((((((BlackPup)))))))) Sorry you didn't sleep well. I hope last night was better

(((((((((((((Denise)))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry you feel so bad. I really, really hope your mood lifts and things improve. And in the meantime I hope you can sleep and find some peace that way

(((((((Andy)))))))) I'm really sorry your anxiety is through the roof. I have major issues with anxiety myself and I know it feels like a prison from which there is no escape. I really hope it subsides very soon. Well done for not SI'ing.

((((((((((((DestroyMe))))))))))) Glad you have the day to yourself. I wish you peace!!

((((((((PT52))))))))) Really sorry you are feeling depressed and tearful today. I hope the feelings pass soon! Big hugs!!

I feel a lot better today and that is scary!!! Because I don't know why!! I have been feeling SO BAD (anxiety-wise and feeling physically unwell) for weeks now. And today it's so much better. Yet the randomness of my Anxiety Disorder just increases the anxiety. I want to understand how it works and to feel as if I have some control, but I don't understand it and I feel as if I have no control. My anxiety/panic attacks are often completely random. So, for example, I will be sitting at my desk feeling ok one minute, and then, out of nowhere, I will start to feel ill and then it escalates from there. Or I will wake up feeling incredibly anxious for no reason that I can fathom and I can't shake the anxiety all day, no matter what I do. And similarly, when I start to feel better again, that is completely random too.

Obviously I am very glad to be feeling better, yet I really don't like this feeling that I am completely at the mercy of my moods. I feel as if my mind and my body play tricks on me. And that is scary and makes me feel like I need to be constantly on guard.

And yet, today, for whatever reason, I feel so much better. The nausea is gone, my appetite is back, I have very little anxiety, I feel, to all intents and purposes, ok and "normal". I just don't get it!!

Well, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I will shut up now and just enjoy this anxiety-free time while it lasts!! I also want to remind myself here that BAD FEELINGS DO GO AWAY!!!!! When I'm stuck in them it feels like the anxiety and bad feelings will NEVER end. But feelings do change!!!

Hugs to all!!
