How did you handle your day today? Were you able to manage the triggers that would normally cause an onset of anxiety? What are a few coping skills you use to help with preventing one and/or handling an attack right away? Remember you're loved, hugs xx 💜

Well, I don't know if I have coping skills and I am old, Just living day by day.

I handled it not so well some parts but in other ways I could deal. But I usually try not to give into the feeling and just know it will pass. I had a meltdown today because this whole anxiety process is going so slow and it’s making me angry that I’m not getting better right away and faster than I should be. I also keep getting this super irritating sensation in my neck and anything that annoys me triggers it!! I hate it so much I want it to go away I’ve had it for the past couple days and I haven’t even had it in months and it suddenly came back

Oh wow, I didn't know that could happen during an anxiety attack. Pain anywhere sucks 😣 did you figure out what your triggers may be and how to prevent it as much as you can? As far as your neck can you describe what's happening, how does it feel? Hugs 💜

I had a success and a failure yesterday. I walked to the store and got some much needed household things. I didn't have my calming music because I broke my last pair of ear buds. But i made it.

But then there was an annual Home owners association meeting, to which I didn't go. I couldn't make myself go. I agonized over it. A neighbor even called and asked if I was going. But I couldn't do it. They make me too angry.

I'm proud that you recognize even the smallest of successes because to someone with anxiety it's a big feat to do the littlest tasks! I feel you on the meeting first being around lots of people, no thank you. But then face to face with some neighbors you'd normally want to throat punch (lol). Baby steps 😊
