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.

My own anxiety came and stayed, unrelenting. I just wanted to tell you about a book on Amazon called “It’s Only Anxiety.” I think you would benefit greatly. It’s not expensive, I paid $20 which included shipping. It has a lot of info and is about a method called Acceptance. I am finding it to be very helpful.

Gentle empathy, Trudy. You are far from the only person this happens too. In my own psych herstory, it happens so routinely that I continue working my anxiety management tools, even on the days I feel like I could conquer the world. More and more, I work the tools double time on the days I feel like I could conquer the world. Those are the days where I form the unrealistic expectations that set me up for future bouts.

Gentle support while you ride out the latest wave.

This totally happens to me as well. I'll be fine and then something, as I can't even always identify the something, happens and I get totally anxious and it takes a few days for me to really let it go.

I've started trying to look at these moments as opportunities to practice acceptance and living with the anxiety. When it sets in for weeks at a time I'm too focused on just trying to make it through the day. But when it comes on suddenly then I can try to just accept and let go, over and over and over again.

Hope you're able to find some peace

    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!
