Anxiety taking over now :)

[HealingTears]

Well the anxiety has gotten bad again. Kinda hard to express, since my thoughts are juar bouncing around a mile a minute all scrambled in my brain. The self isolation just keeps getting worse. And anytime I even make one type of connection with a human (friend or stranger) lately the anxiety is insane. If it’s through text I triple think Everyrhing about what I’m going to say, what they are going to think. And then after I post it I’m freaking about about what I said , how people responded of if they didn’t respond… why. It’s just madness the obsession I feel over communication with others and it drives me mad most days. The avoidance of it is making it wors. I know I need to expose myself more but it’s terrifying.

My roommate moved out today and before I came to work I had about an hour. And that absolute sigh of relief I had to have the place to myself… completely was seriously the best feeling I’ve had in a while. I’m gonna have the place to myself for 3 and a half weeks …. And I’m really excited to just be … alone lol.

Things that help me. I take my medicine. I get 6-8 hours of sleep each night. I do the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. Before I get out of bed. And again later in the day before a meal. 30-40 minutes of daily cardio exercise. You tube has aerobics or jogging in place you name it. And this one’s going to sound weird so Google it. A 5 minute cold shower daily. You don’t have to start out with 5 minutes or really cold build up to it .

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think it's okay to be excited about being alone. Sometimes solitude can bring great relief. If you are really feeling low, please think about contacting a counselor for some guidance. My counselor has helped me a great deal through what you're experiencing. Hugs to you!
