Got out a bit today

[Gillyflower18]

Beautiful day today. Made myself go out and do a bit of grocery shopping. Stopped by the church for a little quiet contemplation. I’ve been so completely inactive and tied up in knots that this little excursion completely did me in. I’ve been so tired I’ve been yawning all afternoon. I can’t sleep when it’s light so I’m just trying to make it to bedtime. It’s amazing how a period of anxiety and depression can completely sap your strength! My work always kept me very active physically and I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up when I go back at the end of the week. I’m both glad and deathly afraid of going back if that makes sense. I work with great people so at least I won’t be alone but it worries me anyway.

I understand what you mean. My depression and anxiety always drain my energy. Battling through a bout of depression the last couple weeks, and I feel the same way.

That’s wonderful you got out! Yes my anxiety and depression saps my strength too. Plenty of sleep, nutrition, exercise, vitamins, prayer time alone is so important for me to keep myself balanced.

First time I’ve actually been in church for weeks. I have a hard time with the noise of regular services right now but chapel is very quiet with only a few people. Great place for anxious people like me . Sun was streaming the windows and it was nice and warm.

It's wonderful you got out a bit. There is nothing more healing than some sun and fresh air. Keep up the good work. I think you will be fine when you get back to work. Stopping into church was the icing on the cake. I always turn to God when at my lowest points. He does lift me up. I will be rooting for you and more importantly praying for you.
