It began yesterday evening and has steadily climbed to a full anxiety attack that greeted me this morning. The best I can do is ride it out and keep myself as calm as possible. I rarely have panic attacks these days. As long as I’m handling life ok I don’t have them. Anxiety and anxietyContinue reading “Knitting Away Anxiety”

Something Really Strange Happened
We decided to have Taco Bell for dinner tonight. Usually I make my husband go get takeout, or do the quick store runs in the evenings. I’m usually pooped by this point, even on my days off. I just don’t want to leave the house. Tonight, however, even though it was my husband’s idea, IContinue reading “Something Really Strange Happened”
I’m in so much pain right now. This tooth has been a problem for way too long. It’s coming out in about a week. But seriously, this sucks. I’m terrible with tooth pain. I’ve had some really traumatic experiences with dentists and orthodontists. I’ve been a mouth breather for most of my life due toContinue reading
It’s Not Just Making a Phone Call
On the surface it sounds simple enough. Just pick up the phone and do it. But it’s so much more complicated than that. First, I need a script. I have a tendency to freeze when I panic, or forget everything as soon as the other person says “hello”. So I will practice what I needContinue reading “It’s Not Just Making a Phone Call”
I’m Doing It
It’s that time of year again. I’m getting myself organized and trying to check things off my ‘to do’ list that have been mounting the anxiety attacks as they sat unattended. First, make a list. It may sound silly, but actually making the list has been more than I can bear. So I decided toContinue reading “I’m Doing It”
Seriously Anxiety!
I’ve taken a few more days off from working out than I had been planning. My mom’s visits usually do that. But now I’m suffering the consequences. Today’s anxiety is sort of like an unexplained dread. I’m starting a new adventure (I am taking on a second massage job) and the great unknown is unnerving.Continue reading “Seriously Anxiety!”
Trying Some Self Care… Again
Well, I’m at it once more. Trying to start a workout routine. I’ve been in too much pain and feeling really weak. My anxiety has been leaving me flat and tired way too often. It’s time to make a change. Again. So, I’m trying a new approach and maybe even a bit of my ownContinue reading “Trying Some Self Care… Again”
Knitting Away Anxiety
Today was spent choking on my anxiety. There were things I wanted to do. Projects I wanted to make progress on. A lawn that needs mowed. A house that needs cleaned. I tried to just rest and not let all my to-do’s swallow me, but I wasn’t very successful. I played Sims on my phone,Continue reading “Knitting Away Anxiety”
Dear Knitting,
Can we please find our rhythm again? My anxiety has been sky high lately and you’ve always been able to steady my hands. To ease my chest. To smooth the dangerous rapids in my brain to a babbling brook. But we’ve had to rip out a lot of the progress we’ve made. Many months IContinue reading “Dear Knitting,”
It’s Been a While
I have been regularly writing posts. I swear. They’re just all in my head. My mind and my body have been so restless I spend most of my time wandering around taking care of this or that in order to relax and then run out of time to do so. Because of the restlessness, myContinue reading “It’s Been a While”
