Do not become out of order. There are many ways and things you can try to help. Everyone feels different and may experience some or all of these and maybe in a different way.. But, just always look for this or anything that is changing. Good for one to keep track of and also others around you can use as a guide.. to follow what is happening to you and how it effects you and others.
When you arent enjoying life and are not wanting to live but just survive.. it is time to get on with tips to help you manage this and or deal ..ie.. cope better..
There are so many things you can do to help, but I .. when other things were depleted.. started tightening my fists and holding the grip as long as I could at least 5 seconds.. then let all muscles loose and relax. Then try to move on to other muscles in your body.. just be careful though.. this if not done right can cause muscles spasms, cramps, Charlie horses etc.. and that sucks.. SO DO NOT DO THAT !! Breathing Techniques are a good place to start !!
Don't get stuck in unhealthy habits and it is ok to always take that brave face off. THAT BITCH CAN GO. You dont need that anymore peoples..
Rule of Thrumb to remember.. Anxiety is like the ocean.. it can be extremely stormy & wild at times
Like the weather.. it will pass and peace & calm will return in time !!!
Reach out for help Y'all. There are so many out there to help and each I am sure.. has its own methods that could work for you.
So waiting for cooler days to come.. Ready for Fuzzy socks... Strong yummy coffee.. Good books, Good movies.. and of course a strong wifi signal..
