I feel like I'm sinking down

Hi Lunardance,

I do know how you feel. But mine is like I am at a loss for something, I don't even know what that something is. So today I am going out with a friend. I am very anxious about it. I don't know why, maybe because I rarely go anywhere. But it is in the pit of my stomache. I am sure that this will pass as with yours. We have to have faith that we are going to feel better. I know that it is hard, but we have to do it.

It is a nice summer's day here too. I am so in discust that it is hard to enjoy. And at the anxiety that I am experiencing. It is so much easier to just stay home for me. I am waiting for the phone to ring. She is suppose to call me before she picks me up. That alone scares me. I could so easily just go to bed.

We have to appreciate the good things in life as much as we can. Just the experience of joy. And one minute at a time. And I guess that we both have to work on that. I should be thankful that I can see this summer day. There are many of us who can't. To smell the air outside, to hear the birds. I think if we both slow our minds down, we can experience the good things in life. Count our blessings. You know the drill and so do I.

So let's both try to be happy and thankful for what we have.

Hugs, Karen

Hey Lunardance,
I totally know what you mean. I try and explain it to my husband by telling him I feel like my body weighs a thousand pounds. I feel like I cant move or be happy. Today is definately one of those days for me. So perhaps we are in the same boat.
Just to let you know, you are a brilliant writer. Have you ever thought about writing your feelings down? Or even writing a book, your descriptions were so vivid. (I am an avid reader) So I hope you are feeling better today. Let us know how it's going.
Note to all: I am usually on the A/P threads but I am dropping in to say hello here. I feel depressed and I thought maybe yall could help.

You are welcome in any forum so please do look at other forums for help too.  Most people with chronic illnesses have anxiety and/or depression.
