10

[Lalakeyss]

Hi beautifuls! Hope everyone is having a better day. My Anxiety level is a good 10 today! I had a few glasses of wine last night (I'm not on any medications) and now I'm paying for it today. I am feeling all the physical symptoms: stomach weakness, shakes, pins and needles in hands and legs, etc.

Sucks!😩

Where do you find these little posts? This one cracked me up.

Feel better soon Lalakeyss xx

Thanks!! I just google Anxiety humor. We just have to laugh at ourselves sometimes 🤷🏾‍♀️

I totally agree with you. xx

Hello. Well at least you know why it’s happening?

Quite often I remember feeling that I had it under control and had a drink or cigarettes or even coffee and these stimulants (the answer is right there) seemed to bring on symptoms.

So...I went teetotal, gave up cigarettes, coffee and any sugary drinks until I had this beat...it took time but I got there.

Don’t be disheartened, the drink has given your body reason to annoy you, just stay relax, hydrate, listen to nice music, watch your favourite movie, distract your mind.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Thank you!! I will keep on fighting until there's no fight left! Hydrating as we speak!🤗

Oh, my, Lala.

It's damn if you do and damn if you don't.

If you could figure out what is at the base of your anxiety, it would make it easier to figure out what to do, wouldn't it?

In the meanwhile, I'm still a big fan of plastic baseball bats and good sturdy tree, or old coffee mugs to decimate against a concrete wall to use up the energy that anxiety feeds upon to survive.

What would be your favorite energy using technique?

Dancing in my living room to some good tunes! Puts my mind at ease and gets me positively energized🤗

Great, just watch out for the lamps when you swing your right leg .

I'm fighting this horrible conundrum myself.....I build up like a pressure cooker and in my mind alcohol and a pub becomes a way to get some relief. Of course it only exacerbates the situation. Lonliness is my problem and I've identified I don't mind spending time alone but it frightens me!!! The fear of being alone dictates I feel bad about being alone!

[Lalakeyss in reply to mooner04]

Honey, once you are around someone everyday (like myself), you are going to crave some alone time! Get comfortable being alone so when you aren't alone, you appreciate your "me" time a lot more. You have this forum, if you ever need to talk or not feel alone...we support you!❤️

Thanks so much.

I've made the same mistake many times. I'm feeling good so why not just have a drink with friends. Then for the next 2 days I'm suffering again. Alcohol and anxiety just don't mix so I don't drink it anymore.

I feel like this after I drink with anxiety that's why i stay clear of alcohol these days, i also wake up at stupid o clock feeling anxious. Hope you feel better soon
