Does anxiety really need to effect you so far away from what might be bothering?? I have a few things on my plate this week - a test, a dinner, a weekend trip, etc....that seem to be causing anxiety. At least that's what I think it is - I'm bitchy & sensitive. I truly hate to admit it but it's almost uncontrollable and it's not me normally. I'm not the anxious type.
The worst anxiety I remember experiencing is how I felt about 5 days before I'd get chemo. I went through 8 months of chemo for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2000. All is well now but that anxiety was THE WORST....talk about bitchy!
Anyhow, the only ways I know to relieve this feeling is deep breaths, exercise & stretching....oh, & continuously telling myself to relax. Actually, I really appreciated sharing some time with a newer friend today - for about 45 minutes I just enjoyed her company & conversation, anxiety-free. Thank you!
I'm off to chill & breath deeply -
