I woke up this morning feeling OK. Now...not so much. I'm keeping my neice's dog for a couple of weeks until they get settled in their new house. She's a bit hyper and easily excitable. She's making me a little anxious. Top that off with the fact that I'm not feeling well today and now I'm a mess!! I don't handle sickness very well on a good day. I think the combination of not feeling well, the dog and worrying about not feeling well are making whatever is wrong with me worse! Self-talk doesn't seem to be helping much. What I really want to do is just go to bed, but I can't do that. Ughhh...I hate days like today!

hey jason, hang in there. see the dog as excitement,, shes excited to be around u. the minute the dog lays there and doesnt want to do anything thats when their feeding off ur energy.. feeling under the weather. eat some soup, even if its hot outside, drink some tea.. and watch a funny movie.. the minute u feel overwhelmed with anxiety/anxious,, write it down in ur journal.. and tell urself..." im fine, this is all in my head" it works for me, give it a try.. and dont forget to do ur relaxation tape... goodluck.. this too shall pass
