question

[Curry223]

how are you feeling? Be truthful. (Comment below)

I’m okay. Right now I just feel numb and the days are passing by, but I can’t complain because my anxiety has been lower since the new year and good things are around the corner.

I'm having the best day I've had in weeks and I'm pretty sure it's because I found this community and don't feel so alone. I've still had several moments where my fear started to take over but I just decided to breathe and tell myself that "fear is not danger and I am safe". It seems to be helping. I'm so sorry to hear about all you're going through, but happy to see that your anxiety has been lower in the new year. Always here to talk if you need it.

[Celinesnana in reply to Kelsey22]

so happy to hear you’re having the best day! Truly. ❤️

[Curry223 in reply to Kelsey22]

yay!

[GrohlGirl606]

I feel like total crapola with cheese on top! Completely exhausted, pain & fatigue makes it so difficult to stay motivated - Cold/Rain DOESN'T Help at all..... I NEED A VACAY FROM LIFE

[Curry223 in reply to GrohlGirl606]

you should plan a vacay soon

[Kelkel00]

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say a 4 or 5. The nagging anxious thoughts are lingering and I have a headache.

But I get to go watch my daughter at her soccer game later which will be a spirit lifter.

I gotta get a handle on this though, because I need to function in life!

[Curry223 in reply to Kelkel00]

you got this!!!

[animalluver]

Lately I'm finding myself so caught up in my thoughts and worries that I forget to breathe. It's difficult to stop my mind from racing and just be present in the moment.

[Kelkel00 in reply to animalluver]

yes, I can relate!

[Curry223 in reply to animalluver]

it will be okay! Try some breathing techniques

[OkayishMoose]

Today I'm feeling incredibly tired, a bit above baseline anxiety levels, and really wish I had friends around me. While it's not a trend in general for me, I've been feeling quite sad later in the day pretty frequently recently and am not looking forward to that likely being the case in a few hours. Things are getting better for me, but they're still tough and exhausting.

[Curry223 in reply to OkayishMoose]

I hope you’re able to get rest!

[Sillysausage234]

feeling hopeful spring is only around the corner….also fat after just eating a meal meant for 2

[Agora1 in reply to Sillysausage234]

SS but did you enjoy the meal?? That feeling will go away in a few hours.

Our appetites are heartier during the colder months. Don't fret...

What's for dessert?? : ) xx

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Agora1]

I’m contemplating squeezing some apple pie in 😄….yes did enjoy it ,didn’t have lunch ,saved myself all day so I could pig out x

[Agora1 in reply to Sillysausage234]

Well there you go my friend. Enjoy that apple pie (sounds good)

maybe with a scoop of ice cream?? You can cut down on food intake

tomorrow. Everything in moderation Enjoy xx

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Agora1]

suppose a little sliver can’t hurt

[Curry223 in reply to Sillysausage234]

I can smell the flowers already!

Hi Curry223, I always feel that there is something to feel great about each day.

I woke up. To me, it's like Christmas everyday as to what will today bring?

So many things I want to do. I want to keep learning and experiencing life.

Can't do it if I stay in bed. A world is waiting for me. This has a lot to do with

my positive mental state after having lost 5 years of my life to Agoraphobia.

It's my time to shine and I'm so happy.. xx

[Hidden in reply to Agora1]

One day I’m going to be able to answer with your exact words. Not today, but one day!

Beautiful Agora1 👍

[Agora1 in reply to Hidden]

It will happen KellyKay when the time is right xx

[SeekHappiness23]

Not well. Hopeless 🙁

[Curry223 in reply to SeekHappiness23]

why is that?

[Celinesnana]

not a great day. Started off great- got out of the house and ran some errands. Felt fine. Later on in the day started with some of the physical symptoms that plague me and as much as I try to accept- there are times I don’t, I feed into the fear. So not great, but could’ve been worse. I got out, enjoyed time with my kids and took a great walk with my dog.

Just being honest about how I’m feeling , feels pretty good- I must say.

Thanks everyone 🤗

[Curry223 in reply to Celinesnana]

thank you for being honest! You’ll get there

[Justgurxy]

[Curry223 in reply to Dolphin14]

[Dolphin14 in reply to Curry223]

Agree

How are you feeling today?

[Curry223 in reply to Dolphin14]

I’m doing pretty good. The sun is out so I’ll take a walk! Thanks for asking

[Doggie123-UK]

Feeling drained and weak after a chest infection and anxious waiting for deliveries

[Curry223 in reply to Doggie123-UK]

I hope you feel better

[Curry223]

why is that?

[Darkhouse]

I'm in mourning. We lost our 5 week old kitten yesterday to an unknown illness. I got him only a week ago. He was weened much too young, so I had to take over bottle feeding and all that. It was tough in the beginning, but he caught on and really began to thrive. He was the sweetest, cutest boy in the world. Then yesterday morning I woke up and he was struggling to breathe and acting paralyzed, although he wasn't. We live in a rural area, so vet options are limited. I started calling around, and by the time I found someone to take us, an hour away, he had passed. I was a vet tech many moons ago. Part of me knows that he was weened too young and who knows what he was missing from his mom, what was congenitally wrong, etc, but the other part feels so incredibly guilty and self-loathing, like I killed this innocent little creature. He was a light in my otherwise dark life, now he's gone. I've probably over self-medicated, need to chill out, feeling very sad and alone and like a gigantic failure.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Darkhouse]

I'm so sorry for your loss

🐬

[Curry223 in reply to Darkhouse]

I’m so sorry to hear! Thank you for opening up to the forum. You are not a failure!

[Curry223]

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’m sure they will get the bonuses situated! Just be patient.

I’m sorry to hear about your dog! Just know the vets are doing the best they can.

Self care is always important no matter what you are going through!

I’ve had gallbladder issues too and it’s ugly! I’m glad you put yourself first in order to get better.

Please remember this is all a short trail. You will get through this! And No I don’t regret asking. Xo

[Hidden]
