I Have Anxiety

Yeah, it’s back. I was afraid that being stuck at home 99% of the time, and not getting to go anywhere, might trigger my anxiety. It’s always there, even if it lies dormant sometimes.

I started to feel a little down a few days ago. I think it was deciding to endure a bit more argument than I can normally tolerate on one of my questions here.

I used to have panic attacks years ago...so I can relate to what you are feeling. Panic is just fight or flight. If you do some hard, violent exercise when you start to feel that way,it uses up the adrenaline that is causing you to feel that way.

Exercise videos are available with most television services.
I'm trying to stay away from the national news as much as I can,distract myself as much as I can,I'm taking more walks with my dog,watching you tube. Nighttime is no fun cuz I like awake but I'm hanging in,trusting that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just hang in there,sweetie!

🤗 I wish there was a way to put a description to what I have felt the past two days. It’s like a roller coaster of despair, fear, grief, depression, euphoria and anxiety.

@SageWanderer It is so weird. Like I feel I should be doing something. Or I should be somewhere.

With all the focus on the virus, there are going to be loads of other casualties.

@msros I know. This is a worldwide mental health crisis - as well as physical health and economic.

I try to stop myself from complaining by remembering that people have gone through worse things than this - like WWII. But then I think - we mostly hear about the heroes from that time, the people who handled it well. There must have been hundreds of thousands of people whose mental health was permanently damaged by WWII.
I can totally relate. I’ve been staying away from the news, checking in with loved ones and spending time doing puzzles to occupy my mind. 🤗

Yes. I am struggling so bad. Sending big hugs your way. I understand.
