Past week or so...

I've been pretty much managing my anxiety as best as I know how to. Since yesterday, it has almost been unbearable to handle! Heart is pounding, cannot catch my breath. I'm so tired of feeling sick, tired, depressed. 😣 Electric company is working on the lines so I'm forced to get out of the house and find something to do. Blessing in disguise? I'm currently not medicated for anything other than my thyroid issues. My husband's boss gave him a few Xanax for me early last year. I honestly feel like a quarter of one truly helps me relax, and breathe when I cannot chill out myself. However, I hate feeling that a pill needs to control me, and my 'happiness'. I'm stuck on this right now because I do not know what the right thing to do is anymore. Either way, I'm up, showered, dressed going to get out of the house and try to enjoy a little bit of this beautiful Florida sunny day. I genuinely hope you all are doing ok and know that I'm here for you if you need someone. Hugs ☺💜

Have a great day! You got this! Sunshine can be so wonderful for the soul. I will be praying for you!

My little thyroid/anxiety girl is home sick....wants me to text her from work because she is scared. A friend sent me an article on "tapping"...and I can see where that might help. Just thought I'd mention it as something to look at if you haven't heard of it as a management tool.

Hmm I've never heard of that, will have to research that. Thanks again, I'll sure try to enjoy the day. I sure hope your daughter feels better!

I’m so sorry you are going through the horrible anxiety. Sounds like me; had the worst panic attack today that felt like I was in a dream while dropping kiddos off st school. I thought I was going to loose my mind.

I get why you don’t want to have to rely on a pill to feel calmness or happiness but I don’t think it’s always a bad thing either.

So how was your day in the sun?

I think that day was pretty good. Car ride, fresh air, took the dogs to run and play fetch. I started doing geocaching that was a little adventure added to my day. Thanks for asking 😊
