Tonight i have to be home, as usual, but to give someone 2 tray tables i'm selling on Facebook local. I sold the two that are in good condition for a total of $10 combined just to get someone to want them and take them out of my closet so my apt is less cluttered :) He will come by i think around 7pm to pick them up and i'll bring them downstairs :)
Ricky slept over Sunday night into this morning and that has helped me sleep so much. Usually it's the opposite with me, but, lately i feel much better around someone who cares about me.

I've felt that living with anxiety, well... and depression (my issue) is like waves in the ocean. The more coping skills and cognitive perspectives you learn, the better one is able to ride out the waves, coasting along, never fearing the next wave that life will bring, but knowing in your heart, that you have it in you to get on top of any wave, big or small, fast or slow, and ride it out.
I agree with Happy. You are smart and strong. You will prevail.

when i had surgery and stuff, the first 2 days i hardly ate. and i was eating a little less going into this whole thing around 2 months ago. so, the few days all caught up in addition to also a fasting day for the Jewish religion...

I was anxious this morning on the train and also had a panic attack while driving yesterday on the highway and had to pull over. i'm hopeful that i'll get over these feelings by taking a breather. any suggestions you have, i'm open to them all. After being back to work a week, it seems i need to work on some things now that are coming back some unwelcome, but, i can get over them, i know...although it's frustrating to face some of the anxious thoughts again.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
How scary to have an attack while driving! You did the right thing by pulling over to "reset" yourself. In fact, you may find that you have days where you are pausing to "reset" yourself more often, and then you will have better days where it's not necessary. I would encourage you to trust the process and trust in yourself & your abilities.
I've read that when you're in the middle of an anxiety episode, that it's helpful to focus on a series of sensory things to "reset" yourself. So it would be something like, Find 4 things of a certain color, identify 3 things of a certain shape, identify 2 different sounds, 1 scent....
I'm thinking about looking into meditation techniques to help me during work. This might help you too. It's about stepping back, focusing on breathing, centering yourself -- kind of like what we do when we get dizzy. We stop, slow down, refocus, and then move on.

Like BCGG, i got up and motivated to clean up. So i cleaned the Guniea Pig cage and a little bit in the hamster cage. Then, I started some laundry. It will all be done by 10am :)
Later, I have therapy at 1:15pm and i think i may leave my apt earlier, if possible, to see about volunteering as a dog walker at a shelter located close to the therapy location (i may wait a couple weeks on this still...)
also, it's the best deal of the year for candles at bath and body works so even though i have been using some of my savings since i have been out of work, i'm taking advantage of the day and will stop there late this morning to buy 2-3 candles since i like to use them in my apt here and there...i make good use of them.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
I love candles!!! What kind did you get?
Oh and great idea about the dog walking!!!

I love Facebook marketplace!!
When my husband worked nights or was out of town for work, I never slept quite as well as when he was home. It's comforting.
yes, i've never been this way, well almost never. Now i appreciate having people around me at my apt - at least right now.
and yes, it's Facebook Marketplace :) ...a good way for me to get rid of some things :)
legcramps on 12/16/2019:

Having people around is helping me quite a bit. I prefer it right now very much...
happy-1 on 12/16/2019:
