somewhat better

[Daisy425]

hi everyone

I am feeling a little bit better. I spoke to my therapist the other day and she gave some great insight. I lost one of my best friends in December. She said that she thinks my grief is presenting as anxiety because I don’t know how to grieve the sudden death of a friend but I do know how to be anxious.

Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean I don’t have a fear of being sick. I do and I need to work on it. I’m trying to take precautions at school like wiping down kids tables, washing my hands often, avoiding touching my face. None of my students have the stomach bug right now. I also made a kit at home in case I get sick. But I’m still scared.

Daisy, I have often had my health anxiety kick in during stressful times. Try to do anything to calm the mind such as exercise, deep breathing, massage, etc.. Not a cure all but will help;
