Anxiety after a Perfect Day---so far

Post Reply New Topic

Today at school has been wonderful. Everything has gone right. Everyone was in a good mood. We ate wonderful food. But now, as I sit here toward the end of the day---I am having ANXIETY. I am writing this post because I am hoping that me talking about it will make me feel better. I feel like I'm going to burst.

Is it because it is the last day of school for awhile (I am a teacher)?

Anyone else relate to a great day causing anxiety?

I feel a little better just having unloaded this, but I am still ready to climb the walls.

Thanks for listening.

I don't have too much advice. My advice tends to get me in trouble. But here it is, when I have anxiety I try to breathe deeply and focus on something soothing (like positive thoughts).
And, I just wanted to say that your posts are usually very encouraging. So I would imagine you're a very good teacher. Because that's an admirable quality.
So, have a great winter break!

Well, your routine is going to be a little messed up for a little while, and with the holidays coming up everything is busier and you are probably thinking about what will come over the holidays.

Tis the time of year Figure out whats causing it and decide if it's worth getting bent out of shape over. Once you recognize where it is coming from, it should be easier to just say "enough of that". At least to a certain extent.

Thank you sillyputty and Detren. I am feeling better this evening. We (my family) went out to eat. There was a really noisy table next to us, but I didn't let it bother me too much. We came home, and as soon as I set down and logged on to wrongplanet and read your responses, I felt the tension begin to leave. I feel calmer now. And it is nice and quiet in the family room where my laptop is. My sons have gone to bed, and wife is upstairs reading a book. So it's just me and the fish aquarium, and wrongplanet.

Sometimes it just helps to talk about these things with others that understand these issues.

Thank you sillyputty for appreciating my posts---that means a lot to me. And yes Detren, I will try to figure it out what it is that is causing me some turmoil this Christmas. I know one thing that is different this year. I usually put up 35 Christmas trees in the house, and this year I didn't do that. I have realized that was an obsession that wasn't necessary. So even though my family is happier without the forest in the house, I just can't believe Christmas is less than a week away.
