Holy Anxiety Batman ... tired and I don't know

Post Reply New Topic

I have been really trying to do some positive things with my life. I think I am getting somewhere, but then I keep getting smacked with the realization I am me and - I guess at 46 - I get tired.

I don't know. I have a lot of anxiety right now and I do not know if it is contributor or cause or "just in the mix" of this. I think I expect to go "from zero to sixty". Okay, got it, I'll fix it now - and what is to fix? Me?

Maybe this is post holiday hoo-ha. Maybe I just need to get back to school and into a routine. I am so out of sorts. I made a friend at school and she knows I have AS - she wants to come hang out this weekend and I don't know. I don't know if it would be a good thing or if it would just add stress right now. I know I am wandering around in my thoughts, sorry.

This started out because I've been rattling around the house cleaning up holiday decor ... that I did not put up ... and I was really getting whipped up with anxiety. Then as I sit here to type - glad I had "somewhere to go" - I don't know how I feel, I just know I am out of sorts.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes just writing it all down feels like youve told someone. That in itself sometimes makes it better

Thanks much, both. It does feel better to write it down - but also to have people write back. It helped me get some perspective and figure out what I need to do for myself right now. I realized I was right at the panic attack zone - I was whipping up imminent diseases for myself. I've been spending a lot of time on the computer and so I am going to shut it off until tomorrow. I have a little part time job I have to do tonight and then I am going to play with a painting I am doing.

Have a good night - I am going to go 'do my thing" now.

Thanks again, LM

It’s so good to be able to share stuff on this forum. Even when there’s no real solution, everything makes sense here.

Enjoy your painting and whatever other positive activities you can find.

I agree and thank you so much - I am just plain tired today. I woke feeling the knots in my muscles, so at least I am aware and have a physical marker for the stress and anxiety to work on - I did some yoga last night - which I have been "off", and I will keep doing it periodically through the day to work out the kinks - mind/body/body/mind ... slowly but surely.

Thank you all again.

Hang out with your friend. You'll feel better.

Ironically, my friend cancelled. I watched Ice Age Continental Drift , though. I like Scrat
