I dislike that some days are so good and than some days are so bad š last night was bad and I woke up with a mild panic attack but was able to go back to sleep so thatās good. Iām not even focusing on it I just feel sad and have for about a week now. Thereās some reasons but the reasons have to work themselves outā¦ itās out of my control.
I just need some encouragement and happy thoughts yāall ā¤ļø.
I feel the same with the ups and downs all the time! You're not alone. It blows my mind that I can feel on top of the world one day, and the next have terrible anxiety. I'm trying to learn that I can't control everything and it's okay and to just focus on what I actually can control. You will feel better and I hope you have a better day!
Thank youā¦. Itās getting a bit better. Going to a concert tonight tho and Iām tired from the anxiety. Just trying my best
Hope you enjoyed your concert!
Omggg I did! As the day progressed and I ate, walked around a little, and rested before hand I got to feeling better. And the concert was amazingā¦. It was rock and roll which I love ā¤ļø Thank you so much for remembering and thinking to post thisā¦kindness really can make all the difference š
totally get it. The ups and downs of mental health or exhausting. Youāre very wise to know that you just have to wait things out. Acceptance is a big thing. I donāt tend to love roller coasters they give me big anxiety. Any time Iāve ridden one Iām tense the whole time. But there was one that I found that I kind of enjoyed so I practiced letting go a little and not holding my body so tense. Even though there were scary parts of the ride I enjoyed the overall ride so much more. I try to remind myself of that well riding the roller coaster of depression and health issues. Every day is something new and some days weāre going to be scared to death. But itās all a lot easier if we can surrender and let go a little.
Agree re. the rollercoaster image! Going tomorrow on a two hour flight & am Scared & Nervous! Excited, but more Nervous! Hate being so Darn Anxious --will have to Accept anxiety with understanding! Do my Deep Breathing Exercises!
Good luck!! I hope it goes well for youā¤ļø you got this!!
Thx. for your good wishes & vibes. Flight coming & going went well --some bumpy spots, but not unusal for any flights. Got a window seat, and on way back to where I am staying was beautiful coming in with the area All lit up, the twinkling of the stars, the moon shining brightlty in the night sky. Went to another state for an interview for a HUD apartment. Looks like a good possiblility, but the apts. (all of them) have NO windows that open up, and there is a tiny kitchenette with NO stove, & only a microwave, and a small refrigerator. This is SO sad as most of the tennets are older, and many not able to eat out. I still may take it if it's offered as I am homeless, now, & staying with relatives is the Pitts! Everyone should, at least, have a full kitchen to be able to cook, and Every apt. should have at least one window that can open!
today it helping to remember that my anxiety is lying to me š I overdid it yesterday by a lot so today is better chillin some and once we get to the show I believe my mind will be preoccupied. Thank you for respondingā¦ it really super helpful to me
Such is life...it's a rollercoaster š¢But you did really good with your mild panic attack. You didn't spiral out of control. Yeah, sure it sucks waking up like that. However you handled it well. And got to go back to sleep. I envy you. Because once I get woken up, I struggle to go back to sleep and enjoy channel surfing or watching videos on YouTube š
Just keep in mind bad days, they don't last forever. You can never know the sweet without the bitter.
Wishing you good mental health ā¤ļøš«
Thank you š And yes it was a blessing to go back to sleep! I truly appreciate your thoughts and kindness ā¤ļø
Dont measure your progress day to day, there will always be days a little harder than others
At least you are having the "ups". Be thankful for that. Life is full of ups and downs, and it is how we react to them that affects our moods. Sometimes when I'm having an anxiety filled day I just tell myself that tomorrow will probably be better (and it usually is). I reach into my "toolbox" and do all the things that help reduce my anxiety (i.e. exercise, meditate, concentrate on work, play the piano, take a walk, etc) and wait for it to pass. Hope this helps.
Sending hugs and healing thoughts. Hang in there.
Hope today was better than your yesterday
So much better and Thank you š Outside hiking and really didnāt even give my bad day yesterday any thoughtā¦. Meaning for now Iām getting better about not ruminating about why I had such a bad anxiety day. Thank you for your kindness ā¤ļø
