I need a break

I've been doing a lot today, and I need a break. I've written a lot of articles, did a bit of cleaning, researched landscaping and did some measuring outside, did the gardening, and worked on my art project. I have an appointment in an hour, and I'm feeling restless and nervous about leaving the house. My father in law is driving me there and back, but as it gets closer to the time I have to leave, I start feeling a bit sick to my stomach. This happens almost every time now.

It happens to me as well when I have to leave the home to deal with my doctor appointments since I do get nervous having to deal with my mental health problems.

You got a lot done. I get nervous when I have to leave the house because my husband's driving is getting iffy; and I have so much trouble trying to walk. I'm sorry you have trouble leaving the house as well. I hope your appointment went well. Have a good weekend.

thank you judy. And I really need to talk to my psychiatrist today, so it's good I'm going. I just wish I could still do it over the phone like I did during covid

I, too, get anxiety when leaving the house. But we've got this!
