Anxiety and My Plans to Kick Mine’s Ass

DSCF1044

I’ve been suffering from extreme anxiety lately.  It seemed to be aggravated by a trip to the ER about 3 weeks ago from a gallbladder attack.  Since then, I’ve been struggling daily and needing to take my as-needed medicine daily…  I normally can make a bottle of Xanax last for several months, not this bottle.

Obviously, yoga is my first love.  And I’m continuing to do that daily.   But I need to work more on this.  And I’ve been trying to find the time to walk at least 30 minutes a day.  I’d like to do it for an hour a day, but I just can’t seem to squeeze that time into my already busy day.

Also, what I have found is art.  The other day I was having a major anxiety attack.  I sat down to prepare some art stuff for my upcoming class.  Almost immediately, I felt my body relax as I melted into cutting, drawing, etc.  I’m not a talented artist, but I love art.  So I’ve ordered myself a few art supplies.

I’d like to spend more time meditating.  I’m not sure how to squeeze this in either.  Or where I’d find the quiet for it.

And I’d like to start writing in a journal again BY HAND!

In the meanwhile, I’m just trying to stay afloat.

  1. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I set up a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year older daughter and said “You can take notice of the ocean if you situate this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. Here was a hermit crab inner recesses and it pinched her ear. She never needs to go back! LoL I make out this is completely rotten focus nevertheless I had to know someone!
