When will this feeling of dread end?

[Gadzukes]

Hi, I wonder if anyone is feeling the same way I am. I’ve had both my Covid vaccinations but am still feeling so anxious and tense. I wake each morning with that feeling of dread in my stomach, and can’t seem to get my hands to stop shaking. I just wonder when this feeling will end or even if it will. Finally found a therapist who I’ll see next week. It’s been so difficult to find anyone available this past year. I long to feel myself again.

Congratulations Gadzukes on getting your two vaccinations. The feeling of dread

will end when you stop anticipating what may happen next. Waking up in the morning should be a time of rejoice that we get another day to live out our lives. With anxiety, we

tend to wake up worrying about the things that MAY happen and most of the time they

don't. We need to be more positive in our way of thinking. Staying in the present moment can help. Venturing into the future just brings us more fear.

We must learn to accept today for what it is. We must realize that we have choices in being

afraid or living our life the best we can. Each day is a present given to us. I always try to make each day count so that when I go to sleep at night, I can relax knowing I did the best I could. xx

Thank you, a very good reminder. Just finding it so hard not to worry and stay in the present.

Me to. I have COPD MY HUSBAND HAS HEART FAILURE. ((Sorry cap was lock on. ) Plus his arteries are really bad. And COPD. My granddaughter just got married in mexico. I guess they rented a some place to house all her husband family's. It turn out many was tested positive for covid-19. She been mad at us for a year cause we told her we weren't going. First cov 19 and our health. We both trouble getting around here, no way the rushing of flying, bags suits cases, lay over then the hike on rocky cliff and upstairs 28 steps to the bedrooms. Then didn't bother telling any of us. Then when my grandson call us to pickup their dogs told me to put them outside he couldn't come in because they been exposed to cov 19. Gave information he knew. So we got a hold of our son and told him cuz he high risk to. So he had to have them find how they were getting her mom home that live with us put was told she was going to have to be on lockdown at her daughter house. But she mad at us for cuzing drama for them. This generation they just don't get it and they think it's all lies. Butt I'm very greatfull and thankful for the the Lord help us to stand our grounds with her. So I'm with u. I got 1st shot next month 2nd same with my husband. Sorry for so long. So what going on with you. Hope we talked soon. Good night

So sorry you’re family hasn’t been understanding. I’m very lucky in that regard. Jesus it’s been so hard being at high risk from this disease. A friend of ours died two days ago from it. My family has taken this very seriously because they know if I get it I’m a goner. Just finding it hard to adjust to being able to be around them again. Sounds so silly when I even say it. I guess it’s just going to take some time for the fear to pass. The depression is still here big time, but hopefully that will begin to ease up too. This has just been the absolute pits for people who already fight with anxiety and depression. Take care, I hope the family issues get resolved.

Yes, I've experienced what you have described. An overwhelming feeling of dread.

[Gadzukes in reply to TangledUpIn]

I guess a lot of us have. How or have you got past it?

[TangledUpIn]

To answer your question, I really haven't gotten past the feeling of dread. To make matters worse, some overwhelming things have happened lately which of course makes the feeling of dread worse!

[Gadzukes in reply to TangledUpIn]

I’m so sorry. I just know there has to be a way to conquer this.

[TangledUpIn in reply to Gadzukes]

I have tried many things yet I haven't found the silver bullet.
