New day

[Dogmom55]

Well this weekend is almost over again... Had a good day yesterday then suddenly started to have the muscle twitch in my face and my health anxiety went crazy... Almost went to ER but went to my parents first and they calmed me down.... I can tell everyone in my life is tried of my health anxiety... It's like they all think I enjoy living this way.... When all I wish I could do is get out of my head and thoughts! I'm just exhausted.... But I'm going to try this week to be more positive so today is a new day and it will be a good day!!!!

Mornin, Dogmom 55. I wish I could be there personally to help calm you down. A walk or morning soak in some sun is usually calming. You might try some magnesium citrate. I take 125 mgs 3X per day and it helps. Have you had your Vit D checked? A serious deficiency of that will raise your anxiety level. I love talking to anyone I can when I'm feeling anxious. Starrlight is a good person to talk to. She's going through a rough spell and could use the comradery. You're a beautiful, worthy person who has a whole community of support here. I know, I'm always just a message away. Sending you a kazillion happy, peaceful & healing vibes right now. Lots of love from JEG 325.

Thank you! It really has helped being able to talk to others on here! My vitamin d is always low at my physical. I go in two weeks for my annual so they will test that again. I take a daily vitamin d supplement but maybe it's not enough. I have not taken the magnesium citrate! I will look into that!

Love you, beautiful woman. Look, I bought my own over the counter vit D-3. My level was near critically low. I use 5,000iu tablets and it cost me about $11 at krogers. I break them in half and take the largest piece at breakfast, an exact half at lunch and the smallest sliver I can find at my 4pm snack. It amount s to about 7,500 IU's per day. I have improved much since then. Here's an odd pice of info for you. I also take 500mgs of Vit C, 3X daily. I ran out the other day and I started feeling shakey, jittery and anxious right away. As soon I started taking it again, I felt better. 'Could just be me. You never know though. Have your potassium checked too. Quite often low D and low potassium go hand in hand. Low magnesium also follows those two a lot. I'm here for you whenever you need someone in your corner. Okay. I'm personally sending you a kazillion happy and peaceful vibes right this minute!

I understand about how family gets tired of us. I can't talk to any of my family about anxiety and depression. My friends help me with that and even then I feel like I'm driving them away.

Yes they will vocalize this to me! My dad told me.last night to just stop thinking things are wrong with me that it's all in my head and he is done with it.... I'm like well don't you think I'd be done with it if I could be!

Oh yes! I've heard that! "Just stop being so negative." That was sooo helpful. (SARCASM)
