Nice day outside

It s a beautiful day outside and I am fighting my self not to come in and lay down on the couch because my anxiety and O.C.D. is kicking up. My friends don't understand how I feel on the inside. They say I look great and happy. Which is a far cry on how I feel on the inside. They say don't focus on how you feel and just get busy but I don't know how to do that. I feel like crying but the tears won't come I am tired of feeling this way. Can anyone help?

hello codymama, good evening :) my prayers so that you feel nice and warm in your inside as well. yes..it may probably be tough 'not to focus and just getting busy" as your friends mentioned.. so ..u can try to take in smal steps one step at a time and one day at a time.

Its also okay if your friends do not understand you b'case it is diffcult to understand when other are going thro this.

Please remember that once you tend to relax yourself slowly..I hope this anxiety can be controlled gently and easily too.

my prayesr again. take care,
Regards,
Bhanu

I can understand how you feel, but many people as you said can not. It is unfortunate, but true. I certainly don't have all the answers but I can empathize and I hear you. Maybe a therapist or a doctor could help, I don't know what I would do without my doctors to help me through things.

I think I am in the same boat. I lost my motivation, my drive. It was a beautiful day yesterday. I had to push myself to go out. I did but not long. I use to love working in the garden. I don't think I am depressed? I don't feel sad. Keep trying ....
