I once had to read a book. It was an odd book about two mice. One mouse left the other mouse a message within a long maze. One mouse was brave and the other was not. The message simply said -What would you do today if you were not afraid?-
Simple question. I think of it in those dark times of anxiety. What would I do today if I were not afraid? Sometimes I have a list. Other times, I have no answer and just have no interest in an answer. You know, I think the people I feel saddest for are the ones who once knew what profoundness was, but who lost or became numb to the sensation of wonder, who felt their emotions floating away and just didn't care. I guess that's what's scariest: not caring about the loss-Shawn

Everyday I say, tomorrow I'll feel better and I'll do more, and then tomorrow comes and I don't. I feel like everyday I'm just waiting for tomorrow and not living my life

I went through that for many years. I uesed to be so excited going to bed thinking tomorrow would be better, I would be better, I would do this or that...but I woke up and it was the same again. Went long like that for years.

I'm sorry that it went on for years. I've only been dealing with anxiety for a few months. I'm trying to do everything I can to better myself, it just discouraging ene it doesn't come. I guess I'm learning to be patient.

There is no perfect doctor, pill, DVD, or anything else. It comes and goes in cycles. Patience is truly needed. I am glad you have it.

Not really but I am learning. It's a struggle everyday.
That's a nice post, Hidden . I like it.😁 I just kind of put one foot in front of the other, and move along. Don't feel much excitement about anything. If I do, something always shoots it down. Then I'm back in my anxiety bubble! I lost my main job, so I'm bored out of my mind. Lots of things I could be doing. Just "don't feel like doing nothing". Sad... My mom, who is 87 yrs. old, lives by herself. She gets around with a walker. She cant do much. She never gets depressed. Everyday she picks a project to work on. It can take her hours. But guess what... She does it! 😁 If she could move around, the things she would do! She's an inspiration to me. Hang in there👍 Ruby🌹
