Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Today I lost my Grandmother, this was not just your typical grandma. I moved in with her when my parents divorced and I was only 3 years old. I lived with her untill I met my husband when I was 19 and we got our first apartment. She truly was my best friend. She was very sick and in Hammond (about 45 min away from me) and for the past two years I have driven up there a couple times a week to visit her. I have not been on any medicine, becuase my husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I have being doing awesome. I am just really scared that with this loss and the fact that I dont have any medicine to rely on helping me feel better that I might hit a downward spiral. I also hate to make the situation about me and go to my mom or sister about how I am doing when they are hurting just as much as I am...Including my husband we have been together for so long that this loss is effecting him just as hard. I am just feeling numb and needed to get all of this off of my chest. Thanks for listening!!
My best advice with not knowing more details that might give you some relief tonight is a few simple things.
1. Take some deep breaths
2. Recognize what is causing you anxiety
3. Accept how you feel about whatever is troubling you.
You can't change how you feel or what happens in your life. All you can do is accept how it makes you feel and try to grow from it. I know this is all SO easier said than done but when I really focus all of my energy on these steps I feel better for the time being about my anxiety. Good luck and message me if you need to talk :)
