Anxiety off the rails.

[Grandmaof3]

I am so done with this. I didn’t want to get up this morning. I slept well but am mentally and physically exhausted. My face, teeth and jaws keep randomly hurting from clenching my teeth. Body is sore. It’s got me really down not wanting to do anything but sleep so I won’t feel it but I’m not tired. The physical anxiety symptoms are making me feel awful and I’m one that normally am always going. I didn’t want to post because I don’t want to sound like a broken record but nowhere else to go right now. My go to hobby is gardening but I fell and hurt my hand on Mother’s Day and am still healing. My daughter’s wedding is 8 weeks from yesterday and I have to pull myself together. Ugh

It's difficult when we can't practice one of our coping skills. Hope your back to gardening soon. I like to play classic words online, it calms me My tablet I play on went out and it caused me stress for days til i got new one, so I know how you feel.It will get better again.

Are you able to use a community center in your area such as an elderly person's drop in center or is there a warm line you can call? When I get anxious, if I address the issue that is causing the anxiety, the anxiety decreases or alleviates entirely. Maybe your grandchildren could visit or another family member.

I'm with you. I'm normally very lively and busy. I'm not working, not helping with my granddaughter and cannot get out of bed somedays. I'm so bored and lonely yet I'm immobilized by fear and anxiety. I've never been like this before, I'm also exhausted but have become an insomniac. Pure hell

It’s crazy. Yesterday and the day before I actually felt good… like myself again. Then this morning I wake up feeling light headed again and on the edge of another anxiety attack and I have to drive to get my grandson for the day while my daughter is at work. I HATE feeling this way and it’s super annoying after feeling so good for 2 days prior.
