What is one step you can take that helps you reduce anxiety? It helps me to focus on what I can do, not what I'm feeling.

Thank you all for the comments. This is a bad one. Still going through it. My health anxiety hypochondria is through the roof. I can't stop checking in the mirror or google searching.

Next time you look in the mirror, make a silly face, and be proud of your caring. It matters, and making it a good feeling may be the way to move through this.

Don't google...that's the worst and will only panic you more. What's the worst that can happen? Is it a life threatening sickness? sometimes this helps me calm myself. I'm not going to die. Yes, I might get sick and be uncomfortable, but people get sick every day and don't die. Big Hugs!!!

So it turns out, like usual, my issue was nothing. I talked to a Dr. and then found similar experiences from different people online.

The change in weather and shorter sunlight hours does do this. Hurrah for getting out of the house!

Great job getting out of the house, despite feeling drained. Hopefully you can find some peace and tomorrow will be better.

Mideyebrow it's actually the opposite for me. I hate the summer hours.

Jsands it didn't last long. Haircut and a trip to the grocery store.

I'm still trying to not let the obsessive anxiety get me.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
