My summer has not been as good as it has in the past. My anxiety has peaked bad this year. I am so anxious that we are going to get this nasty 72 hrs bug that has been going around. Apparently it goes for 24 to 72 hours abd I have 6 people in my house now! I hate this. Mom has surgery next week and she cant afford to be sick and my dad exposed us to it! The guy was down for 2 days and couldn't keep anything down. My friend had it for 24 hrs. I hope that no here gets it. I am also not sleeping very well so that is not helping. I am so tired of feeling this way. I am so sad about my anxiety controlling my life and my thoughts. I wish I could stop it light I can stop my tears or something. I am so tired. I just want to sleep and forget that I have anxiety.

Hi

I will keep my fingers crossed that you don't get this virus.

Anxiety is very tiring and can really take it out of you so do all you can to reduce your anxiety by using self help.

Have you tried Valerian Root for sleep?

Hi SFGB,

I am sorry you are going through this fear. I understand, as the stomach flu is dreaded by many!

My husband had it not too long ago...and with careful cleaning and hygiene procedures...neither my daughter or I got it.

It is not as easily to catch as a cold...so if you keep surfaces wiped down with a bleach based spray, and wash your hands every time you use the restroom, before you eat...and after touching common areas (fridge handle, door handles, phones, computer, ect...) you should be fine.

Use your coping skills and keep positive...you have a lot going on currently. Wishing you all good health...and well wishes for your mom and her upcoming surgery!

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.:)

Hibee- My doc has me on a sleeping pill and I do take them. I have tried some things for sleep but nothing seems to work. My anxiety has been high since we put our dog down on the fifth of this month. I miss her like crazy. I just dont know why all of this anxiety. I am just down now because once again my life feels black because of this. I am bot going to curl up and lay in bed like I have been in the past though. I have to stop this sill fear in its tracks and now. So I am up and around and doing things to make myself stop this stupidity.

Thank you S.C for the encouragement

I have a ton of left over energy from my high anxiety but its not anxious energy. This is like I got good news and I am excited energy. I am so tired and oh so relaxed after yesterday. Thanks again everyone for the support.

I hope you continue to stay relaxed and feel your best...I am sure this has passed for now...

...and you are stronger than ever for having gotten through it! :)

Keep up the great work!

Thank you S.C

I have been doing good all day. I have eaten and I feel awesome! I am sore from all of the tension yesterday but I am all good. I am sure tired though. Lol. I have been doing my journals again and that will help. Hope all of you are good.

Well my anxiety is up but not high. It seems strange really as there is no reason for it. I am sure since I was up until 4am! That is why. I did get up at 10am. Not good. I have just been lazy all day and not wanting to do a whole lot. I am super tired and I believe that I am overly tired and this is the reason for my spike. I will go to bed in the pm not the am today. Lol have a good night all.

Oh yes, definitely try and get to bed early! I know my anxiety is opportunistic and will get to me when I am down, i.e., tired, sad, ill...ect.

Did you stay up late on purpose? Or did you have insomnia?

I hope you can sleep well tonight and make up for the lost sleep...waking refreshed and calm tomorrow!
