Hi everyone 💛 How are you all? My anxiety has been pretty bad... we are going to my in laws next weekend. It's a long car ride & they live in the middle of no where. My health anxiety is through the roof. My husband doesn't get it, keeps saying everything is going to be okay. My therapist says I have to trust I'll be okay away from my safe place. To pack a Mel's anxiety pack, remember my breathing and grounding exercises. It's a big step, first trip since it got super bad. My in laws don't know the full story. Don't be surprise if I'm around more.

On some hopefully good news, my second interview Thursday. I really hope I get it, so ready to leave my current job. My coworker basically blame me for her being a bad employee. That I do it all... by choice. This lady has her blue tooth on all day at the store. Watches shows/movies on her phone, paints her nails, talks on her phone all while on the clock. I've told my manager about this, she doesn't care. I'm tried of being the only one who does there. Ready to be somewhere where I'm respected, no drama. Right now I don't need added stress. Thank you for listening.💛

I get really bad anxiety when I have to visit my sister bc she to lives out in the middle of no where with horrible cellphone service but I take hard candies and focus on Counting I remind myself that I am in a home surrounded by people there’s food water lights everything I need if I go outside there is fresh air you just have to practice breathing I also get very back car anxiety I can’t sit in back seats and car rides for long durations make me anxious but again I download some anxiety games on my phone or listen to some music I try to stay up all night to exhaust myself so I just fall asleep hopefully you find something that works for you so you’ll be able to enjoy your time (: I wish you luck and if you need anything just know we are all here

I hope you get the new job!! Job stress is terrible I totally relate. Just keep doing your best, that is all you can do until something else comes along. Try not to worry what other people are doing and just take care of yourself.
