Anxiety and my thoughts on mine

I'm starting to see a pattern with my anxiety. I worry about health and hospital appointments more than anything else. If I have to deal with anything health related I have racing thoughts and panic. I now have to give myself rest days wherein I choose not to deal with things. Just to stop myself from feeling overwhelmed. If I need to make a phone call it can wait until tomorrow if I've already dealt with allot today. Because otherwise I try to do everything right now and then feel ill. The only problem I have with this is that thing then bugs me until I've done it. I worry about what I should say and I rehearse it over and over in my head. Having anxiety is to live your life inside your head. It's as if I have this need to get out of my head. I often journal random thoughts to try to get them out of my head. They are not necessarily anxious thoughts, just anything really. I always need a distraction from the monotony of the anxious thoughts. One thing I love to do is look at different fashion styles, lately on tik tok. I can get lost on there for a while and its a great distraction. I want to do more crafts and reading but on the worst days I just can't sit and concentrate. Atleast with tik tok I can walk around and watch until I calm down.
Geez I feel this…

I wonder how much of your life you’ve spent giving and being there for family or work.

I think you’re doing the right thing taking rest. Nobody really knows how to rest anymore and if we do we feel lazy. Rest and focus are as human as anxiety, so please don’t feel bad for what doesn’t get done.

I force myself to do art. Doesn’t always work out, but I think it helps my mind to know I’m not giving up.

I wish you well. We each hold our own key. Much love and peace 🤍🖤

@BrokenAbyss hi there I don't work due to anxiety and other health issues. I am there for family though especially my elderly Mother. I think I need to try doing more art. Thanks for the suggestion. Much love and peace to you also.
