She met them without wearing a mask. Those people came into our house, also not wearing a mask. We turned off the electricity and it turned off the air conditioner. We probably have Covid viruses everywhere in the house now. My anxiety is sky rocketing and I feel drowsy and nauseous. Now my mom and sister are arguing with each other. I’m in my room trembling.

I’m so sorry 12am

I just had to take some anti-anxiety medication because I'm feeling so anxious. I hope it just takes the edge off and doesn't make me sleepy. I'm at work today. No nap today.

Ughh I’m bored out of my mind. So much for my 3 day tech break. It lasted last night till today at 1pm. At least it was a little break. Sometimes all the information available on the internet is just overwhelming and I need to take a step back. But then I’m like well, if I stay offline I’ll have zero interaction with people till the weekend and that’s probably not healthy since I don’t live with anyone or have any company at all.

Sometimes ill take a break from the news or Pc or whatever but not all tech, that’s way too hard.

I like to know everything so I’m almost always on my phone. But if you’re overwhelmed by certain things just block those off for a while don’t cut out everything.

Like if I find myself overwhelmed with news I put on a movie or tv show and avoid twitter and my news apps and only stick to my fun social media apps.

Yeah that’s a good idea

newtus · May 20, 2020, 12:47 PM

I only allow reading the news for 5 min 3 times a day. Otherwise I limit my tech to immediate interactions with people or playing video games. At least I try.

Oh and the news I read I Twitter trending top 10 in the explore page. It only take 5 min to look over cuz it’s a sentence a piece for each topic. Unless I click on it.

Got out and went to my dads but having some anxiety now back home.

I feel better. I lost it for a bit.

downandlonely · May 20, 2020, 02:28 PM

Glad you feel better.

Glad you feel better @12AM

So just when my mom is finally in remission, now she’s got a weak heart

I’m not sure exactly what that means or what she can do about it....they’re going to run more tests next month I guess but it’s pretty scary to me....

SlumberKitty · May 20, 2020, 02:37 PM

HUGS SP!!! That seems very scary. I hope the tests can tell you guys more of what is going on. Prayers for your Mom if that's okay.

SlumberKitty · May 20, 2020, 02:40 PM

This anxiety is kicking my butt today. I texted a friend and my Pastor's wife. Pastor's wife texted back. She said something like, "This is me telling you that you are okay. And I love you for being real in this life." There was more to the text but that part stood out to me. I'm debating about whether to take more anxiety medication or just trying to do more mindful breathing and chair yoga and stuff like that.

Yeah luckily she’s off chemo now because that will add to it. Prayers are always welcome.

newtus · May 20, 2020, 02:46 PM

Praying for you SP! May God bless your mother during this time.

12AM · May 20, 2020, 02:54 PM

She’s in my prayer, SP

SlumberKitty · May 20, 2020, 03:50 PM

Aargh. Anxiety still not under control. I'm rocking, trying to do self soothing stuff and it's like the anxiety is just sky rocketing. Breathing. Breathing. Yoga. Breathing. Meditating. Still anxiety reigns. Not sure what else to do. Sigh.

Are you breathing into your belly?

Yes, I am. Except when I'm doing yoga, then it's a lighter breathing. I think it's just that I'm on just this side of a panic attack.

SlumberKitty · May 20, 2020, 04:00 PM

A walk would probably be helpful but I'm at work so it's not really practical right now.

What are your thoughts like...could you be amplifying it with negative thinking?

newtus · May 20, 2020, 04:18 PM

Y’all remember when my back would hurt for years when I’d wake up, when I was living with my dad?

Ever since we’ve had this Purple brand mattress, my back feels like a newborn babies back every morning (assuming theirs doesnt hurt after being born). I sleep so incredibly good too every night. My back was hurting every morning for 10 years!!! What a relief. Now it just hurts due to posture.
