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...
Hello all,
Another night awake late again. It's not that I can't go to sleep it's like I don't want to go to sleep. I enjoy the quiet at night.
But now my Mom is up in the kitchen cooking or something. She's often wakes up in the middle of the night and is in the kitchen cooking or whatever she does.
Still having lots of Anxiety Symptoms and Germaphobia tendencies. But I have a phone appointment with my therapist next Tuesday morning to discuss what's going on because my parents have about had enough.
Anyhoo, such is life :)

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.
Marshal law mandated isolation has most family units in over-exposure mode here in Global Coronaville and has made anxiety-stricken germaphobes out of the most emotionally stable of us. Such is life in The New Normal.
Keep venting here, Goldsky. Prayers in progress for all of us.
Often, this brings about clarity because the other person changes their response and it is usually something else that is affecting their ability to be clear.
Best wishes.
Thank you, Yes we were all thrust into this New Normal whether we wanted to or not. Creating new routines and needs, like Peace & Quiet!
I will keep venting, it's very cathartic and it especially helps to know we aren't alone and learn how others are coping too.
Stay in Touch & Be Well,

Thank you so much. Yes, I'm sure my parents are wanting to help me but aren't sure how to.
I'm glad also that I was able to get a Telephone Appointment with my therapist on Tuesday. I need some skilled advice for sure to manage my anxiety & germaphobia symptoms. It's been better today and yesterday, probably too tired to be anxious, LOL! But, what's hard is that one day I'm fine and the next I'm a nervous wreck. I'd sure like to no more about variances in the biological, physical, and psychological systems and the symptoms it can cause in mood and anxiety. I think it's all interrelated.
It's sometimes hard to see the time in the future when this will be in the rear-view mirror so to speak. I greatly look forward to that day whenever it comes and I will be grateful for each day out and about spent with my friends and extended family. It will be a glorious time for sure.
Take Care & Be Well,

Yes, I talked to my Dad about that. I need to not project my fears of germs onto them. But when your world is being driven by fear, it's difficult.
Take Care & Be Well,

I've tried talking to them, but when I don't know what is going on exactly. I'm hoping I will gain some insight from my therapist next Tuesday.
Yes, maybe this need we have for time alone in peace & quiet is our way of tuning out of what's going on around us and simply BE and give ourselves some much-needed self-care.
Be Well,
goldsky
