I just need someone to come and tell me that I don't have to worry or panic today. That they're on duty, they're going to take over for me, and I can get a decent rest. I can be happy today. That would be wonderful. Because I need it.

Thanks @Iamwhoiamwhoami and @juliak1968

I haven't had a day this rough in a very long time. Nothing is "actually" wrong right now. It's all my perception. It's all my "what ifs" and doom thinking, and I let it spiral out of control to the point where I just can't function right now.

@thoughtfulmomma

I can easily relate to that.

I do the same thing momma. Do you have any anxiety meds to take the edge off? I’ve had to use mine for the last month.

@CDK1972

I have diazepam, but I can't take it right now. I need to be alert and focused in case I need to run out the door to help a family member (who probably doesn't need me, but I feel they might, so I have to be "ready" to take care and fix things).

This is why I'm so exhausted.

Hi Momma, I know about perception changes and wrote this poem called Perceiving:



Perceiving what we believe in

is deceiving and has no meaning

as life's mistreating

dishes out this beating

........Leaving us bleeding

But we cant see it if we close our minds

....and we cant think about this when we're blind

so walk away and you will find,

a friend here waiting for a sign!

So take your time

.....and organize

whats on your mind

and you'll wisely find

you're not really behind

so relax your eyes and you'll realize

you're fine just the way you are!

And you can reach for the stars

put cream on the scars

and then healing transpires

The delusional parts only confuse our goals

...and they corrupt our souls

Leaving us with a heart full of holes.

Set goals now and your mind will see

what closed eyes have failed to believe

Don't let sight deceive & keep us on our knees

....throwing logic into the breeze.

Winds at your back excited

Winds of hope reignited me.

Step by step confide

so we can share secrets of life

........Thinking

"what could be?"

.......But only if we let it,

if you hold back you'll regret it!

"There, Now I've gone and said it!"

We hold ourselves down......

Dirty on the ground.....

I've found myself tormented and bound

by invisibility. ......

I've ignored all possibility.....

so I must set myself free

of a self-inflicted confined mystery

....That causes so much mind-bending mysery

Chin Up!

Blessings, Day

@thoughtfulmomma I understand you buddy. It's really exhausting.When experiencing anxiety, it is easy to overestimate risk and make unfounded negative conclusions about the outcome of an anxiety-ridden situation.Anxious thoughts often begin with “What if...” and end with a disastrous outcome...its something we can get hold of eventually. You are always welcome here ,to make it more manageable .
