My Racing Heart

I wish I could say that my anxiety has gotten better.

But it hasn't.

I thought that my anxiety was more situational, but as it persists, I'm starting to think otherwise.

When I was in university this anxiety was paralyzing. I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't function. I have too many responsibilities to be bedridden.

Today we have the day off to write report cards. I got quite a bit of work done yesterday, but I have a bunch of marking to get to. I couldn't get out of bed until 10am. Every time I woke up my heart was racing, so I just went back to sleep. Not the best coping mechanism, but I didn't know what else to do.

I hate this feeling.

I see my Napro doctor at 2:45pm. I really hope that she has an explanation.

  5. Could be all those hormones? A tendency toward anxiety and years of ttc, it can't be a good combo.
    My mother has heart palpitations as a result of anxiety, she had to eliminate all caffeine and alchol, give that a try.

    For me, running, wearing myself down into pure exhaustion helps, it really does. As well as other cognitive therepist like assigning worrying time(5 minutes of every hour, and only worrying during that time) eventually the amount of time each hour will diminish until one day you will find that you have nothing to worry about durin by our assigned worry times.

    I'm sure you have heard all this before.

    Hope you get some relief soon

  9. Praying!!! I like Nadine's suggestion of "worry time".

    Anxiety has been creeping in more and more lately for me and I can't imagine 5 more years of it all...the pressure and stress post-surgery, it's all. just. so. much.
