just anxious today about work - tough tasks (for me) that need doing. i'm also house-sitting and dog-sitting and i keep being afraid something bad is going to happen.

getting up and getting ready for work was extra hard this morning. i had to drag myself through it but i guess at least i know i will do it, even though it's hard.

i try to believe in a Higher Power and seem to only turn to him when things get extra hard. So my 12-step recovery is not very strong.

Thanks for listening,
Rich

also i just feel like i'm going nuts. afraid of having some sort of breakdown at work. acting nutty or doing something that get me in trouble.

i want to scream to someone, anyone, and tell them i am feeling really nutty.

i get worried those close to me are tired of hearing about me and my anxiety.

i noticed yesterday that i can isolate myself even at work. just not talking to many people, staying at my desk and working constantly. i need to find people i can chat with.

but most of all this fear of going nuts and wanting to SCREAM.

Sorry you are feeling bad again. Few people can understand or give my understanding for very long...

Posting here helps a bit...

It's like a sort of personal reflection, even if few respond.

I've been reading your posts for a long time, BTW, just recently signed up. Deep breath, you WILL be ok...

Sorry you're struggling right now display, I know about the nutty thing. It's a horrible and weird feeling. I get that when I'm with my husband sometimes and I worry I'll do something to make him think I'm mad. Sending hugs, you can get through this. It is too easy to isolate yourself, I am guilty of doing this. Sometimes I just want to be alone.

Try natural slow breathing and the deep slow breathing several times each day. Practice natural breathing for a period of at least 4 minutes, 4 times a day. The object is to train yourself to breathe from your diaphragm most of the time.

 

Don't forget to practice positive self-talk.

 

Kindly,

Kitt
