coming down from my anxiety

[Daisy425]

I think when I’m really anxious it takes me a few days to come down from it. I went to a concert two nights ago. Yesterday I was super anxious but I managed to eat. Today I woke up feeling anxious. I have two friends coming in a bit to grab lunch and help me pack up my apartment. For some reason I’m anxious. I think I’m worried I’m sick because I’m congested but I know it’s just allergies. When I’m anxious I also get nervous about eating, so I’m nervous to eat today. I just don’t want to get sick.

This all sounds ridiculous and I realize that as I am typing it out.

it doesn’t sound ridiculous to me at all. I’m anxious 😬 and hyper focusing on things about me to worry about. I’m overthinking things. I’m trying to not think of myself and if I do to be positive toward myself and others but feels fake and the unsettled feeling is constricting the joy out of me. I’m trying to let myself feel it all, not push it away and it’s exhausting. I want to cry but tears won’t come. I have been wanting to disappear so I pretend I’m dead or small and unnoticed in the world I know it’s weird but it makes me feel better. I’m always afraid I’ll do something very wrong that I can’t take back. I think all this is anxieties from OCD with all the intrusive thoughts.

I hope you have a good lunch and feel healthy. I hope you had fun at the concert.

It doesn't sound ridiculous at all. Moving home is anxiety producing for anyone, and there's probably a lot of dust affecting your allergies. If you don't eat today, you will not die; you will probably not even get sick. Listen to your body and remember that it's best to have something at least once a day, and always keep up your fluids. I hope your removal goes smoothly and you enjoy the new place.
