I had a pretty good day today. Went to work had some anxiety about going. i actually got up a half hour early so that I could take a walk before I left. I seeme to need to leave at lunchtime. I feel better when returning. Had some anxiety at work, but seemed to work through it. I hope this is the begining of the "up swing"
I made an appointment at the local mental health agency today. Have come to learn that my grandfather and aunt had anxiety issues.
My issues seem to be related to health. Mine or someone close to me.
I had some issues last year, and that's when the anxiety first became more than I can handle on my own. Then my dad had a heart attack 3 months ago, and I seem to actually be worse now dealing with his situation.
He is okay, back to work, etc.
So why do I jump everytime the phone rings and I know its my mother?????
Crazy!!!!
Thanks to those who responded to my journal and my questions last evening. It's nice to talk to others who are living with the same thing

Have a great night all!!!

Walking really helps me, before, during and after an attack. My boss knows about my anxiety and from time to time, I walk around the parking lot just to calm my nerves....maybe when you are at work this might help?
