So sorry. Lurker usually, just wanted to I hope it gets better soon.

Thinking good thoughts for you.

I hope you have a better time of it soon. I have my own struggle looming and when I start to feel the fingers of dread tickling my neck I just remind myself how lucky I am in so many other ways. hugs. S

I'm sorry for the soggy french toast. I hope it gets less overwhelming soon.

Hang in there Y. Things will get better.

I hope things are better for you soon.

During difficult times, I try to savor the small, peaceful moments so I can get through the rough stuff.

Oh, Y. I'm sorry your'e having a hard time. I wish I could help in some more profound way, but I am holding you and yours in my heart. I think you're pretty great.

I remember realizing that I was officially Losing It when I got depressed over my broken ice maker.

Sorry, Y. Hang in there.

{{hugs}} Y. Hang in there. Thinking of you. Hoping & praying the pressure eases soon.

I am right there with you. Deep breath...let it out...go punch the wall ;) I hope it all gets better for both of us soon.

((hug))

Hang in there.

'Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting to catch my breath.'

That is how my anxiety makes me feel. I hate it.

I'm sorry that things are overwhelming, I know how that feels. Like you said you just have to keep moving forward and pray that it continues to improve.

I love you Y! If you ever need to vent, I'm here. Anxiety is my everpresent heckler. I work hard to kick its ass. Sometimes, just letting it all out to a friend can help. Or laughing. Or screaming. Whatever. I'm here.

Take care, sweet girl.

I believe in you! I hope things get better for you, and that you have someone(s) that you can talk to about it all and have lots of personal immediate support!

I understand. Been there a lot lately. (((hugs)))

I love you. I feel that's where I am too. I believe in you and know that I'm here. xoxo

Sometimes just getting through the day is victory enough. As a wise person once said, this too shall pass (hopefully). And here's hoping you can continue to find the beautiful in a perfect summer morning.

I hope things lighten up soon.

My french toast makes EVERYONE cry.

Happy thoughts, dear.

Eventually (hopefully soon) it WILL be that day where breathing comes naturally.

Ugh, The Anxiety. Just when you think you're coping fine, it sneaks up and bites you on the butt. Whenever this happens to me, I have to remind myself to take it one day at a time. That for the unforeseeable future, you will feel panicked, often times not knowing why, and it sucks. But that eventually, you will come out of it. And you’ll look back and think, “I did it again.” And you’ll be proud. :)

Not saying it’s easy, but it’s the only way I can get through it. Thinking good thoughts for you.

I hear you.

There's a great article in this month's issue of Good Housekeeping. It has a picture of a box of chocolates on the first page - can't remember what it's entitled - but it's about dealing with stress and worry. (Something I have battled my whole life.)

One part that talked about worrying caught my attention. It said something like, "...I realized that I was stepping out of my life that was beautiful, healthy and whole, and entering a nightmare of my own making." I kinda went WOW. That's what I do every time I worry.

I'm not saying YOU'RE doing that, just saying it's a great article if you are (or anyone here is) suffering from anxiety. Might want to check it out.

Hugs to you.

talk w/ doc about beta blockers, if you need them? my thyroid medicine makes my heart race i hate it.

double xo

I can relate to this in so many ways. Instead of crying, I worry incessantly, and knots form between my shoulder blades and I am unable to move.

Breathe. That is what I have been forgetting.

Hugs and love to you sister. Sad I won't see you for cheeseburgers in Chicago.

Hugs. I hope things get better for you soon. More hugs.

Just wanted to send you a little love and let you know I'm thinking about you. *hugs*

Though we don't know each other, I can relate to this kind of morning - life - and appreciate the experience in someone else's words.

(hug)
