Anxiety Self Help

I wanted to write this blog today so that you can read how my life went today. What a beautiful day it was! I live in Orange County, California and was here and there today within it. I went from one city to another, ending up at Laguna Beach with my daughter. I took her to the beach in that city and it was such a wonderful day. I felt so much love just watching her run and play in the ocean on this hot December day. I think I fell in lover with her all over again just like it was the first day she took her first breath. It was so amazing as I watched her chase waves in front of the sunset.

I hope everyone else had their own special day as I had and if not, you will; and when you do, please post so I can read it and maybe do the same as you had done.

So I'm spending my employer’s dollar to write this blog so I better make it good :-)

I have a few questions maybe some of you might be able to help me out with.

The first question has to do with friends. Do you think it's better to have a friend that does or doesn't have anxieties?

Has anyone had a good or bad experience with telling a person that you have anxieties/social concerns?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I'm constantly running through scenarios about how much I want to divulge to a new friend I make about myself. At times it seems overwhelming, and others a blessing. Also, has anyone joined some local support groups that they physically attend or at least meet-up with a few folks that have similar disorder traits? I’m wondering if meeting people of similar nature would be uplifting for ones soul. I’m having a hard time thinking that I’m the only one in my area that has anxiety/panic issues so figuring that there has got to be a nice support group around. It just makes sense to join so that folks can support each other in high or low times.

Well hope everyone is progressing forward in having a good day and or week.

Hi everyone, I'm passing some good vibes to you all and those are that "YOU," yes you, will have a good day. I believe in you and will not take no for an answer.

It's in our right to have a good day without any unwanted thoughts. Take a break from being you and be the person who is relaxed and worry free. You owe it to yourself.

Happy day,

Nic

How lonely is lonely?

There are times when I wished I meet someone like myself; happy, sad, scared, has anxieties and its developments. I’m sure there are lots of people around me but no one reaches out. I’m not asking for a sign to be placed on a person’s back or an entry next to a name and number in the white pages, all I’m asking for is a sign, a hint. Would it help me in my time of need to know that I could count on you for strength?

Silly as it sounds, playing the role of “everything is okay” is very hard and I have been doing it for years. I sit at my desk, working away, having a good time for the most part, then frustration sets in and I scramble to figure out what I just did to trigger the signs of anxieties; heavy breathing, chest hurting, having difficulty holding a conversation without gasping for air. Was it the food I ate, the jumps I’ve been taking with being sociable, the way I sit in my chair in a slouch position, or was it the stress I’ve been under for the past two weeks? I just don’t know.

So how would a friend help me in my time of need? A text, phone call, words of encouragement or distraction, what is it? I’ve got all those things that I can practice, I believe, although it’s exhausting and I’m running out of energy.

Seclusion sounds extremely quiet so do I dare, or shall I get noisy or let myself emerge in noise; background preferably. Kind of like a bird standing on a wire high up in the sky. I can just feel the danger now with my heart pounding from being up in such heights. So am I anxious anymore or just scared?  

What about friendship or something more serious such as “kiddy-like” feelings. Those sound fun and more heartwarming than the high wire.

So how lonely is lonely? I don’t really know. Maybe if I start from the other end and think,

Can being in company become too social?

what a good song to play when content...
