Monday blues

[Kevin87]

Hey everyone! How is your Monday!? Here to talk if anyone needs an ear

Thankfully mine has been okay so far with some minor social anxiety, somehow the rainy weather is comforting...

Hello

Hi! How is your Monday going??

[teemo1]

I'm feeling fairly awful, but that's normal for me for a Monday, especially the Monday after a four-day weekend!

[Kevin87 in reply to teemo1]

I’m sorry you aren’t feeling great, what’s the matter?

I always feel bad on Monday’s, almost in a nostalgic way

[teemo1 in reply to Kevin87]

I'm just back at work where I don't want to be, feeling anxious and dizzy and wanting to get out of here...

[Kevin87 in reply to teemo1]

Yeah the same thing happens to me. I’ll be in an ok place, and all of the sudden I’ll get anxious. What type of work do you do? I get anxiety around people so sometimes it’s hard to actually work sometimes

I've been doing really well and had a nice Thanksgiving; however the last few days, my anxiety has amped up again and I'm not sure why. I do have some family drama going on. That kinda out of it and tingly feeling in the head, random sweating and chills, feeling tired and stomach/gut issues off and on. I hate this feeling : (

[Kevin87 in reply to Hidden]

That happens to me too, happens every year around holidays, summer, and Halloween.. it’s because “happy times” or memorable ones are ending and I have a hard time going through that because I enjoy myself so much. Coming from someone who finds it impossible to “live in the moment” that is a big deal.

How do you physically feel right now? I wouldn’t be surprised if the newer anxiousness could be causing the physical problems as well ...

Do you suffer social anxiety as well? Would like to hear more please. Thx.

[Kevin87 in reply to Hollick]

Hello! Yes I do, sometimes it’s worse than others but it shows up in a couple ways..

-I get anxiety around my interactions one on one, and can make it difficult to have normal conversations. It’s as if I stumble on my own words or I’m not sure what to say.

-the other is crowds, if I’m in a group of people it can be very hard to speak up or talk

This anxiety is heightened if there is something at stake in the interaction, meaning job interview, a date, and so on

Because of this it can be hard to go to social interactions and “make friends”, as a result I’m alone a lot of the time.

What has your experience been

[Hollick]

Very much of the same, it's quite depressing.

[Hollick]

I think the rainy weather can make you feel like cocooning sometimes.
