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.

Off days

So lately I have been having off days. Long story short everyone in my house ended up with covid. I initially did very well taking Temps, giving medicine, etc. I was able to manage my anxiety through all of that. It's been a week and I am a mess. I keep feeling like I can't breathe like something bad is going to happen. I ended up in urgent care yesterday only to be told my ekg looked "absolutely perfect" and my lungs sound clear. My pulse ox was even 97/98. I felt embarrassed. I don't understand how I managed through my own sickness and my children's sickness and now I'm spiraling. My husband seems very frustrated with me and that hurts. Just trying to find ways to get myself back on track.

I am so very sorry you all have Covid. My hats off to you for being so strong through this deficit time. I prays you for what you do as a mother. When we are sick we are cranky. Just let it blow by. Keep doing what you are doing. Everything will be just fine. Blessed Hugs your way.

hope the venting here helped settle the anxiety, ready. getting my anxieties of the day into writing and sharing those words often helps me hold a steady course through the chaos.

more and more, i find myself envying people who have THE VIRUS. at least somebody cares about that particular problem. for the rest of us, if the problem ain't covid, it don't count.

I also am still fighting off COVID. My you Ming adult kids were here over holidays. They left and all tested positive. I also did. I had Major bad upper respiratory symptoms. Still not 100%.
So I know how you feel. It’s a very emotional time.
And I have same thing with husband.
Best of luck to you. Hope you feel better.
I know our friends here on this forum will be helpful to you.

I understand. Good thing you're venting. Me and my daughter had it last year. And now I am so tired of things still closing and still being cooped up (but now it's due to frigid weather here in NYC). Best of luck to you, this too shall pass (SOON PLEASE!!)

    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...
