I am feeling really flakey/ anxiety etc

Hi all I am feeling really overwhelmed today. I can't go into detail about it because it's not helpful for others on the forum. I really don't want to trigger others. But I feel such high anxiety.

Hi @Angels333

I know what you mean.  Is there something you can do to help ease your anxiety.

Re: I am feeling really flakey/ anxiety etc

Sometimes I just go to bed and quietly rock back and forth in foetal position.

Sometimes it is calming things that help and other times it is more energetic (usually music, housework or exercise) that somehow absorbs the flooding of hormones and leaves me more tranquil.  I am getting used to the fact that I just have to manage it .. like everything in life .. I guess.

Re: I am feeling really flakey/ anxiety etc

Hi @Former-Member I am watching tv with my husband and kids it can be hard to stay in the moment, actually, you know what, I could do some colouring.. that's actually a really good idea. I see my psychiatrist on Wednesday and I want to bring up the idea about hospital but I do think that the reality of it may have a n overall more negative effect than positive.

I just feel similar to last week, anxiety makes my exhausted.

Please don't be worried if I don't reply tonight. I feel so tired but I receive so much encouragement reading your comments

I'm thankful for all of you ♡♡

Re: I am feeling really flakey/ anxiety etc

i'm glad you have some company, can you let your hubby know how things are for you? I hope that the colouring helps. I'm exhausted too, its abslutely exhausting in every way to be so on edge/anxious/overwhelmed all the time. i wish that i could have a break too.. ihope that your appt on wednesday is helpful,

take care of you, glad you are here and posting,
