dang anxiety

[hlangdon]

UGH. just picked up knitting supplies to get back into knitting again. just having a little problem concentrating on the project. I have not worked on a project since back in May and still had a problem back then working on a project. Will this ever go away with concentrating on stuff with anxiety

knit something small and simple two or three times get the hang of it again and then move on to something bigger.tell yourself over and over that you will do it not that you can do it.

That’s interesting to me, because I took up knitting at a time when I was so anxious, so much of the time, that I really thought I was losing my mind. It helped, because it gave me something to focus on. So, I’m not sure what to tell you. I hope you feel better soon.

Kat I been knitting for years before I got diagnosed with generalized anxiety and major depression and was knocking out projects left and right. Once I got diagnosed I had problems focusing on knitting or even anything else to do on a daily basis
