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...
My anxiety has been at it's worst ever and for the past several months.
I reached a point where I have been barely getting through the day.
Basic tasks like showering or preparing a meal seemed impossible.
My home now reflects the state of my mind.
I'd be embarrased to share the details of how awful it has gotten.
I have isolated myself and now that I am on an upswing I can't even dig myself out of the mess around me.
I am too embarrased to let anyone know or ask for help to do it.
I know if I clean it up I will feel better because my environment will be clean and calming.
I'll be able to invite people over and feel less isolated.
Every time I set out to do it I get so overwhelmed and it triggers my anxiety to where I cannot do anything except sit and stare into a wall.
It's going to take me at least a few days to get the worst of it done.
I need to keep motivated when I start to feel it is impossible.
Please help me with your words of support and encouragement!
I am on meds and working on the roots of my anxiety, but right now
I just want a safe place to share my progress and check in.

A friend asked me to help her...she was injured and out of the hospital.
Most of the day I was tending to her and her pets.
Usually I also volunteer on Saturdays and they needed me today.
I had planned to have the whole day off for cleaning and to do some work to make up the two days I missed from being out of it.
I ended up not getting any cleaning done and only 3 hours of work.
Now my paycheck will be very short next week and I am already so broke I can't even buy any food or put gas in my car.
So now I'm feeing really discouraged because though I had a busy and productive day none of it was what I really wanted to get done.
To boot I am physically so tired from the stuff I did today I just know tomorrow I am going to succumb to fatigue and not get anything done again.
I know I did two good things today to help others, but my mind is going in a downward spiral cause now I get home and see the huge mess and it's so so bad...
