Help with Anxiety

Today I've been very anxious. I had to deal with problems related to an upcoming surgery and I also had to deal with tax prep issues. Everything is resolved now. It's almost the end of my day. I kept working on everything until I found a solution. Yet, I'm still anxious. My body is not relaxed. I'm still feeling uncomfortable.

I made sure to cut back on coffee today. And I took an extra nap. I tried to read, but I couldn't get into the story. Not sure what I will do now. I wish I could go for a walk. I wonder if some fresh air will help me feel better. It's worth a try. I almost feel like I need to go back to bed. But deep down I wish I could talk to someone. I have no one to talk to. Makes me sad.

Hello Deilla,

It is so distressing not to have someone to talk to. I would be happy to communicate with you on this thread but I'm not sure my English is good enough. You've been through so much lately. I'm not sure I could cope as well as you have.

Hopefully your walk will provide some relief. I just went for a walk a little while ago and it relieved my mind quite a bit.

I hope you find relief soon and I wish you only good things! -- Yaowen

Thank you! I didn't go for my walk. I ended up watching the news. It got my mind off of things. Not sure it was the best idea. But it help put certain things into perspective. Glad you got to walk. Maybe tomorrow if it's nice, I could walk a little then.

I understand how you feel because I have anxiety myself. I wish I could ease your anxiety down through the screen.

Our situations sound similar. My anxiety is always miserable enough, but I'm also having surgery in a few weeks. Hello anxiety tripled

You can message me if you need to talk. Some days are harder than others. I hope you feel better soon.

How are you doing today Deilla?

It sounds like you had a full on day, you needed to get stuff done and you applied yourself to do it. I wonder if maybe your adrenaline got a little spike through this? It can happen without us knowing and suddenly we can feel a little restless, a little angsty.

I like the idea of physical movement such as walking, or maybe yoga. I find if I am focussing on the physical my brain is less likely to stress.

Hope you are feeling better today!

Hello! Thanks for all the support. Beth, I hope your surgery goes well for you. I've changed my mind about my surgery. I'm going to try an injection instead. If that doesn't help, I'll consider surgery again.

Today I have been busy with chores. That has helped keep the anxiety down. I like feeling productive. I have spent a lot of time playing one of my games. I find that relaxing. I just do crafting in-game. It's mindless.

Hope all of you are well!
