Long anxiety filled day is over

The dishes are done

I am alone right now relaxing on my couch. I got the dishes all done so I have no chores left. My kids went to bed late tonight because my son got a really long bad nosebleed while he was in the tub. I won't be writing why but today I had such bad anxiety. I am so glad the day is over. I think things are going to get worse before they get better...if they do get better. I need to muster up some energy to go clean some of the cellar. It has been such a big job cleaning up after the oil spill I just feel too overwhelmed to do it most nights.

I hope you are feeling better. I have anxiety too - and nothing leaves me feeling more helpless and hopeless than an anxiety attack. I do deep breathing and meditation but sometimes it takes a long time for the anxiety to dissipate. I think it is great you were able to get anything done at all - most times I just want to shut down. Things will get better - they always do eventually. Hang in there.

I was hoping that but today things just got worse. I am going to be very sad for quite a long time. It snowed yesterday and today. I hope it improves soon so I can at least get outside and take my mind off things.

@shaggin I am sorry you are feeling so sad. The weather affects me a lot - I am so glad spring is finally coming here where I live in Spokane, Washington. Winter is just depressing. Hope things get better for you soon.

@beckish It is a little rainy here today but warmer. Its about 50. I hate the weather in the winter it makes me bummed to be stuck in the house because of the cold. In the summer I feel so much better being able to get out and enjoy the sun and warmth.

@Ruby3881 I was able to get mail out of it today. I will probably use it until it becomes completely unusable lol.

I'm glad that you're finally able to relax a little. Anxiety isn't easy to deal with. I hope you son is doing better. Hopefully he won't get another nosebleed.

It was so bad this day as my mans son was being hyper and too rough. He yelled at my son called him a name and I don't think adults should do that to kids especially when he didn't want my daughter calling his son names. But its okay if an adult does it right? Not in my eyes. Its something we haven't talked about because I haven't really talked to him much since he said he was moving out.

@shaggin honestly I agree with you. Adults should not be calling kids names. If he doesn't want your daughter doing it, he shouldn't be doing it either. He's just setting a bad example for her.

well, you need to sleep to recharge again. My dog had a nose bleed before recently so I know the feeling.

Wow what a mess that would make with a dog getting a nose bleed. They can't hold tissues on it like humans can. I got some sleep but today things got worse. I am so upset. I just wrote a post about it. My man is moving out.

I hope you get a good sleep to get off with anxiety.

If I get a good nights sleep it will help get rid of some of the anxiety. I get worse with less sleep. I hopefully will get to bed shortly. I just showered and am just waiting for my man to get home.

Thank you. I am hoping to go to bed soon. I am spending some down time right now here at mylot. I have to wake my son up to go to the bathroom so he won't have an accident then I may read for a bit. My man just texted me from the bar telling me he made it back to town safely. He stopped to get food and a drink and is watching wrestle mania. He told me to go to bed. I didnt expect to hear from him so I really appeciated his text. I worry to much when hes gone though I won't be able to go to sleep until he's home.

Sometimes it helps to talk about it! Either way Im sorry you had a rough day. Tomorrow is another day and it will surely be better.

I probably should talk about it but I just never seem to be able to do that. I get mad and just stay silent and then over the next bunch of hours I think of all the things I should have said. But then things kind of blow ovee and everything just goes unsaid. Nothing gets resolved but nothing gets better ir worse either :-/
