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...

IS there a light?

Today has been a good and bad day, my son is recovering from a viral infection, and has just starte to eat again.. but with this flu epidemic and the guilt i have just realising that he doesnt have a flu jab (he is getting one next week when he feels better) i am trying so bad to not worry and to not speak anything over him but i dont want him to go outside, i dont want him to see anyone, i just want him inside, just incase someone has it and they pass him on. I feel like where he hasnt got the jab he doesnt have protection. But me and my husband are Christians, I shouldnt feel like it. I am a rubbish Christian.



I sometimes feel like i just eant to section myself so that i can go away for a bit, get better without the stress of everyting, and come back when i am better, and when this epidemic goes, but i know when it does go, it is just going to be something else that im worrying about.




Im slowly starting to feel like i cant cope anymore. dont get me wrong i would never do anything silly, but i just want to lay in bed do nothing. see noone, and wait for it to all blow over.




I cant remember the last time i looke forward to something. I get happy about something, but i honestly cant remember when i thought into the future and didnt see a future without worry, without illness.




Im sorry - just needed to vent!

Hey! sorry I know i'm replying late but I feel where you're coming from when it comes to having anxiety about illnesses. I was just like you I didn't want anyone in my household or myself to be exposed to the outside world of germs. Since I was already sick adding more symptoms was not on my agenda. There were points where I was always negative and would put myself in a corner and just be silent until I felt better. I'm a very sociable person, so not talking during family functions created tension. I had to remember that I could do all things through Christ that strengthen me. I know staying positive is hard, but if you're positive positivity comes back to you. Thinking negative is not a choice, but it only creates more anxiety. I hope your sun feels better soon, and keep your head up,, you're doing great!!

    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!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
