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...
Today is my birthday. I am going with the flow not to be rude. I went to a bar last night even though I suggested something else. I didn't even drink. My best friend got trashed. Her ex-boyfriend was in NJ and he showed up. Ended up at the bar for 4 hours. Ugh! It was chilly in there. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I cheated on Keto. Tonight I am going out to dinner with my brother and his friend. I couldn't say no even though I don't want to cheat on Keto again. Keto and getting better sleep by taking two of my meds at night instead of morning has changed my life for the better. Most of the time, I have energy to do lots. It's amazing! I truly have suffered my whole life from fatigue until these changes. I think I'm a lifer! Back on the horse tomorrow!

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

It's going to get hotter here with Thursday being the hottest. It's noon and 75f feels more like 80 or more.I've been cleaning up the deck in this morning and cleaning the windows outside. Then I cut up a pallet in half, I've decided to call it quits now because I went a bit light headed. Joanne, some drugs we take have an effect on us in the heat, I know a couple of mine do, maybe yours...
Good for you to not drink.
I also do not drink. I haven’t really drank in years. Not that I have any problems with alcohol, I just don’t like it. I mean I will have one fancy drink if I’m at a wedding or something. But I just hate the way I feel and alcohol makes my heart race.
Sorry about your friend.
Glad though you realize and are able to feel okay about things. Sounds like I have to do this with a family member.
Nice your brother is taking you out tonight. As you said, back to your own routine tomorrow. Enjoy the time with your brother.
Happy Birthday!
yeah, 4 hours at a bar would probably get me setting boundaries with that friend. there was a time when i enjoyed bars, but even then, 4 hours was more than i cared for. at present i can't remember the last time i visited a social meat market.
i'm not quite sure what it means to cheat on keto, but here's to staying true to you.
I was raised to keep my head down and always acquiesce to others in order to appear to be respectful. I'm still learning benefits of trying assertive behaviors which still respect others but allow me to say what my needs or preferences are so I have a bit more control over making best healthy choices for myself without having to give a defense of all my choices. I still have awkward times here and there with assertive behavior, but I do notice that most people take my matter of fact statements as respectful, and I can keep my personal priorities and choices more on-track and not feel stepped on.
I have heard great things about Keto diets. Glad it is working well for you, with great benefits.
