i don’t know what has been up today but my anxiety has been at an all time high and still is. I worked a 6hour shift and was anxious almost the entire time through out the shift and had to eventually take a gabapentin. now i’m at my moms with ALL the family and i just can’t deal. i was fine at first and now i can’t even be in the house without feeling an intense panic. i wanna cry but i just can’t. i’m so over this feeling. im so annoyed. i keep texting the people around me and no one understands and it just makes me feel as to why bother.

Hi _xoffmod congratulate yourself for having worked 6 hours today and

then you are suppose to turn the switch on to "enjoy and relax" Doesn't

work that way. We each have our own stress that comes along with the holiday.

Society makes it look so happy and festive. Embrace the fact that you are with

the family for the moment. I understand, the noise, the talking the excitement others

show is too much a stimulant to our mind and body.

When you get home tonight, allow yourself some "me time". Your time to regenerate from

the day. Your time to allow a moment of peace and calm to over see you.

You are not alone with those feelings. :) xx
