Daughter leaving anxiety skyrocketing

[Strongest123]

Hello everyone. Hope everyone is having a good day or rather has had a great day. I’ve been retired since last year and I spend a lot of time with my little girl, who I absolutely adore. She’s my only one, her mom and I divorced before she turned 2 years. I’ve noticed that lately my anxiety has been pretty elevated. I also have had OCD since childhood and I also have depression. But the past few weeks my anxiety levels have been pretty elevated. I haven’t had any major events happening in my life. Everything’s pretty good even though I do suffer from intrusive thoughts all the time. And to top things off I found bed bugs on my bed a few days ago, so that’s adding to my anxiety. The exterminator is coming in tomorrow which is something I’m not looking forwards to. I know I need to focus on the blessings I have, which I do have many. But anyways I needed to vent here for a bit. I may go to support group tomorrow night. Thank you all

When anxiety rears its' ugly head with me, I try to do something that I enjoy to get my mind focused on something else. I work on a hobby, (wood carving or making a meme), or just talking to a friend after a support group meeting. Hope you find what works for you.
