the past several days i have had this constant uneasy feeling - like my stomach is in knots or filled with butterflies. i'm going about my daily routine as always but i feel restless - like i am forgetting something or something is not right. i can't shake this feeling and don't know why.

IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE ANXIETY HON. DO YOU HAVE ANXIETY OR JUST DEPRESSION? DEPRESSION CAN ALSO CAUSE ANXIETY. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT MY DOCTOR HAS TOLD ME. DEPRESSION CAN CAUSE SO MANY THINGS. I'M GOING TO SEND YOU SOME FLOWERS. STOP AND SMELL THEM AND MAYBE A SHORT WALK IF YOUR WEATHER ALLOWS, WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

I usually get an anxious feeling when I'm walking into work, so I depend on my guys there to make me laugh and forget it. I just have to power through it during the drive there and the walk in the door.

However, if yours is constant, I would recommend some exercise, if you can carve out some time. For me, some serious cardio where all I can think of is getting through the session is wonderful for clearing the head and the endorphins released make me feel super good.
