Just curious to see how everybody's routine changes when they're in the middle of a bad anxiety cycle. I tend to surround myself with friends as often as possible. Tonight my girlfriend is cooking for a group of us and we're gonna watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune and make fun of each others' ridiculous answers and frustration. lol turn

When I'm in the midst of a bad cycle evrything changes for the worst. I don't want to be around anybody other that my hubby and kids. I become really irritable towards people and I stay in my room for the most part. I only go out if I have to go to the market or appts and sometimes I cancel those. I think its great that you are able to have friends over while your anxiety is high I wish I could be like that.

I tend to avoid people and hibernate at home as I don't want anyone to see me in an anxious state of mind.

Kindly,

Ditto! I had to beg off so many social events, or just push through them in a miserable state! This was when my anxiety was at it's worse, but I still sometimes just need down time to keep it all together:)

Now I enjoy getting outside and going for walks to relax. I also like to cook a big meal/BBQ on the weekends and just hang with my hubby and daughter.

It is great that you can get out there, have fun and enjoy a distraction...good for you!

Keep up the good work:)

I keep to myself as well, get quiet and don't like to be social at all. I'll usually read or spend more time online to distract myself from how I'm feeling.
