Anxiety

[Edmonton81]

Hi so I’m having anxiety not sure which type, but since all this around us is happening I’m feeling that my anxiety is taking over a bit. Can anyone relate? Any advice please.

Hi, i was a little calm a few weeks ago .. i thought it odd as i am an anxious person most of the time .. i thought is this the calm before the storm’ ... now i can feel my Anxiety starting to rise ... trouble falling asleep, waking up early hours, little off balance when i’m walking (giddy), sensitive to noise and just wanting to stay in bed, hoping the ‘Virus’ thing will disappear quickly. I’m still working on a rota as i’m a Key-worker as is my husband.

When a news bulletin flashes up my i can feel a sinking feeling in my tummy. Worrying about money in the near future too. Worrying about my family friends.. and the poor NHS staff working without Protection resources. worrying about if there is more to this than what is being told on the media. It’s like a nightmare that we haven’t woken up yet from.

Now i have expressed some of my worries .. i can see why my anxiety is rising and pultruding it’s vile symptoms !

Try writing your worries down or express them on here.

It gives you a better understanding as to why you are feeling anxious.

Take Care and keep in touch

Hi hun,

Wow that really helped, thank you. I’m a carer for my mum and I have 3 young kids my mum lives with us. My hubby works in tesco and it worries me a lot. Even with me when the news comes on I get all worried and thinking what’s next??? I worry to my mum is 83 in remission from cancer so she’s on strict orders she is to be at home.

I’m also home schooling now and I find it takes my mind off things.

I can’t get sleep most of the time and it takes me forever to actually fall asleep by the tine I sleep it’s time to wake up. I’ve started to get weird feelings within me.

I think this is the first time I’ve open up to a stranger and I want to thank you for sharing your personal stuff with me hun really means a lot.

I wish this night mare would end soon, too many lives taken and people suffering and worrying its truly worrying. Every time I feel something like a cough or a pain I search google to see what’s happening to me it’s too much.

I hope we can keep in touch you have really helped me,

Much love

Hi hope all is well.. difficulty sleeping tonight. Spent a little time in my garden yesterday. It’s well isolated and safe.. Feel lucky to have a garden.

I have to attend an appointment tomorrow at the hospital. Ultra Scan. Little edgy on it .. They have kept the appointment running. Missing my daughter too. Then i have the consultation following the appointment on Wednesday.

I’m not back in work until Thursday morning. Challenging week ahead. Feel like i need a good sleep and wake up when it’s all over.

Need to takes some action on looking after my Mental Health this week, meditation or deep breathing or a damn good cry clears the cobwebs.

Feeling very sad on the people that have lost love ones from this Virus. The NHS staff, and other essential workers, helping us. Scary times.

Not a very uplifting post lol .. hoping i feel better after my appointment tomorrow is out of the way.

How are you and your family ? how are you managing ?

Stay safe

Hi hun

How did today go? Hope you feeling positive and fresh. Did you sleep well last night

Wow .. you have a lot on your plate. I can understand why you are feeling anxious. Your Mum will be safe with you. I admire your strength.

Hope the home schooling is going ok, i bet that a lot of work. I know it must be so difficult, to find some ‘you time’ to relax and just be. perhaps a relaxing bath, calming music. I love Lavender oil, i put a couple of drops on a tissue near my bed and relax for 20 mins or so. The smell gives me a sense of good wellbeing. Try not to watch news. Allow yourself an update once a day.

I am exactly the same, sniffing here with probably a dust allergy, but then i google just in case it’s that Virus. Then i worry if i get it .. all sorts of anxious thoughts going round my head at 3.33 am in the morning, as i woke up at 2.40 from a dream and struggling to get back to sleep. This is a miserable, sad Scary time. Hope it’s over very soon.

Just been trying some deep breathing exercises, to ease this anxious knot in my tummy.

Take care, keep in touch on how your doing.

Speak Soon x

Hi hun,

I’m so glad, it’s so good that we can talk and I’m here as we are going through the same thing. If you ever need to rant I’m here. It’s ok but hard as our garden is not it’s best so kids are in doors, some how they keep themselves busy... my eldest is feeling it as it’s her last year and she may not be able to see her friends before they all

Go their own ways. I’m keeping myself busy as I can but at times I feel low as I’m not a person to juts stay in doors and wollow. What school do you teach at?

It seems that your doing well keep strong stay positive this will all be over soon and when it is it will be a breath of fresh air. Are you on face book or anything it will be nice if we can keep in touch some how...

Keep smiling hun

Hi.. aww yes I agree, it’s great we can chat on here.

I work in a primary school. I have heard many say that it’s going to be difficult for the older children who will be moving forward to join other schools. Not being able to say their goodbyes to friends and Teachers. I am not on any Social Media unfortunately, all goes over my head lol

How is your Mum dealing with the lockdown .. i bet it seems all very bizarre to her. However, they say that the older generation are hardened to it all.

The news is terrifying, trying to update by just watching it once a day. Keeping an eye on my Anxiety levels etc .. as it just makes it worse.

Stay Safe ! xx
