Anxiety Support Group
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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
So, lately I wake up in total dread and distress. Like a knot in my stomach over something I dreamed about. Now I know we can control our thoughts during the day, while we're awake. But when we're sleepin its not so easy. I don't really remember the nightmares, or dreams I have, but it leaves an emotional imprint for when I wake up. My stomach gets all queasy and tight. My hands shake and I keep thinking that maybe just maybe I can get through today if I smoke enough. And somehow it doesn't really help. This has only happen the last two or three mornings.
Does anyone else have a daydreaming problem? Like just get on a thought and get stuck there for awhile. I have this issue where I will be letting my mind wander and then all of a sudden I'm stuck on a thought and my partner is trying to talk to me, but I'm so stuck I can't respond for a few seconds. It's frustrating because I will be in the middle of working on something and my mind will just wander off. No notice or whatever, just toodle loo, there it goes. I think I'm gonna have to put a chain on the door or something. Oh well, just another day in paradise.

A dream journal was part of my ticket out of that vicious loop. I kept a pen and paper next to my bed so that I could record my dreams before I even got out of bed. When I couldn't remember the details of the dream, I would record the emotions I woke with in as much detail as possible. The dream journal offered allot of clues of what to work on in my therapy sessions.
But that is me. . .
Continued support while you uncover what ^it^ is for you, Hippo. Trying to function without restorative rest sucks like an industrial hoover.
