General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Thursday, April 1, 2010 | A Frustrating story

I do not know if anyone has read my recent posts but I had a very stressful week last week. My therapist told me to give it a week to feel better. I saw her last night. She said even a person that did not have anxiety would be tired for a while. I am very hard on myself. Today I am getting one of my headaches that starts in my neck and goes up my back of my head and then around my head. I feel like there is a brick on my chest and that I could sleep for an 100 years. A lot of my friends who donot have anxiety are starting to call less often and not want to do anything with me anymore. I feel lonely and abandened. Will some one be my friend and does anyone else feel this way? Please help

I will be your friend! And I've been having a really hard week and half dealing with my anxiety. It's normal to have set backs although they are so so so frustrating. It does take time for your body to start functioning normally again.
I'm very hard on myself too! I want to be better overnight or right now lol. Just know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. That's what this website is for; people who need people who UNDERSTAND and CARE.

I am online way too much...feel free to message me anytime u ever need to talk.

It's draining, off course your exhausted, and STOP being so hard on yourself!! Isn't all the other shit enough? Today, just for today, please be kind to yourself. One day, and tell me how you feel tomorrow. Every time a negative thought pops in, replace it with " Today i will be kind to myself" Ten thousand times it will take, just DO IT

Here's me sending you a great Big Hug!!!!

Give yourself permission to be tired. Your body/mind need a rest. Big deal. Sleep if you want to. There is nothing wrong with that. It will actually help. Just float with it.

What is with people who have anxiety and stress, that their friends turn on them. I just don't understand that kind of behavior OR that kind of friendship.

True friends do not abandon us in our time of need. You have plenty of friends right here and you will meet new friends that aren't there only when everything is going good. You can write to us, either by chat or by messages. Please don't ever feel alone. I have had a really bad time to with things going wrong with my body and it makes my anxiety worse but my friends don't abandon me. If they did, I would not care as then I would know they weren't true friends to begin with.

We take the good with the bad and the healthy with the " I'm having a tough time right now" Please remember that you are not alone.
