:unsure:
Had a bad night/early morning, so today's mission at work was to google anxiety forum and here I am. Anxious to start reading and see what is helping others with their anxiety. Looking back, I think I've had anxiety issues my whole life. I remember being panicked during sleepovers as a kid, summer camp, weekend band trips in high school, etc. Seems like I've always just felt vaguely uneasy about life in general, and sometimes it spins out of control. It's like my brain gets on this downward spiral of negative thoughts and awaaaaaay we go. Can't shut it off.
Anyway, we've had some serious financial issues for going on 3 years now, and of course that doesn't help. I can usually manage to keep things in check with my daily 5mg Lexapro, yoga, dog walking, deep breathing, etc. But sometimes I can't.
I'm going to prowl around and see how others are doing. Seriously considering trying to find Lucinda Bassett's program on eBay (cheap, I hope!) and see if I can get the upper hand on this. I hate feeling out of control and think I'm missing out on a LOT of life because of it.
Wish me luck--see you soon!
