So, these last couple of days I have increased anxiety, I hate it! I've had a crummy cold the last week now, my head feels plugged, kind of off in la la land these last couple of days, also, it's that time of the month so increased hormones obviously probably don't help, my mind just seems to be racing about nothing and it's giving me more anxiety. I feel like my mind is going 100 mph about nothing and it's freaking me out a little bit!!! I don't like it at all!!!!

I do taxes, own a tax office, it's the last week of tax season, found out yesterday my grand dad is in the hospital, but doing okay so far, my husband wants to move or buy a new house, I tried to be all for it, but I DON'T WANT TO MOVE right now, not at all, I was looking at house after house after house and none of them are at all what I want and that got me even more frustrated. I feel like maybe it's all too much at one time maybe?!?!?!

I just don't feel good, I want to be okay, but I feel like I'm gonna just lose it. I don't want to , I hate this feeling I really do. Am I going to be okay??????? Just really would like some words of comfort right now please?!

Hi Mom,
Yes, I here, and I'm listening. I can offer you comforting words. Your mind IS racing and jumping from subject to subject, which is making you anxious.
When this happens to me, I try to live in the moment. I told that to my daughter yesterday, when she was experiencing Sunday night anxiety. (back to work anxiety)
Just try to notice what is right in front of you right now, and pay attention to the details. Are you at a window? Look out at a tree and notice it's shape, etc.
These are calming tactics I find useful. Mindfulness.
XOXO
PS
Just know that if you don't want to move, then you don't have to.

Saw the word MOVE and my head started to spin. Took me a while to collect myself. Betty Friedan had already published her earth shaking book (The Feminine Mystique) but here on earth not much had yet changed when I was confronted with a cross country move that just about got me locked up.

Times have changed: the power is no longer handed over on a silver platter. Do speak up and discuss this with husband. Your voice counts. Also it is a buyer's market, so take your time and find what you want. Will it be perfect? Maybe; maybe not. Many things can be corrected, but not location. Best to you.

Of course you are going to be okay...What other choice do you have. The majority of people suffering with anxiety are kind, caring, loving human beings. You give everything of yourself and sometimes feel guilty its not enough I am guessing. Give yourself a little break. Rome was not built in a day and so the reality is you are not going to be able to do everything in a day either...lol...Hope you thought that was funny. When you realize there is no such thing as perfect I think you will come to the realization that your anxiety will decrease in severity. If you don't want to live somewhere else then don't...You have a say just like anyone else you share a life with. I hope this helps...Take care and stay blessed.
