So, I've noticed that we're all full of negativity at the moment, and with good reason. I thought it might be good to talk about the GOOD things going on in our lives at the moment, and the things we are thankful for :)
For me, my daughter is my shining light. She is 2 and has enough energy for the both of us *^_^* she makes me smile and laugh like nobody else can and is in perfect health. Very thankful for that :)
My family are a never ending source of support that I couldn't live without. Even though they don't understand what goes on in my head, they try to... and thats enough :)
My boyfriend is the one thing that I had been missing. I have had three long term relationships before now, but he is unlike anyone I've ever known. I always heard stories about people finding their "other half" and he really is mine. He saw "anxious Lou" for the first time last weekend, and I couldn't have imagined a better person to have with me during the biggest panic attack of my life. I went and sat on his bed, barely able to breathe and he came in with a glass of ice water, turned all the lights off and sat behind me, his face buried in the side of my neck and his arms around my waist and got me to breathe slowly with him until it passed and I fell asleep. He then tucked me in and laid with me until morning.
My best friend suffers with mild anxiety and she is always there to lend a sympathetic ear. She can be judgmental at times, but for the most part is an absolute gem.
Most people seem confused and a little scared by anxiety, but it's the people who actually care about you that we should take time to remember we have.
Try to remind yourself every day that you are still here, still breathing, still an important part of many peoples lives.
Chin up, lovelies. <3
