General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Been harboring a lot of anger and bitterness. My mind seems to be hijacked by a little red monster. I just feel angry and annoyed. Perhaps its because staying at home is triggering for me, this whole "stay home" makes me feel trapped and suffocated. Im ranting, I needed a good yell and scream! perhaps someone will hear me? feel the same pain I do?

I have tried taking walks. I actually took one, a very long one, the other day. And I felt I could have gone on forever. I didnt want to go home. I keep thinking to myself, I need to get out of here.

Being around certain people, I feel like Im not the person I want to be =/

Its a sad thought. Anyways... Just wanted to let that out.

I find myself not liking the person I am. Being mean and snappy and irritable all the time. After my dad passed away, I know he knew I loved him.. but I never got to say I love him or say goodbye. .. walks are good . Yard work is good and rewarding too because you can see your progress. Helps me sometimes. Honestly tho most of the time I lay in bed depressed af.

Yah I seem to be having a existential crisis, times are weird. Nice to step out into the yard

I don’t like feeling the anger and bitterness either. Like it’s not enough to go through the original situation that hurt you, you’ve also got to churn with bitter and upsetting thoughts every day after too. What’s with that? I’d rather just let go but sometimes it seems like life has got other plans. Let’s hope life gets better soon.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you were able to walk outdoors. I used to walk in the park but because of high cases of COVID in our area, they consider it non-essential. So I just go out in the yard everyday and it’s a big help.

I pray that all of us will stay strong and will be hopeful that this virus will be over soon. Stay safe. God bless.

I am also having a hard time staying home all day. I have bipolar as well as anxiety but I think all in all I am managing well enough. Do you do any art to let of steam? I journal a LOT when I am upset. But venting helps too

I feel the same way, being at home all the time with my parents who don't respect boundaries. I really want to find a balance at home, and try to be happy even here, but it feels so daunting, I'm not sure if the mental block I am experiencing is real or in my mind. All I really want to do is talk to people again, but with this social distancing going on, everyone just feels so far apart

I feel angry and very resentful too. I do not know what to do, period. So many things are happening that are just putting me over the age...actually there are many (underline) things...not in my control...or that I can't change...I have no outlet...my husband fell 9 ft off an extension ladder last July...I have been doing everything!!!!! I am so tired!!!!!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
