- It's been a little while since I've posted and things have been... eventful? First a crazy spring snow storm. So, we went from nice, warm spring days back to winter in a matter of 24 hours. It's snowed twice since the storm and continues to be gray...
- We are in the middle of college acceptances for my oldest and she has now been accepted to schools on both coasts, whereas we live in the Rocky Mountains. The thought of my "little girl" moving off fills me with fear and sadness. I'm trying to...
- We're heading up to the mountains today for a long-weekend getaway, and anxiety has decided that it wants in on the fun. I've gotten much better over the past several months of recognizing anxiety for what it is... thoughts and feelings that, in...
- As the pandemic continues to drag on, the separation from friend, acquaintances, co-workers, etc means the sense of isolation for myself and my family isn't really going anywhere. My kids are able to socialize a bit with a small handful of friends,...
- An unfortunate reflexive behavior I've developed over the years it to either equate uncomfortable with anxious or to believe that being uncomfortable will lead to feeling anxious. I grew up in a family that did not really express emotions, so...
- I know the "what you resist persist" saying, and that I could try to be grateful when these feelings come because they give me a chance to work with them, but man do I not like feeling this way. I don't feel awful, but I get stucking thinking...
- First off, I just want to say that my family has been healthy through all of this, and for that I am grateful. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones or who have had to deal with illness.That said, my heart breaks when I see the toll...
- Been feeling kind of anxious and out of sorts for most of the day today. It's my b-day, and I guess I had expectations for what that meant, but I'm not really sure what those expectations were, so that's had me kind of disoriented and confused for...
- Well, not completely sleepless, but I woke up at some point and my mind decided it had things to think about. I wasn't even thinking about anything, just song lyrics repeating in my head, tv shows, lots of just random nonsense. Eventually anxiety...
- I've been on vacation for pretty much the past week and, given the times we are living in, that has meant hanging out at home... the classic staycation. It's been good. I've had time to relax, to take care of things around the house, to hang out...
- Woke up feeling a bit anxious this morning. Nothing overwhelming, but definitely there. I laid and focused on deep breathing for a while as I continued to slowly wake up. Then, as I was journaling, I thought that I could use the anxiety. Something...
- Hey all. Haven't been around for a while because, honestly, I've been feeling really good. Then yesterday afternoon/evening I started feeling not so good... upset stomach, tired, achy. I think that triggered some anxiety. I tried to rest for a while...
- My son finally opened up to me last night about the stress he's been feeling lately with online school and the new set of classes he just started. He's really stressed and he's getting anxious about it. He has dealt with pretty severe anxiety in...
- That's a horrible subject, but I didn't really know what else to put... I was reading another post and people talking about their GAD diagnosis (which I also have) and how dealing with anxiety is just an on-going thing in people's lives. That got me...
- Things have been going pretty well for me lately. I've strung together a number of good days in a row, but this morning slapped me around pretty good. Little background, I was having a pretty awesome weekend until around 5pm on Sunday when I talked...
