My anxiety is high

     My anxiety & stress is very heightened tonight (I mean it usually always is which is probably so bad for my body.) But tonight it’s extra bad. I have so many stressful things going on, PTSD starts to get worse for me in these coming couple months because it reminds me of really bad stuff (anniversaries I guess is the word), also my health, doctors, trying to get someone to care about my chronic pain & injuries & a doctor that cares, ect. ect. ect. I’m so stressed. Sorry if I’m rambling, I’m trying to collect my thoughts, my thoughts are going from speeding from stress to nothing from dissociation. I txtd my trauma therapist to see if we can have a phone appointment soon because they are still closed because the virus & she said yes for Friday. 


                       Because both my jaw problems & high high anxiety I haven’t eaten in days which is bad because I’m a small woman as it is & I’m taking medicine on empty stomach & shaky. 


                        Am I going to be screwed up forever ? 


Damaged goods ?


Sorry for the sad posts. I want to reach out for support but then feel so bad to hurt other people with my sad words.

This is literally my first post here , and yet i do not think it would be possible for me to have come across another one in which i so thoroughly and sincerely empathize. I suffer from the exact same disorders and the exact feeling of as if i am rambling and no one really wants to hear it. I just lost the love of my life b/c of my mental illness, and i also suffer severe chronic pain, so, i get you and if you ever want to talk to somebody, hit me up. I feel like you have a kindred spirit in me.

I understand, because my body also is affected from what I went through. The last few weeks has been hard for me but I just want to encourage you lilmiss that you are not alone. It is easy said than down BUT you aren't. I have been doing less than what I need to do and resting a lot. Sometimes staying in my nightgown and under my blanket just watching or listening to the TV is all I can do. Lilmiss, I am so proud of you because you are here and you are trying and doing your best with what you have. I am happy you post.

Thank you guys so much for your support, words & kindness it means a lot to me
I meant to write back sooner, just had a heck of a week with migraines, fibro & arthritis flares & unfortunately had to pop my jaw back in. This is the first day I can get outta bed a little bit so I’m taking it slow

Big hugs <3

    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.
