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...
Figured I’d vent to you guys and see if that makes things any better. I was up at 7am to take my dog to the vet (early for me). I get there to find out he doesn’t have an appointment. I’m very fastidious about keeping track of my appointments so I know it must’ve been their fault. They asked me to reschedule but I declined. It’s just a physical. I can find another vet if I need to.
Waking up early causes me anxiety. Haven’t fully understood why, but it does. I proceeded to sleep my morning away, but when the mail came, I found out I had been denied a referral to see a cognitive behavioral therapist that’s out of network. They want me to see one of their therapists that doesn’t do CBT. I’ve found traditional therapy to be a waste of time in the past.
So, I’m having a lazy day at home. I was thinking about getting groceries today but I think I’ll go tomorrow. No real plans for the rest of the afternoon — may take another nap; may read my book.

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.

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment.

It would also make me go bananas if I was told I didn’t have an appointment I showed up for. I keep track of everything perfectly and, even at 29, I get my Mom to keep track of my appointments in case I get side tracked.
I wish you and your dog the best of luck!
Venting quite often helps me. Not always, but often enough to keep me giving it another try. I think it helps me to identify which ^it^ is messing with me in the current spin of the not-so-merry-go-round. Hope it worked for you, in this go-round.
