Today things are not going well for me. I feel extremely agitated and my mind is racing. My anxiety is bad. Feels like I'm spinning out of control and busy going crazy. My heart is beating like crazy and I feel so aggressive. I'm trying to take deep breaths. What else can I do?

Hi Charmy,

I'm sorry for the way you feeling.

Did something or someone trigger this? If this is the case, please sure to keep a record of it or add it to you list of stressors, so when you feel better you can develop a plan on how to handle it. I keep a journal sometimes.

I would suggest you write your feelings. Do you keep a journal? This helps. Write down down thoughts, feelings, everything. Getting it out by writing can help you to feel better.

If you feel like you have energy, talk a walk. This may help cool and slows your things down. Walking can release any pent-up energy so you can approach the situation with a cooler head.

If possible, maybe you can get out a bit today. Do something nice to get your mind off things. Maybe a nice massage or movie.

I hope you will feel better.

I hope you can escape your daily responsibilities and do something nice for yourself to feel better and calm down. Hate that feeling.

I am doing a bit better today although I am worried. My husband is having trouble at work. Not enough sales coming through this time of the year. His boss is very unhappy about this. He's in a meeting with the boss right now. I am afraid that he might be laid off. This is very stressful for both of us. All I can do is hope and pray that all will go well. Please pray for us. Glad that it's weekend so that I can relax and do something nice. I know that this job situation was my trigger yesterday. I totally lost it. Was so exhausted and drained by the time I went to bed. Felt as if I had run a marathon. Weather is cooler today. Will go for a walk later. Watching a nature programme on the tv at the moment. Have a good weekend all! Speak to you soon.

Keeping you in my prayers.
