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...
Sometimes very often I feel anxious when someone speaks negatively or cussing at every little thing it messes with my energy. I clinched tightly down on my teeth. It's frustrating. Pain does this for me too. I get anxious often but sometimes it doesn't always feel like anything is giving me anxiety. i get confused a lot or foggy.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Write in a journal.
Remember you are responsible for what you say, do, and how you react and respond. You are NOT responsible for what others say and do and how they react and respond. It is not your problem how they are.
Focus on the "you" well-being and work with that in mind.
Best wishes.
My shrinks called my similar symptoms from talking with other people, "Social Anxiety." They called my increased anxiety with physical pain, "all-natural Survival Instinct" and encouraged me to fine tune that one rather than "Cure" it. A common cold shouldn't put me in hypochondriac psychosis, but my survival instinct is right on target to insist I take extra care when my immune system is under attack. Both are works in progress. They shift and flow with life.
For the part of me that clenches my teeth at other people's negativity, it has helped me tremendously to remind myself that *their* negativity is **theirs** to sort. Mine to sort is what I choose to take away from the experience. Healing hopes for all. No exceptions. Hope you find your perfect world, my friend.
In the case of somebody who prattles on and on and on and on with their negative views of the world, while I am looking for my escape route, I often imagine I am listening to a jack hammer. As irritating as the day is long, but not the end of the world. Just one of many tools I picked up in psychotherapy.
Gentle support while you find what works for you Miss Keke. I hope you'll feel safe sorting your own here. Vent freely. Vent often.
