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.

Scared from the beginning of the day

From the time I had to leave the house to go grocery shopping, I felt scared, not quite right.  When I was going through the checkout the lady kept stopping and asking me if I was alright.  This afternoon I checked my pulse (I am a heart patient) I felt a little strange it was far too low, 42 beats per minute.  Its the evening now, I still feel nervous and stressed, I feel like hiding in bed, cant wait for bedtime!

Take a moment and breathe, stopping and pausing.

Sometimes, we can reset the balance by doing the calming exercises frequently throughout the day.

Hope you feel better.

I get bad, crippling anxiety early in the morning. I have to shut down and goto bed. I find it better to deal with anxiety later in the after noon. But the only thing is I screw up my night sleep doing this.

Dunno, but I'm wondering if hiding is what got you here in the first place. Just wondering. . . It remains yours to sort.

Might this be a most excellent moment to start establishing your rights/needs for self-care, Ruth? Again, just wondering. . .

Continued support while you sort.

I'm here with you, Ruth! Last night I dreamt I got Covid really bad, fever of 103.7 and I was in bed like I was dying. Woke up this morning terrified of my own allergies, and it's been tough getting through the morning. We are stronger than our anxiety! Today will be over before we know it, and bedtime will be oh so sweet <3

Just hang in there I feel a little awkward and anxious when I'm out and about alone I don't know what it is but I think I'll have to learn to deal with it it sounds to me that you need just to do some deep breathing and know that everything's going to be okay I give you a lot of credit when credit's due for going to the grocery store when you know how you feel when you go sometimes I push myself to do things I don't want to do and in the end it works out then afterwards you feel better about it don't give up and remember you can do this

Hi ruthgrps!
You state that you're heart patient. Can I ask exactly what you mean by that? Did you have bypass surgery? Are you taking a lot medications? Many times it could possibly be side effects from medications. I treat my anxiety with Bach Flower Remedies and it works wonders. All natural holistic from flower essences.
