- Taking a trip overseas in a week and I'm starting to feel some anticipatory anxiety about it. At times I'm excited and looking forward to it and then there are the times that I get nervous and started feeling anxious. I know excited and anxious can...
- Just got home last night from a vacation and it was a weird mixed bag that still hasn't quit. It was the first trip my wife and I took without the kids in I don't know how long. We got down there okay, and then my wife got COVID the next day. So,...
- I have posted in quite some time. Things have been going well. Life has not been easy all the time, but I've been coping with it and been doing pretty good. That said, I'm flying across the country by myself tomorrow to visit my aging parents and...
- After several reprieves/delays it finally happened... We moved my oldest child into her dorm yesterday. It's weird, she's taken trips with friends to places much further away than the university is, and she's been gone for less than 24 hours, but I...
- It's been a while since I've posted here, though I've been looking through posts from time to time. Life has been busy and good.My daughter moves on to campus in a week. I've got lots of feelings about that, and anxiety is one of them, but I'm...
- After 20 months, they've reopened our office. I'm only going back twice a week and not even for full days, but it's weird and stressful going back. I went in Tuesday. Not many people there, but I did sit in a room with some coworkers for meetings...
- I find these dark mornings to be kind of triggering. In the summer I'll wake up, make my coffee, then sit in the back yard and listen to the birds and watch joggers on the trail behind my house and just enjoy the morning. Now I find myself sitting...
- Dropped off my wife and daughter at the airport this morning for the little get-away. Pretty much as expected, most of the anxiety I was feeling about it yesterday has faded away. I'm pretty pleased with the way I handled things... acknowledged the...
- The last few morning I've woken up feeling anxious. This morning I was finally able to accept, or maybe just put the obvious 2 and 2 together that it's probably related to the fact that my wife and daughter are going out of town (out of state?, out...
- I'm seeing a friend today who I haven't seen in like 13 years or something. She was a really good friend... she was actually the best woman at my wedding. But, like so often happens, we drifted apart, our lives took difference courses and we stopped...
- I woke up yesterday after a good night sleep which did include a bunch of weird dreams about work and past jobs and coworkers. Anyway, I woke up and my mind was just spinning and my whole body ached. I could feel the physical symptoms of anxiety...
- I've noticed over the past few months that physical sensations in my mind can be triggering. It's mostly the result of working out... A day or two after a workout, I'll feel muscle soreness, particularly in my chest or traps/upper back, which my...
- Feeling anxious this morning in a way that I haven't for a while. I've been no great about my self care the past couple days, which is probably contributing to me feeling this way, and then there is just anxiety being anxiety. I'm feeling it in my...
- The last few days have been really good, but really tough. My daughter graduates from high school. I'm beyond proud of her and I'm so excited for her, but it's bittersweet because the next chapter of her life is going to take her off to new places...
- My wife and daughter are heading out to Cali today to check out one of the schools my daughter might go to. They're only going for a long weekend, but I've got some anticipatory anxiety going because of it. We haven't been apart like this for a long...
