Weekly Check In

This week has been really hard for me. The news has me pretty worked up and triggered my health anxiety, which had gotten so much better before, but I'm not sure how to reel it in again with all of the frightening media. I know that this all feels extra heavy for me as I recently had some minor and uncomfortable procedures done, a family member passed (the 3rd in 6 months), am dealing with some family drama due to one of my siblings, I'm worried about my son's upcoming oral surgery, and everything is compounded by the discomfort and emotional rollercoaster of my menstrual period.
I am trying to stay grounded with reading, baths, small pleasures, and am also taking my .25mg of Xanax daily (for the last 3 days).

Hi Medved

Sorry to hear you are having a tough week.

SC is having a break she has a lot on at the moment i'm sure she will be back.

Hibee

Thanks so much, HB.
I sincerely wish for healing and joyful peace for all of us. Things are not easy for anyone and can be that much harder when you have anxiety or any other illness to deal with on top of daily life. I'm trying to remind myself that even though things have been difficult for a few months now, I had a few months where I had been feeling pretty good. I will eventually feel better again!
