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...

Doing my best

Working hard to get control over my fears. I kind of just went through a real rough patch this summer. 
my adult sons and their families are doing well for which i am grateful,however, had a disagreement with my daughter in law about a year and a half ago and we haven't spoken since. I reached out - via text - to apologize but I don't know if she read it or not. 
i really feel bad for my son who is stuck in the middle. 
i think my daughter in law is dealing with her own unresolved issues which makes things rough on their family but i am not the one to judge as i have been in her place  and basically still am. 
i am lucky to be married to an understanding wife. She is my rock. 
Bordom is something I'm struggling with.


I am retired and we used to travel - mostly by car- to various places in canada and the states. We are stuck at home now, of course, and i really hope that things will return to normal as soon as possible. I realize that it won't happen tomorrow but i am sure it will happen. 
That will be a glorious day for all.

Hello JN. Welcome to DS.

I think this has been a rough summer for all. Mask, sanitizer and pharmaceutical companies are the only ones who have benefited from all these social weirds of 2020. Prayers in progress for all of us.

keep trying to reach out--time may not cure all wounds--but it does soften the anger a bit--ask if there is a way you can make amends. you don't need that hanging over your head--and it would always be better for her to have more support than less. I say that you need to find new things to entertain you at home--gardening, crafts, have staycations--there is a series on netflix called vacation at home or something like that..or is it on hulu...anyway--you can go to online museums, they have virtual tours, decide to become and expert in something. my brother has decided to become an expert in underwater fish tank landscaping or something like that--he creates these fish tank landscapes that are absolutely gorgeous--he buys everything online-makes his own tiny tanks and creates these wonderlands for tiny fish--he's obsessed...lol....

Do try to keep reaching out. Sometimes people can be so stubborn. Try to not let it get to you. Find things to do that you enjoy and stay busy then you won't think about it. Go out and enjoy life. Take a nice walk. Nature is always so calming and beautiful to see. Italianmomma4ever

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
