My Day

[Trainchaser]

Having a hard time today. Work day is going slow. My anxiety and depression have a firm hold on me. Been anxious and depressed most of my life. Wonder if I will ever be free of these emotions.

done with work this week. today is ultra frustrating. it is an "i wonder if i can even last at this job" day which is a bummer because it has been so good. sometimes it is better not to ask for help. got a few hours left.

Can relate to you I have 5 days off in a row hopefully my anxiety and depression stay manageable. Good luck to you

I am going to New Orleans for a few days on Wednesday. So looking forward to it! You say 63 . How much time do you have left?

[Trainchaser in reply to Blueruth]

Have a great time in New Orleans. Never been there. Time left only God knows. Hate all of my anxiety and depression. Sometimes I feel I get close to the end of my rope

Thanks! maybe it is time to do a little assessment? No matter how much or how little you have saved it is good to at least know what your options are and what happens if you apply for ss at different ages. SS got an increase too and medicare is getting some improvements. Maybe it isn't as bad as you think. I know I have seen free workshops in my area on this topic.

I have been dealing with D and A for about 35 years. Sounds like you are in a similar boat. At least mine ebbs and flows so it isn't on full blast all the time. Seems to be blasting a lot for several weeks now. Starting to feel a little better tonight. Mindfulness, calming techniques and medication help me. And walking with my dog. And chocolate.

Breathing works some can't do mindfulness. Hope your day went better for

I hear you. I do deep breathing and always feel the benefits of that. But mindfulness, forget it. I’ve researched it to the point that I don’t ever want to hear that word again, lol. My therapist and I get into debates about mindfulness every time we speak. I’m a self aware person and feel I’m already mindful by nature. I find help in being less mindful … out of my head and thoughts. Therapist says there’s a way to be mindful and out of your head at the same time. This seems scientifically and logically impossible to me. Would love to figure this out.😀👍

I agree with your thoughts. I am trying to get out of the funk i am in. I have dreamsat night that my me anxious. Sometimes I don't wantt t o go to sleep. Hope you are having a good day.

I've had anxiety since a child, depression since middle school. At 59 I'm in the middle of a down time-trying to pull myself up but it's always there. I felt so good a few months ago and am praying I can get up this time. Good luck to us all

Sorry to hear about you’re Anxiety the need to leave the past behind changing those unbelief habits or self worth can help with perspectives which are the capacities to keeping those daunting feelings of our inner being without self sabotaging be aware of the negative energy which fills the void and space and replacing it with positivity emotive gives us a sense of value setting new intentions keeping mind active Reading watching a movie a walk interest shared gives us a feeling of joy and hope which helps build the reality around us to engage our thoughts self care working with that energy which is purposeful and meaningful can let light in to the burdens feeling of overwhelm exchanging being wellness
