Anxiety Flare

Via Pinterest

My anxiety disorder has decided to put up a

 bit of a stink the last few weeks. I've been ignoring 

it and letting it kind of creep around for 

quite some time but it finally made it known that 

I can no longer avoid it. It is exhausting knowing that this 

will be a lifelong struggle for me, like many others. 

You do the things you need to do, 

feel better, slack a little, and then feel back to square

 one. I should have recognized some of the signs

 and symptoms sooner... well actually I 

did recognize them but chose to ignore

 and do nothing about it. I'm not sure why I do this to 

myself. I haven't been leaving the house again. Not to

 walk the dogs. Definitely not to get groceries.

 We've been having take out and that only

 leads to further isolation and disappointment with myself. 

I know what I need to do. Luckily I have an

 appointment with my head doctor in 10ish days.

 In the meantime I need to bust out my workbook 

and put some effort into calming this beast. 

For anybody who also suffers from mood disorder 

I HIGHLY recommend ordering this workbook. 

It is one that my Doctor has started using as her 

template for all her patients.
