Too much Aniexity today.

I'm in the same boat. Actually been pretty anxious for a few weeks not but I'm not too bad at the moment. What is causing your anxiety?

I somehow got injured at home and don't know how. I was alone when I can only assume I mus have fell and hit my head and fractured my skull. Then I must have kept falling down to have so many injuries all over from head to toe, back and front. I had a brainbleed putting pressure on my brain. Not knowing scares me to death. I am afraid it will happen again. I get severly depressed.

Some days are high anxiety. You will get through. Try to look after yourself. Get enough sleep, eat properly, get some exercise, focus on doing something, and hopefully, tomorrow will be better. I don't mean to minimize...I know that some days can be very hard. I didn't get enough sleep last night and woke up with anxious thoughts about several frightening things to do with violence. They had not happened to me, but the fact is that with anxiety, we often just don't feel safe, and are hyper-sensitive to all kinds of things, including some of the scary things that go on in the world. I actively try to focus on positive things and images and on doing something productive, however small, in the here and now, and take breaks to do calm breathing, listen to calming music, walk and pray. I limit my exposure to the news and never watch scary or frightening movies because the images stay stuck in my head. Despite a difficult day, my anxiety has lessened this evening and I feel relatively calm. It passes eventually - it always passes eventually, and you will have periods of calm and peace. Eventually, those periods of calm and peace will become more frequent and last longer, until one day, anxiety will not be a big issue any more. I sincerely hope that tomorrow is a better day for you.
