I hate holidays

[Taranicole31404]

I don't know if it's because it's the 4th of July and I know I have to go to a cookout or what. My anxiety is horrible today I got in the car and my mind just blanks out I feel like I'm not real nothing around me is real. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone . I also feel dizzy and off balance. Does anyone get like this with anxiety and if so what helps? I would like to enjoy a little if the holiday.

Taranicole31404, I know the feeling all too well. Even though you are going to a cookout, it would do you well to have a little something to eat at home and make sure you hydrate. It may take the twilight zone feeling, dizzy and off balance feeling away. You are not alone feeling like this. But I hope you do go and enjoy yourself. You may be surprised how it will make you feel better. Happy 4th. x

Try to eat a little before you leave. Also think how blessed you are to be invited to a cookout. Try to think of one positive thing to get you there. You don't have to stay the entire time. You're in control.

Taraanicole31404, you deserve a "big high 5"

I'm happy you went and had a good time. Now you can let those tight muscles relax some. You did good. x
