Anxiety Support Group
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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I am literally dragging my feet about taking a trip today to visit my family 2000 miles away. My last trip home was in August and it was a disaster because everyone we visited got COVID. I had extreme anxiety by the time we returned home.
I feel nauseous and tired and am dreadibg the flight. I feel like canceling this trip. I am afraid that being there will make me really anxious because of what happened last trip. My mom says she thinks it will be a healing trip for me as everyone is healthy and fine.
Gentle support needed. Thanks!

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.

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.
You will heal and see that it's changed from the last visit.
Stop thinking and start doing, moving around and keeping your focus on calm.
You've got the strength to improve your balance!
steadying support while you stretch your own comfort zone. i hope your mama is right and that it will all be okay. mamas have been known to be right on occasion, even on facebook.
I want to see my family and hug my mom. Her 82 birthday is Monday and we are celebrating her in Saturday. I am thrilled to be able yo be with her this year for her bday. We spent all holidays together until my husband and I moved about 5 years ago to help his elderly parents.
I also cannot wait to hug my sister, my oldest daughter, my SIL, and my three grandsons.
I really appreciate your support!
You got this. Wishing you all kinds of luck
So far I am just taking it a day at a time. It is rainy and cold today so we went to the library to borrow several DVDs. I took a nice afternoon nap. I am pushing through my anxiety, trying to make some nice memories with my mom and sister. Tomorrow I will see my brother-in-law for a short visit and in the late afternoon my son-in-law will pick me up to take me to his and my daughter’s house for the weekend. I cannot wait to see my three grandsons.
My only worry is that early mornings are really hard for me and I know the boys get up EARLY! Any suggestions on getting past that nauseous tired morning feeling?
Thanks!
my own gk's love it when i go drama queen over the rough spots. deliberately allowing myself to exaggerate my symptoms allows me to validate and vent the emotions attached while keeping a sense of humor about the harsh realities.
