Daily "Drop Off Your Anxious Thought"

I know a person who loves to go hiking and it works for her. If your knee is up to it, maybe try that. You can even start simple with a walk in the park (easier on the knee). If the knee can't hack it, maybe just hang out in the park? I'm liking this park idea, as you can tell.

I'm afraid to sleep because I hate how I feel when I wake up. I just want one morning without anxiety.

Dropping off the idea that I'm always going to be like this.

Worrying about cancer

Since today is nearly over for me and I probably won't be back on till this time tomorrow, I am leaving my anxiety and fear (of losing my husband in some way), here for all of tomorrow. I'd like to let you guys misplace this for me, because I really don't want to come back and get this one ever....

I seem to fear this more when I am PMSing, so hopefully it can stay here for a few weeks anyway!

(((((((SL)))))))

Worried because one of my dogs is not eating properly and I'm playing out all kinds of catastrophic scenarios in my mind as to why this is so

Who is that wonderful person that thought of this. A lot of people are gonna stop by here.

This person shows a lot of promise.

When one door closes, another one will open.

I know today was due to excessive outside stress but I'm terrified that I'm getting worse.

I'm worried that I'm going to stress out all weekend. If I don't leave that thought here I'm sure I will. I'm going to try really hard to think of this post whenever I start dwelling on that.

Thanks sundog! I think it worked so far, leaving that thought here. I am checking in to make sure it was still here and drop off some nervous energy to keep it company!

I must say this was an incredible idea CyranO! Thanks for your insight!

You're not alone Sundog, I worry about that too. I don't even like to say or write the word, fear - fear - fear. Whenever my husband or I go for testing, I freak out.

Thank you (((((((muncie)))))))) I also don't like saying the word and I did think twice (more than twice!!) about posting that. Like I might "jinx" myself by actually saying the word out loud. But then I thought, well, maybe it would actually help to say it rather than keeping it as this big, "hidden" fear. The jury is still out on that one!!!!!

Thanks for your support

I have sent a package to someone special. I have tried very hard to condense it and put in a box with a big bow.

I hope that the box is opened and this person will enjoy the present.

I do not expect any presents back, a thank you note and a Ill try it on will be enough. I hope it fits.

I'm feeling very isolated and lonely. My social anxiety is really up, especially on Saturday evening. A friend called about going to a tango dance and lesson. I'm paralyzed at the moment. I hate this social anxiety. It's wrecked my life. ((((((Sundog))))))), I really hope that the dogs will be fine. I understand the worry. And to everyone here.

((((lavie))))

Not doing so good with leaving the anxiety here, so thought I'd try dropping it off here again. It must have snuck back in my brain when I visited earlier. My husband is out with some old friends tonight, but I can't seem to stop my mind from racing with thoughts, wordering if he's really with them or with another woman... and then I finally talked to my therapist on Friday and I facef the truth that my major source of anxiety comes from my fear of losing my husband in one form or another. It seems to run the entire spectrum of anything to him "just" leaving me, to leaving me for someone else, to him being killed in an accident, or watching him die of cancer or something. So tonight I am leaving this here so I can get a good night of sleep.

I really think that he is just depressed and that is all there is to it, but God, I wish he would share with me so that I wouldn't feel so unsure of what seems to me to be his secretive behavior lately. I just need to leave the fear here so I can continue to give him space and not push him further from me.

My anxious thoughts of the day: Why do I care so much about what other people think?? Why do I think I need to make them all happy or they will reject me?

That my wife doesn't really love me and she only stays with me because she needs my income and to help with the kids. But she doesn't really want me.

I'm just worried. I can't even say it! ((((Big hugs to everyone for sharing))))

Can I ever relate to you Sundog. I bet we have a lot more in common too. Don't you just wish that you could live your life without "fear and worry" dragging you down. I think there's a person inside me that wants to be free and happy, but after all these years it's doubtful she will ever surface, very sad.

How's your dog feeling, eating any better? I have 3 who I also love dearly.

I once tried to "drop off my anxious thought" here, but ended up making a super long list of things no one wants to read. So I just would like to say I did ok today. Not a great day, but not terrible. I think tomorrow will be better

animasana, as the creator of this thread I hereby grant you permission to post "a super long list of things no one wants to read." If it's helpful to you, go for it.

This thread is more about the poster than the reader.

I feel like the wife that isn't really loved and that my husband just stays with me because he knows I need his help supporting the kids and to pay the bills...He doesn't really want me....

Very much the same, but very different too!

Good luck!

I agree with you....POST, POST, POST...

SL, yeah two fears on different sides of the same coin. I hope your fear is as baseless and irrational as mine is (I hope).

Good luck to you too!
