General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Something doesnt feel right.

Ive had this overwhelming feeling of impending doom lately.  Moreso-in the last few weeks.  Ive been feeling tied to the house lately.


Not wanting to leave the safety of it.  I went out on Saturday to the store and 3 little bag of groceries were 50.00!  I feel like the world had changed overnight.  My anxiety has been worse.  MAybe the exercise will help.  I feel like Roomie isnt telling me everything-says he has alot on his mind of whats going on in the world right now.  Told him I wished he'd share-I'm stronger than he knows.  I wish he'd lean on me.

Here's hoping you find your better balance naturally and move through the feelings with a positive result.

I think anxiety is rising overall. Good for you paying attention to it. Try to find something soothing that does not depend on Roomie or anyone else. If you pin your comfort on the behavior of Roomie, you have no control over it and likely you won't get what you need. If you want him to lean on you so that in return you can lean on him, I think that also is an unlikely scenario. Read something nice, cook something you like, rest, take a bath, a walk, whatever you need to provide some comfort to YOU.

I’m struggling to go out lately too - you’re not alone. My landlord sold their property so I have to move tomorrow. I’m scared about not feeling safe and comfortable in the home and neighbourhood that’s got me through the pandemic so far. It’s been brutal. Im hyper focused on my body sensations and feel sick and terrible. I wish I could just snap out of it. I can understand how your Roomie not opening up to you is challenging. When the world outside seems off and scary - it’s so important to feel safe inside. Please know we are here for you.

I just wrote earlier that I have that feeling!! That something is wrong or going to go wrong. So i think I know the feeling you are having.
And best of luck on feeling better and hopefully doing something for yourself will make you feel better!

You're not alone. So much is going in the wrong direction. None being addressed. I'm hoping something changes but can't see the light yet.

It’s the anxiety and low confidence. It’s a bluff.

That and when we don’t have enough mental engagement, social interaction, etc, our minds start filling in those gaps with anxious thoughts which skews our perception of reality sometimes.

gentle empathy. i'm shopping for five and seldom get out of the grocery store for less than $200. that new normal is edging its way toward $300 a trip. then we get to the cock-a-manic interpretations of the residual corona rules.

i still feel safer maintaining social distances. the virus scares me less than ever, but the social changes of this past 2 years are as clear as mud to my beleaguered senses.

It’s just two adults in my house and my groceries are around $200 a week, depending where I go. I feel like certain things are definitely getting more expensive. But I feel like my overall grocery spending has predominantly increased because we eat out less since the whole COVID thing. So that money saved there is spent on more groceries since we eat at home more now.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
