If only it were that easy! I am trying to get through this, as we all are. Still have the awful mornings, first awakening is awful, the thoughts of dread about the future and what ifs, are always there, sometimes the gagging and wretching.
I keep trying to tell myself the future is the future, whatever happens will happen, me obsessing and worrying about it won't change it, and in fact, might even make what I fear happen. As well as anxiety I feel I'm depressed, a general feeling of what is life about and real boredom with the general mundanity of general day to day life, but only I can change that life.
I know the general 'prescription' for anxiety and any type of depressive illnesses is don't think about yourself so much, keep busy, find an interest, exercise, etc. I am a great over thinker and analyser and do believe I have too much time to think. It would be oh so easy to lie in bed all day, or sit motionless on the sofa and I've had plenty of those days. But, as I said, I'm trying. And I do find that all the things mentioned above do help. I try to walk a lot (dogwalking), see friends when I can, (but need more friends!), make myself get up and start doing something helps. This morning I've got up, got kids off to school, washed up, radios on, prepped potatoes and leeks for fish pie later today. Give me a medal someone! Out for a dog walk soon. But the days can seem so long. Anyway, just my ramblings. This site has been great and I know I haven't felt such a weirdo since finding out so many others suffer with anxiety! Sstill hard not to keep beating oneself up tho for being 'weak'... But trying to manage that as well! Good songs come on so its going to be blasted out and I'm gonna have a dance around the kitchen ... Wishing everyone a good day!
