The past week has been full of minor hassles and bed days At work and things like that . We got all geared up for hurricane Florence but we're blessed that it didn't hit this area . But past few days I've found that I'm anxious And feeling generally twitchy and I don't know why. There's nothing big on the horizon that can hurt me and all of my problems have been minor. Up until this past week I was doing great sailing along with a smile on my face but I guess this is the nature of anxiety and depression. It will come back when you least expect it but I know that It will leave again too. I need to just keep repeating to myself things will get better I have face worse than this and come out on the other side. This is just a bump in the road. Thanks for listening to me.

this is wonderful words and i agree with that: " I need to just keep repeating to myself things will get better I have face worse than this and come out on the other side. This is just a bump in the road." You said it the best way yourself.

It does come sometimes unexpectedly as a wave...but just acknowledge it is there, it is ok, and keep going. It will be gone then soon. If you focus on anxiety and try to shake it ...for me it is worse. You can do things which help: walking, music, meditation, anything what helps you...Or do nothing but don't be judgmental toward yourself...just be gentle.

Hugs to you!

Thank you! Sometimes I get caught up in my own thoughts and go round and round.

Very familiar to me as well. Dealing with this right now actually. Sometimes I have to write down those thoughts and it helps me to get rid of them. Or see them in different light.

Not here, I mean, in your own journal even, for yourself only, if it is something you don’t want to share.

Sadly, that’s the nature of dealing with emotions like anxiety and depression: they can bring you down from anywhere. Have you seen a change in the wake of the hurricanes lately?

No, that doesn't seem to be a factor.

I’m sorry to hear that it’s persisting despite that, then. Have you found anything recently that helps in any way?
