Yesterday went bettter as the day went on. I did some deep breathing trying to focus on where the stress was. Focusing on my chest. That helped. I went outside and threw the football w my son. Then we went hiking on a small trail near the Smoky Mountains. I was actually proud of myself because I crossed over a stream on a log without shaking. I made myself do it.

I'm trying hard to use some techniques to relieve my anxiety instead of focusing on it. It helped a lot. I used to never be able to remember these things or I guess I thought they wouldn't work.

Thanks so much for the replies and support. Posting here helped most of all. This is my real salvation when I'm feeling off. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this place.
