coming here helps me manage that anxiety that just won't increase its proper social distance. yo! ! ! anxiety! ! ! can you take the hint and just go away?

sigh. . . breathing. . .

i often wonder if my anxiety is an all-natural manifestation of those mixed emotions, most especially anger and rage. finding something to hit gives me far more cathartic release that putting foot-shaped stickers on the floor to mark out proper social distances.

keep sorting and venting, queen. steadying support while you sort.

Thanks, it is as you say Arfie! Until I discover to sort I will never give up on myself. I have the right to be human and experience all the natural manifestations of those mixed emotions that came with all the harshness from an unequal yoke of a system... We all need to be real...

Arfie, I discovered that I do better by typing away than punching because I also lack energy and typing doesn't require as much coordination with the punches!!

I believe, God feels every keystroke of mine to the fullest of my advantage.

I so hope you can find a way to get over your anxiety. It is not a good thing.

Mine is usually through the roof. I debate with myself everyday if I should get back on anti-anxiety meds.

I think if you believe that God feels every keystroke of yours He is there to answer prayers. And if you don't mind I will sent him a prayer on your be half.

xoxo

So sweet of you Carlyj1202, hope you're feeling better today!!

It's like Arfie mentions, one needs to know what one needs in order to deal with the behavior... Arfie needs a pillow to punch... hahaha

I need a lawyer to help expedite my divorce so I can pay my rent because I'm no longer homeless, but I'm dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and having a loving home to take care of myself is a huge accomplishment and we know physiological needs are essential to the human soul/sole but it takes money to pay rent.

Carlyj1201, to be specific, Pray for God in the heavens to answer my prayers for the right lawyer to help me with this upsidedown situation that is the root of the problem... I am also thankful to have goals in place to fulfill as well... Such as completing my student teaching, helps me relax when not under stress.

Thanks ya'll

Anyway, God will help, I know... and thanks again Arfie and Carlyj1202 for your full support in this matter...

Posting here really does help get it out. For me it helps decrease the anxiety just knowing that I can chat with likeminded here. That and relaxation audios/ guided imagery really help.

Tcl18, you are so right and I agree with you, posting on here really does help and music soothes areas that we know need healing...

I miss the voice of my children but music helps because it can't replace their voice but does help tremendously...

As I mentioned, we are real souls and not just spirits typing away!!

I wish god and love and fate and all that existed. But we are not connected. And never will be. And I wish I was dead

Hmmm... Insectavamour sounds like you had god, love, and fate all real to you at one point. Perhaps you miss the connection with all that you were when together with your past, can you will you share a little of your happiness on here with us tonight?

I think you are valuable and this place is designed for us to share one anothers burdens, cares, and concerns...

It's like what Tcl18 mentions typing does help

pillow punching is entirely too gentle for my anger-channeling needs. at 69, my rage issues have mellowed enough that i no longer look for junk cars in need of demolishing, but i will still leave a pillow gutless with its guts scattered all over the room.

where's my kick boxing bag?

Hahaha Arfie, you’ve got good sense of humor too!!

do something physical like going for a walk or going to work.
it sounds like you're out of balance. Find something to engage
your mind and body in exercise and 20 minutes of breathlessness in your effort. That can help (it was recommended by my doctors to me! )

I'm just like that, I look fine on the outside but my Anxiety is beating the crap out of me on the inside.
I put on fake smiles when I see my family because I don't want to burden them, my family is understanding but I start to feel guilt of having a meltdown in front of them too many times already.
I pray you feel better.
Take it one day at a time. I still have trouble with that, but I'm trying.

It's been my experience that when I communicate with someone other than myself that is mainly empathetic than sympathetic, life does seem to flow naturally and worries fall off immediately. Consistency has been a challenge because we want to stay in that high water and vibrating flow of energy and not at a stagnant level, ever.

It's also been my experience to walk by faith and not by sight because looks have been so ironically deceitful, and wrong when black and white with red letters was, is, and is to be clearly understood, age after age, no matter what.

Just been my experience.

I have also been a mess! Started an antidepressant am supposse to up it tomorrow sooo nervous. I have been trying to go for nature walks seems to help and thinking positive.

Staying physically active does help to reduce levels of uncertainty… but then again so does rest and those in between essential power naps.
