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.

Hello all,
Has anyone else been feeling more anxious this past week or two? I feel like my whole system is out of wack and I just feel like I'm on the verge of something terrible happening when I have no evidence of such a thing happening. Is that just distorted thoughts and forecasting going on? I was starting to feel better, getting into some coloring with my new color pencil set and trying my hand at drawing as of late on one hand and doing nothing on the other. I just don't understand this anxiety at all.
Do You? Have You gained any insights into overcoming all this and getting on with what you CAN do while you have all this time? I feel like I'm having to work so hard to get myself going lately where I was getting along and picking up more fun things to do a few weeks ago. It's like one step forward and two steps back with this anxiety thing. So frustrating.
I did manage to get cleaned up and cut my hair today after deciding my priority today had to be a little self-care and some TLC. It feels so good to have my hair shorter now with all the heat of Summer starting this weekend.
I wish you all Peace & Joy during this strange time!

Yes, I stopped watching the news when this whole virus thing started and most-watched shows on my Roku on the Hulu channel with no commercials, but now shows regarding the virus are everywhere.
I've been buying DVD's to watch when the shows on the TV get to be too much.

Ugh, having Anxiety every other day that kind of sucks. Yes, I've tried deep breathing and living in the now, but my anxiety usually starts within 5 minutes of waking up in the morning so it's hard to cope with once that cortisol hits my nervous system.
Thanks, yes this anxiety is awful to be sure. I'm hoping I can cope with it better soon too :D
Take Care & Be Well,
