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.

It's me again

Well, yesterday I went into the office and my boss told me he doesn't want me to be working back in the office anymore. This means I had to move all my equipment back home again. We talked about other work issues and he made me feel much better about things. I felt a big weight lifted from my shoulders. I had a great rest of the day, but then just before bed, I started to think about how much I have to do to caught up. I was able to sleep for most part, but then I woke up this morning anxious. I got some work done and felt better, but for some reason I'm very anxious again. I thought I was passed my current bout with anxiety yesterday, but here I am again.

Sounds like you're doing great! It makes perfect sense that you're feeling a bit more anxious now. After all, you moved your work stuff home then back to your workplace. Two moves like that are a big deal. Sounds like that anxiety was offset by the good discussion with your manager and the fact you got some work done. I may have already said it's a good idea to not be too hard on yourself. What I mean is, I may have put that in a reply to one of your other posts.

You're doing a lot of good work on yourself right now. I'm impressed by your self-awareness and willingness to face your anxiety triggers. Well done! And keep up the good work.

Glad you had a good talk and that you feel better. Working from home is not that bad. Just think of your commute time.

I doesn't know but I does believe the collective anxiety isn't going away any time soon. Jimmy Buffet re-wrote his classic to read, "Wasted away again in Coronaville. looking for my lost shaker of life."

Do you like salt or lime with your Corona?

Attempted humor aside. . .

Gentle empathy.

I like the humor, arfie. That would be a great song. Good to hear CherylMC. Today I feel a bit unproductive as if I am supposed to be productive. I thought I would be doing all these creative things during this forced sabbatical in life, but so far not feel the spark of that much.

Rriussnn, I understand that. I feel like I should feel so much more comfortable working from home, but I don't. Also feel I should be happy to be forced to stay inside where I usually am when I'm not at work, but I'm not.

I understand how you feel maybe at the moment how things are it's probably best to work from home at least you will stay safe , it sounds like you have spoken to your boss so maybe everything will the out ok in the end .

    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!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
