Anxiety peaking

[Earthchild10]

My anxiety has been at its peak today because I haven’t been sleeping properly. My contract finished the end of October.. so I’m currently unemployed. I struggle to have a good nights rest and sleep right through the night. I’ve been having strange dreams too. As I write this it feels as if my whole body is trembling and my hands are shaking. I use to be a coffee/tea lover but I cut caffeine out because my anxiety has become so severe. I wish I could just undo the trauma in my head and make peace with it instead of playing it over and over in my head. It’s so hard because I feel my family doesn’t understand how bad my anxiety gets. I hate conflict in the house too amongst my parents. My fiancé is very supportive and understands me but he has his own battles which he is currently facing.

My anxiety has become such a norm that j just continue each day with a different symptom, if not the same. Each little pain, or funny feeling freaks me out and makes me feel as if somethings going to happen to me. I hate this feeling

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. My anxiety has changed recently to the point that I have also had to cut down on my caffeine, but I'm struggling to sleep so i just feel tired and anxious all the time.

Conflict is one of my big triggers as well. The smallest little thing and my anxiety shoots up. Trying to focus more on what I can control and disregard things that I cannot. I cannot control the conflict around me. I can only control how I react to it.

Hang in there.
