Days gone by

Hello. My third posting in a matter of about a week. Recently had a really bad sinus issue which caused heightened anxiety because of difficulty breathing with nose. Seems to now be getting better but sometimes the anxiety seems to linger into other thoughts and situations. I often think about the days from years gone by when I was so much younger and happier, when actual ignorance was bliss as the old saying goes. Getting older usually means understanding more and more all the aspects of life that can go along with living through the up's and down's and everything in between. I sometimes get really sad when I think sometimes like this, which sometimes brings a bit of residual anxiety with these thoughts, it's the best way I can put this. I know it's all part of life, sometimes I wish I was more strong willed. But it's these "grey areas" that sometimes crop up and makes you think, which sometimes opens the anxiety door back open, even if it's just a little bit.

Hello

I too recently had a sinus infection and a pulled neck muscle that made breathing difficult, health anxiety kicked in and I thought the worst as I always do. But I'm ok now, I'd not have worried so much when I was younger, thus getting old malarkey isn't all its made out to be.

Take care.
