Struggling today, ugh

Today has been difficult, i just needed to write. I know my stomach is still sensitive from issues ive been having and my sleep is way off. I know thats making things feel more unstable. I dont know if i should eat or not eat or what right now. Was out today and felt a little anxious and knew that when i got home it could hit harder and thats what it did. I have to keep telling myself its just anxiety and that it follows my usual patterns but this has been more of a struggle lately and that always feels scary

I have faith in you, friend. You’ve got this. Let it flow and go… Feel what you need to feel. Cry it out, yell it out, purge those emotions from your being. We are in this together. Remind yourself that you are strong and this is nothing new to you. You are fierce. You are a fighter! Try some ginger and valerian root (nature’s Valium). Ginger will ease the stomach issues. PQQ and NAC are great too. Along with Ashwaganda KSM66 and Kava, LTheanine, GABA, Magnesium, Maca, Rosemary.

Thank you so much, all those things you say are true, im always trying to go forward ive just been having doubts lately because the anxiety has just reared its head again in the past two months so im out of practice. Thanks for the recommendations also, btw do you take any vitmain supplements? Ive been thinking that since my eating habits have been affected they might help?

Same. I just got off of a heart monitor because I was having pains and a fast heart rate. I had a Pulmonary embolism 3 years ago which causes some PTSD. But I’ve wasted many trips myself.

Thanks for the reply! I hear you, its amazing how i can go through the exact same thing at the same time in the same way and still be afraid of it. Im always afraid its going to get worse or never stop and the longer it lasts the harder it is to keep sane. No trip to the ER but i had to text my therapist

It always feels like something new. I get it. I’m glad you reached out to your therapist. I promise you, this will pass. I promise.
