just ordinary daily anxiety today

we had a number of things go wrong around the house yesterday. my sister was angry it seemed like all day. and i take that on... finally about 7 pm i decided i was through with the day and just went to bed.

today i am feeling normal anxiety about work and other things in my life.

i have seen a raccoon and a rabbit in the back yard the last couple of weeks. that makes me anxious as i have never encountered them before.

there is lots of work on my desk at my job. but i have finally learned to slow down and not stress myself out.

thanks to the people on here who have answered my messages over the past few months and offered support and been willing to listen to (read) my problems.

love,

Rr,

I too am glad to hear that you are getting more adept at using your coping skills, slowing down and accepting that you can only do as much as you can do in regards to work...well done!

I am sorry that yesterday was a stressful one for you at home. It is hard for me as well to not take on the anger and negative emotions of others...it is jus in the nature of sensitive people to do so. We empathize so much with how others feel...but it can become too burdensome for us...

...so trying your best to not let other's moods color your own is a good goal to have. :)

Wishing you peace and progress today!
