feeling of isolation and containment

[guynfl2chat]

I have posted in the past about anxiety, but this time I feel more alone and contained more than ever. I think its the sense that we should not go out and what if something happens. Its a sad and anxious feeling at the same time. I wake up everyday with the same dreadful feeling and it makes my stomach hurt and body ache. I called my doctor because I keep getting this heartburn that wont go away. I think its just my nerves but I just want to feel ok. Anyone else having trouble dealing day to day? I live alone and its tough to get out of my mind. BTW Gaviscon seems to work really well for stomach issues for me.. just found that out.

You have wisely worked out that your heartburn is a symptom of anxiety. The ache will pass when your anxiety passes as it surely will. Until then you have Gaviscon.

Many are feeling alone during the lockdown in the face of the pestilence. Why not spend this time getting to know yourself better and to respect yourself more for the special talents you were born with. See yourself as you would be seen by yourself as another person.

Spend this idle time restructuring yourself and your character into the kind of person you would ideally like to be. But that should be achieved by accentuating your strengths and talents.

Awake to greet the dawn, do not shun it, another day is another opportunity to move forward in your evolution to a higher form.

Do not fear the outdoors, you know the precautions you must take to minimise danger but in this as with everything there will always be an element of danger. No more for you than anyone else.
