Anticipatory Anxiety

Hello. I have my good moments in my bed moments. Just really hard to stay positive. And believe in my abilities to do my job and you take care of myself. I seem to have a lot of anticipatory anxiety. I think that's why it's so much harder at night because if I get to a good place that day I don't wanna go to sleep because then that means I have to face another day. And I'm worried what that day's gonna bring and how I'm gonna feel that particular day.

Yes I know the feeling. I tell myself this too will pass and next week I will be anxious about something entirely different. The only constant in life is change and that’s usually ok with me. Deep breaths

I have big problem with anticipatory anxiety. It's hard not
to worry. But I have to tell myself that most things I worry about
don't happen or are not as bad as I fear. That I can cope when
the bad things happen. This pandemic is making my anxiety worse
But I have to meditate and calm my brain each day or I would go
completely crazy.

Absolutely know how it is to dread what may lie ahead... mine is usually when have changes at work but now this pandemic has the potential to keep people from supporting themselves as long as their employment is on hold. And no guarantee when economy will open up... how do we overcome this form of anxiety? But worrying is self defeating and must be resisted at all costs... one day at a time.

Hey. I think we all have those good and bad days. It is great that you are able to acknowledge the good days. Taking it one day at a time is important, some days, one moment at a time. Keep your mind positive and treating each day new is a good step too. Yes, it can be exhausting as well, but we have to have hope and faith each day will be better. Talking about it is important too, as well as getting yourself moving around by exercising and doing someone different. I pray that God will deliver and provide you with the plans he has set for you with peace and love. Take it a day at a time and you will see the light more and more. Process your emotions by talking to someone because it is important to find a way to process and work through your emotions of anxiety. Find someone you can pray with, journal, and have positive thoughts even though you feel overwhelmed with other thoughts. Praying for you.
