I hope you settled down some. Let us know when you get home how

the rest of the day went. Like they say, one day at a time. Hopefully it

will get better. xx

Well the rest of the day I had anxiety due to the subject matter we were discussing (what to do if people faint, fire and tornado safety plans) and health anxiety due to talking about bloodborne pathogens and chemical toxins. I'm going in to physical therapy now. Still feeling anxious and in pain but not shaking I suppose klonopin is helping some. Thank you for caring 💛

[Agora1]

Oh my gosh, of all subjects to talk about. I feel symptoms whenever I hear the word faint or pass out too. I'm glad the klonopin helped some. I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. Anxiety is really something isn't it though?

I hope your evening is more relaxed. I do care. I hate knowing people are suffering

probably more so because I understand what you are going through. Take care. xx

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

Thank you for understanding! I'm glad but not glad you understand 'cause I don't wish this on anyone. Thank you so much for thinking about me. I don't feel like I fit in anywhere except on here 😥 Which I guess is a good and bad thing. I'm gonna try to sleep if pain anxiety and fear will let me. My boyfriend seriously falls asleep in 30 seconds and is able to keep a regular sleep schedule. Love and hugs 💛

Therapy is a good way to fight with your fears, it will help you feel good and get back to your normal life. You need to be strong.

Try meditation and breathing exercise, it helped me too.

[Chubbers in reply to HeatherJones]

I try meditation still should try breathing exercises. Wish I could afford good therapy! M trying to be strong! 💛

Hi! Not sure if you work everyday but was wondering how you did. I was thinking of you today and kind of mentally cheering you on. Hope that you are in your pjs and just chilling out. Take care. Wishing you a calm weekend. Happy Valentine's Day

Sorry for late reply right now working M-F eventually will work some Sat mornings. I'm having a lot of anxiety just sittin here in my comfy clothes. Thank you for caring. I will need more cheering on as Monday I start training and I'm so nervous. I need energy this weekend yo make sure I have lunches for the week. Also right now trying to wrap my mind around a horrible thing that happened involving a guy I used to know 😥. Also I'm nervous having to be on these meds to be so called normal. I don't feel anything close to normal 💛

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

I'm stressed didn't sleep last night up all night with palpitations and horrible anxiety😥 It's only Monday first day of training and most of the day I was left to sit or stand around. I hope I can do this job. I'm already worried I won't be able to cause can't concentrate with pain and anxiety. About to start physical therapy now yay!!!

[Agora1 in reply to Chubbers]

Hi, I was wondering how the first day of training would go. Sitting or standing around is probably worse than being kept busy. Too much time for the anxiety to take over. I think most people have doubts about being able to handle a new job but with anxiety and pain it makes it more believable in your mind. I'm sure you will be okay once you get established in your position. I hope you sleep tonight you need to refresh your mind from worry. I can see that physical therapy is something you look forward to. It is comforting to have someone work on physical pain, if only the mental pain could be addressed like that. Well hope you get to relax some tonight and good luck on day two of training. Reading your posts about a new job and what's involved makes me think I must have been naïve in working for a temporary agency at one time. Going from company to company and having to train for new positions day to day. Of course that was before

anxiety came along. I better close and let you get some rest.

Take care xx

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

Thank you love ya💛 I hope I can rest too gonna be long day tomorrow cause I have to go to the doc for a female issue on my lunch of course am anxious about that too ugh!!!

[Agora1 in reply to Chubbers]

OMG, how can you handle both? I'll be sending you calming wishes tomorrow. Take care. Sleep well...xx

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

Thank you now on more antibiotics. Today was a pretty tough day. This job is very challenging and maybe too much with anxiety😥 Doin best I can. Hope u r doing well 💛

[Agora1 in reply to Chubbers]

Hi, I'm sorry you're having a rough time but who wouldn't with anxiety. It is a challenge in itself.

I'm sure you are doing more than your best.

Rest well tonight. You are a good person

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

Thank you you are so kind and I appreciate you very much 😊

[Agora1]

Oh, I'm glad you wrote. So you do work 5 days a week. You must be emotionally exhausted tonight. I'm sorry that something happened to a friend of yours. That's got to be hard to absorb. As for the meds, I hope that it will eventually give you some relief in feeling better. Wishing you well in your training Monday. Have a good weekend. xx

[Chubbers in reply to Agora1]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm exhausted in all kinds of ways tonight. I will work 5 days a week sometimes 6. I have so much to learn all while dealing with other stuff like anxiety and adjusting to new meds. My Dad is in a new nursing home now. I'm going to see him tomorrow but seeing him this way also provokes anxiety. It's not his fault I know it's just a hard part of life. You take care and have a good weekend too. I at least spent the early part of the day with my Mom which is a blessing 😊
