I am in my living room and then someone in the household comes over and starts to talk.. I'm about to lash out and say shut your mouth. I know this is a family space., But seriously this needs to stop. I'm frustrated with my assignment. I just don't understand the content. I need to step away.
I need to get better. I need to act with compassion. She didn't mean to talk and interrupt my concentration. But she did and I'm letting this get to me It doesn't help when the stores were NUTS and the lines of stupid people. It's been a frustrating day and I need quiet! End vent. |

Sorry that happened to you.
Now that people are told to avoid social contact to prevent spikes in illness that would overwhelm existing health systems, I would imagine more people will be at home, especially if some are there because of telework or closed schools and such. Unwelcome novelty often causes distress and sadness. I fear that present conditions might increase the incidence of anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. I hope things will get better for you in your unique situation and for everyone out there. -- Yao Wen |

Hey -- I mean the situation a lot of us are in right now with a lot of people staying home quite frankly sucks.
I don't mean to minimize what you were feeling with being interrupted. There are ways (you might find some) to minimize distractions even at home. Do you have headphones you could plug in and play some instrumental music or even white noise through them? I used to do that when I was studying for an online class and living at my family's home. Hope you find something that works! |

I let it get to me, and what I felt was valid, but I internalized the whole thing until I put it one here.
I have more stress, things are closing, and stores are a nightmare. I am still recovering from a sinus virus and having to confront my anxiety. It's terrible, and it is intensifying. I have taken two different meds to help and still feel anxious. I'm stressed out, anxious on top, and you're right, it does SUCK!! Then I think, how can I manage? And my options are not great. I don't want to isolate, but I feel forced to isolate. I also don't feel overly connected to anyone IRL. Well besides my T. I was hoping to let him know that the stomach pain was an anxiety attack with gas in my belly. With all that is happening, I'm questioning my sanity. And I can't doubt that!!! I have soo much to do. I did take about over an hour to crochet. It helped, but it added more anxiety. I"m barely hanging on. I need to prevent a crash. I don't need to seek inpatient, and it wouldn't help enough. Maybe this will make sense to some of you. What I seek is validation. Validation does not come easy, but often in times of struggle, it's what we all need, especially me now. I can feel my mood dipping—first time in several weeks. And I need to change this around. How do I deal with all this? On a positive note, My Muse is coming on Monday in the mail. I sure hope neurobiofeedback helps, and quickly. |
