Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Having a real bad day today. The anxiety is sky high, I'm having shortness of breath, sweats and chills. To top it off today is my birthday. I am doing the deep breathing saying my coping phrases but it is real tough today.

So sorry that you're suffering from extreme anxiety--especially on your birthday. I've been there and it is really tough. I'm glad to hear that you have some coping strategies.

I'm sorry you had such an awful day! I've found that on days like that, it's enough just go survive them. I cancel appointments and just breathe and do whatever will help me feel better - provided it's healthy.

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.
