Aniticipatory Anxieties

[XmasCarol52]

I am having so much anticipatory anxieties right now I just don't know what to do.I shake and just cannot get bad things out of my mind>I went outside today it helped some I don't know maybe it has something to do with the sun and the outdoors but the minute I set foot back inside the anticipatory anxieties become much worse ,don't get me wrong I still have them when I am outside but not as bad probably because I am thinking on something else.Why can't they just go away I am worried about every little darn thing.From money to the doctors to my rides,my kids,my health I just do not know what it is like anymore not to be worried or anxious. Sometimes I feel like life just isn't worth living with all of these worries and anxieties.Even my depression stinks I did cry some to.

One of my therapists who came to see me last week gave me a tip to dealing with this Carol. She said that I had to ground myself and explained the right and left brain to me.

She told me to look in the mirror at myself and say out loud factual things about myself. Like my name for example, my birthdate, address and things like that. She said it must be factual things 'my hair is brown, my eyes are green' type of thing and to do this for at least thirty seconds.

I'm not sure if it works yet, but give it a try.

I'm sending you hugs Carol, you are loved and cared for - hugs to you my friend!

That sounds like a good idea anything to help with this anticipatory anxieties,it just seems like I live every day of my life with some kind of worry and anxieties.Thank you my friend u are loved and cared for to.Here is a big hug for you as well.. I just love hugs they seem to make me feel better.Not everyone likes them and I cannot figure out why but to me it is a nice way to show someone u care hugs.

So I went outside but only for about forty minutes it is so hot and brutal out there I already had to put my ac on.If it hadn't been so unbearable outside i would have stayed out much longer because it actually helps my mood.I just cannot stand the heat and humidity.Yet at the same time I didn't want to come inside because I would be stuck inside all over again.Cannot win can we? Looking at the same walls over and over again can drive anyone nuts especially when the color of the walls are the same exact color through the entire apartment ugh. Anyone care for some ice cream? Or please send me a nice hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top.
