an issue that we really don’t want to face is enforced by stress. However, if you are suffering from additional stress related to keeping appointments then you may have more underlying issues that are effecting your perception to keeping responsibilities or appointments. These issues can include social phobias, anxiety related to having responsibilities, or even just compounded stress. I would recommend trying to rearranging your schedule so that the responsibilities are spaced out throughout the month, or having someone assist you. I also think that you should continue to work closely and honestly with your counselor, and emphasize more on these stress-related issues. If you are on the maximum dosage of anti-depressants and they are still not working, then perhaps your issues may be along the lines of social-psychological issues, you may want to bring this up as well just to explore the idea.
