Uuuugh...

Don't know where else to put this... (shivers) I've got this awful feeling of doom... sadness... loneliness. Don't know where it's coming from.

Just got back from taking my dog for a walk and I felt like someone or something was watching me and it wasn't good. (shivers) Couldn't get in the house fast enough and the dog was dragging her tail. ggrrr Dippy dog!

I'm tired, I need to go to bed and get some sleep, but... I'm afraid to. Dang, what's wrong with me?? I want my mommy! For all the good she do me... (I'm almost 65, BTW, and I still want my mommy. )

I'm scared but I don't know of what...

hmh maybe find something to take your mind off of this i hope you can sleep well tonight

Mmmm... I played some music but it only helps as long as I play it. I'm too tired to care whether it plays or not.

I'm so sorry you had a rough evening. Are you feeling better today? Please let us know.

I don't really think it was anyone really watching me. An icky feeling had started before I ever went out. You can bet I secured my doors and windows and closed every drape and curtain I could! When I finally crawled in bed, I covered my head as well... which usually I can't stand to do.

Maybe it's that kind of anxiety that lasts for days and is so hard to get rid of. Ugh! I've taken my anti-anxiety medicine today... but it's taking its sweet time taking effect. I still feel nervous and my stomach is tight.

It IS unnerving! I usually get it and can't figure out WHY. Now that I've slept on it, I'm thinking it's low grade anxiety. No full blown panic attacks. My mind will latch on to something scary and won't let go.

Either sleep or the light of day made it a bit better, not to mention the anti-anxiety med. I think I'd rather be depressed...

Somewhat better, Hon. Hope I can manage to stay busy until it's time to go to the grandkids' end of the year program.

Oh, I want a new life and a new body!

RELAX!

Drink some tea, watch some TV, and call up some old friends. Let the anxiety breathe for a while. It's not a ROTTEN feeling, like others suggested. It's just a feeling, and all the fighting your doing to avoid it just causes more distress. Whatever's causing you to think the feeling is rotten or bad is the same mentality that's causing all of your unrest. Just do your best to relax and don't make it into a big deal.

(((((SeptemberMorn))))) I know how awful it is to feel this way. I'm so sorry that you're in this place right now. One thing that gives me a sliver of comfort is that this is an element of my disease. When my doctor first told me that, it felt as if a weight had been lifted off of me. I still get the feelings, but in the back of my mind there's a little voice that reminds me that it's part of the disease, there's a chance it won't happen.

It's terrible having that "just below the surface" feeling. Something you can't put your finger on but still feels like it is there.

Get out some of the fabric the fabric fairy sent you and try something new for a change. Maybe do a little sew n sew

Maybe it will be enough to get your mind off your uneasiness.

((((( SeptemberMorn )))))

Maybe it doesn't bother you to feel like something is watching you from above and there's no place to hide, especially in the middle of the night, but it scares the pee water outta ME!

I didn't realize it was anxiety until this morning. It's under control for the time being.

Yeah, most of the time I can recognize it and knowing it's part of my illness makes it easier to take. Last night I didn't recognize it... not till this morning.

ARGH!! I tried to post some pictures of my "sew & sew" but I couldn't get them resized.

Check your PMs, Fabric Fairy!

I can completely relate to those anxiety attacks that you can't really figure out what the feeling is. Most times I can't even figure out where they come from in the first place. I get like that alone in my house even with all my doggies there that I know will protect me. I get that fearful feeling sometimes. I'm glad you have a med that helps.....that is awsome.

The med I took for anxiety is rather strong & I am afraid to take it now that I am completely alone & have to function....as sometimes when I take even a small dose, it leaves me completely non functional until I can get through the after effect.

Take care of yourself....hopefully you can put your finger on what the cause is.

I'm so sorry!!!!



I've had that feelings many times over in the past and it's definitely no walk through the park! It's a horrible feeling!

{{{{{{{{{{Debbie}}}}}}}}}}} It's pretty certain that it's a low grade anxiety. You have anti-anxiety meds, don't you?

Sometimes it comes on without warning or a reason, sometimes it's added stress or it can be a trigger from the past. I figured out, finally, a couple of the things that brought it on for me. I've been under some stress with everyday things that sometimes just don't get processed as quickly as I need to process them and let them go and something that normally doesn't bother me any more will come up. That's what happened the other night. Jerry read a short article off the Internet to me about someone starting a program or a site or a service or something where people can email loved ones AFTER the Rapture. That got my imagination going and obviously went off in the wrong direction.

I'm much better now, though.

It IS a horrible feeling! You feel so helpless, too!

I hope that the feeling doesn't come over you for a long, long time!

darling {{{{{Sept}}}}}

the silver lining to your cloud is that it reminded us we haven't taken our anti-anxiety meds

never know when one of these posts will help another member

Go take your meds, silly!
