It will be okay

Lots going on to potentially aggravate anxiety. It would be strange if we didn’t question what could happen. But there is no threat to us in this moment. It’s the wondering about the unknown that can seem a threat. I’m on high anxiety and I don’t know why I’m guessing the virus is affecting me in the back of my mind. I feel detached from everything. I’m like floating above all this stuff I need to do including schooling my kiddos to keep them learning and to keep things as normal as I can. But yeah I think it will be okay. Staying in this moment... deep breaths... trust. ❤️

It is a tough tough time for sure. I’ve been having major mood swings and after I wrote the post I started panicking because I feel so off and foggy in my head and it’s as if I have a bubble around me like disconnected from others. I don’t know what all of it’s from. May we have moments of peace. ☮️

I know I am so stressed to !

I am so worried as I can stay in but my Son has to keep going to work which is now my huge panic :-o

I often feel I am in my own bubble that is normal for me :-/

Moments of peace would be lovely not sure how you get them though :-) x

Praying and asking the universe to send around moments of peace for us.

Yes me too... my husband and son are at work now.

in reply to Starrlight

Hope your prayers work :-)

And yes it is frightening when they are going out , makes me feel I want to tell them not to come back until this is over :-D x

Hi Star.

Stay strong. I feel that disconnect too. I have not seen one neighbor around here all week. I feel as if I am floating along trying to live moment to moment and not think too much. It is such a different situation for us all , maybe that is why .

Thanks

Hey Poodie! Yup we have to stay strong while we float but it’s 3 am and I have worries on my mind that I can’t seem to stop. Trying tea and deep breathing...some times seems it will be okay and other times I’m questioning it all.

Star,

I hope you got some sleep last night or this morning. Try saying the serenity prayer ? I do not know specifically what you are thinking about. I am feeling resigned but starting to get this heavy sad feeling in my chest.

Re the virus: my son is working from home. His apartment mate is still going to work every day and I don’t not think he has a job that is essential. I am worried he will bring the virus to my son.

I hope the heavy feeling has left. I wonder what your son will do. That’s a question many are trying to navigate through. Positive vibes to you(((((((((

Sorry, I have to Disagree with you about getting answers? There is So much Misinformation Out there “Who” do you believe??? And us who are dealing with Anxiety, it could drive some to Sucide? Everyone’s level of Anxiety is different. Mines is causing me self starvation Some what? I’ve lost about 40 pounds in 6 weeks. I’m trying to eat, I then get a stomach ache and today diarrhea. I’m trying to make an appointment with my Therapist and my psychiatrist. They haven’t been in their offices, maybe because of this Virus? We are all entitled to our opinions I Respect that.

I hear you. Im sure there is misinformation. True everyone’s level of anxiety is different. I’m having trouble eating too so I know that feeling. I’m so sorry you are going through such a time. I wish I could say something to ease your pain. I hope you can get your appointments soon. Best to you my friend. ❤️ love you you

it's hard to stay focused and not freak out as we ae being bombarded with bad news 24/7 it's hard to stay positive the media has nothing but bad news and doom we have to try and stay positive and think good thoughts and quite frankly i;m tied of hearing about the toilet paper shortage shame on the people who are hoarding and not letting other people get a chance to buy anything we are all in this together we need to be kinder and more understanding and let other people get a chance

I agree. We need to look out for each other. And it’s hard to see things the way they were. Things feel way different for all of us. I’m shaking right now. Everything all mixed together on top of this virus is almost too much. Blessings to you fib4 ❤️
