One thought leads to another.....

So it's been awhile since I have written anything. Life is BUSY! I've really been having a great week as far as my anxiety and overall mood go. Monday wasn't very good though. Sometimes I have those days where I wake up and just seem completely overwhelmed. When I'm in that mood I can't imagine doing anything or going anywhere. It just feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and every worry that goes along with that. 


I'm not sure why certain days are harder than others. Nothing ever seems to trigger it. I just wake up and I'm completely anxious. I feel almost crazy even saying it sometimes because in the back of my head I know there is NO reason to feel like this. I worry about every single little thing that has happened, will happen or may never happen. It seems like an impossible task just to get of off the couch. It does help that I have a 4 year old there to motivate me to do stuff but it still is a struggle. These type of days don't happen very often but when they do it makes the next few days amazing since I feel like I just went through hell! 


I have learned that it's best to keep moving and keep your mind active. Get up, take a shower first thing (I PROMISE that having a shower right away will make you feel sooo much better) and find little things to do such as cleaning or a project. Don't start getting on Google to figure out what's wrong with you or what might happen to you. Google is NOT a good thing for someone who tends to worry. I had to learn not to use it every time something very small happened. On days like this it's best to have someone you can call to talk to and take your mind off of things. 


The people I rely on the most:


1.) My husband - he is the single most important person in my life. (besides my son :) ) He knows every little thing about me and knows just the right thing to say to make me feel better. 


2.) My sister-in-law - She lives in a different state but it feels like she is here all the time. She makes me laugh CONSTANTLY and supports me soooo much in getting better and is one of my biggest blog fans! ;) I love her very much!


3.) My best friend - She spends a lot of her time thinking about me and what she can do to make me more comfortable. She is one of the best people I have ever met. I couldn't think of a more perfect friend. 


4.) My other sister-in-law - Now this is strange because she has no idea I have a blog (that I know of). She isn't an emotional person so we don't really get into things like that. She is well aware of my anxiety and knows a lot about it. The one way that she helps me is by being that way. She is completely worry-free and tells me that she never worries because she knows it won't change anything. She is very inspiring and helps to remind me that I shouldn't worry so much. I love her very much and she is wonderful sister. (and she is also carrying my future nephew that I can't wait to meet)


Like I said in my last blogs is that it is very important to find people that can support you and help you along the way because you don't want to go through it alone. If you don't have anyone to help or just don't know where to start, I will be more than happy to give you all the help and encouragement you need!
