Hey all. I haven't posted in awhile, but today was super weird and discouraging and maybe someone will have shared in my experience. I've been on the forum for about 7 months. My anxiety is intricately linked to chronic illness and my struggle with that. I have yet to find a proper diagnosis or see the right doc, but I am treating it as onset (after a terrible URI or Covid last Feb 2020) case...
Buying your first house is HUGE, Wantha. Doing so on your own is even bigger. So is building a new partnership. The fact that your thoughts are all over the map might be nothing more, nor less than a sign that you are paying attention.
Steady as she goes, Cap'n. Easy does it.
For what it's worth
When I feel threatened, I make my way to safety with itsy bitsy baby steps. Small steps make the surest escape strategy and often the fastest way through is straight on through the storm. Keep your eye on the prize.
New relationships are a major life event. They change, they evolve around events shared and separately, and they are a challenge. Success is measured in the moments that bring joy and calm.
Anxiety and Depression are a part of my daily routine. They do NOT control my day, they are helpers. On a difficult day, I have some calming routines that make it easier to remain calm and active in the moment. Breathing, gentle motion, and staying hydrated.
You are managing a number of challenges in the same time. Take time to relax and appreciate the joy in the success!
Yes, keep trying. Buying a new house, a new relationship, depression, I understand it’s hard but you are trying. Keep up the good work. Remember that we are here for you. Please keep us posted and let us know how you are doing.
Take care, God bless.
