High Anxiety Today

[Maxiomargie]

Hi everyone.

I'd been doing OK for a few weeks, but this morning I woke up with such anxiety. I just hate that "buzzy" feeling. I know where it's coming from though. I work in a school and we just had winter break, so Monday is our first day back. The break time is awesome, but it's sooo hard to go back. I know I'm projecting and should just enjoy the weekend, but it's almost impossible. I'm on medication, but the mornings are the worst no matter what. That's why I'm writing... I find it helps somehow. I'm going to give myself another 20 minutes (let the meds kick in) and then get up and start moving. It's always good when I'm busy. Thanks for listening. It's good to have someplace like this to go to; I don't feel so alone.

Regards to all,

Maxine

glad you are writing and sharing, it is cathartic and takes some of the power out of our fears I feel. Keep sharing...

Yes, for me writing does take some of the power away from the fear. You're right on point.

Sharing is good for you - but it also gives a sense of comfort to others, so they know they're not the only ones struggling

Thanks. I do want people to know that they aren't alone in this. It boggles my mind that there are some many people suffering - some silently - from A&D. This is a great support group.

I couldn't agree more.
