I cannot understand it. I hate feeling this way. It seems to come from nowhere. Then I try to sit and think about all the crapola going on and it is a wonder we all have not gone completely insane.

After I think about being sick, going through peri, the economy, the sadness the economy is creating, the fear it is creating. I worry about where every penny is coming from and going to.

All of this fuels the already present anxiety that is from peri and PTSD. I worry the disease will leave my children motherless and my hubby to do all of this alone.

I do my best to refrain from thinking about all of this stuff on a daily basis but it seems myh mind gets weak and all this other stuff just creeps in and knocks me off my feet. I get the overwhelming rubbery legs that feel as though they wont hold me up. The dizzies whether I am standing or sitting.

I am just venting but I have to get it out somehow. I dont want to be a downer but I feel like I will just bust. Sometimes my head feels like a pressurized can that is overheated and ready to explode.

Today is just a blue day. Thank you for reading and listening. Tomorrow is a new day and will be a better in the Lord.

Hugs to you,
Jeaninne

Wishing you the best!

I felt just like you earlier today. It was beautiful outside and I was wandering around the house, trying to decide what I could do to feel better. I ended up going to Pier One just to browse. It's just up the road from me and I knew they were having some crazy markdowns. My daughter went with me and we just took our time looking, picking up beautiful things, smelling the candles, etc. I ended up buying two of them. I spent a whole $2.98 and felt SOOOOO much better when we left!!

Sometimes it doesn't take much to brighten an otherwise depressing day. I sincerely hope yours gets better too!!

Seems alot of us are having "that kind of DAY". Me too. It started well, I felt good and by noon I was tired, anxious, wanting to cry. No reason of course. I ended up going with hubby to the Army Surplus store just to get out. Wish i'd of gone to Pier 1 would have been alot more fun. Hubby is going out of town later next week and I always get even worse . I hate being alone any more.Glad I have all of you.

Jeaninne, I don't know but when you figure it out, would you please let me know?? I have the feeling of a lump in my throat today after a very anxious day yesterday and it's about to drive me crazy. My mind has been flipping wildly from one thing to the next within a matter of seconds and I am so utterly tired of it. But.... with that being said, when you are in the throes of it, it is almost unbearable, but then there is a new day where things are better and I am good. I dont understand it all. Sure wish I did. Hang in there, you are not alone.

Oh I am right there with you!! Anxiety come crashing out of nowhere and lands squarely on my head! Everything worries me one day and then the next day I haven't a care it seems. I get dizzy just thinking about it! THis morning I read a short article on women's heart attack symptoms and have been convinced all day that every little twinge will turn into a heart attack. I know I have no OFF switch.....sometimes I have an automatic "dimmer switch"- I guess I immerse my mind in something else and that helps- Glad we are all together on this crazy ride! I too need a breather from the anxiety today! (((BIG HUGS)))

Jeaninne, I know what sudden crushing anxiety is like. And it does seem to come out of nowhere. I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time.

I find that simple distractions work best when I am feeling really anxious. I watch mindless TV, I re-arrange a cupboard, I come to Power Surge for support. Whatever it takes to ease the transition from anxiety to a calmer state.

Hang in my friend. We will all get through this together.

Hugs,
Marcy

You ladies are so wonderful and I love you all. I feel so much better knowing that you are there for me to reach out to. I dont know what I would do if I lost my computer!!!!

Thank you for all of your kind words. I send my prayers to all of you with as many hugs as I can send.

I had a day like that yesterday. You're not alone. My Ativan (anxiolytic) ran out and I was without it for over 24 hours. I started getting the worse withdrawal symptoms. My DH got me the medicine by the afternoon, I took my dose and was fine. There are days when I feel something might happen to me but then I realize that my kids and husband are my life and I want to fight this condition and don't stop until it's all right. Although there may be more bad days than good, I am not giving up. I wouldn't recommend getting on meds because the withdrawals are not easy. Try some natural herbal teas like Chamomile and Tension Tamer and take it 3-5 times daily. Melatonin is good to help you sleep, if you're experiencing this. Good luck to you and my prayers are with you. Tomorrow will surely be a better day. Stay optimistic.

You are all wonderful and I thank God for all of you. I am having severe anxiety lately and thought either I was dying or my husband and son and mom and others were dying and leaving and I would be alone. I don't know why I've been thinking this and feeling this way. It is so reassuring to know that I am not alone on this journey. It can be so scary. Thank you all and God Bless You!! Hope you all have the best day!!
