Last Friday I took a day off work to use up some vacation hours (that I would lose otherwise) and that was probably a terrible idea.
I spent the day puttering around the house, doing chores and watching Netflix, alone. The problem with that is I start to ruminate about all the issues in my life that are always there but get pushed out of my mind when I'm at work.
I worked myself up into a huge lather and by last evening, I was feeling really down and could hardly think straight.
I feel like my body is literally inflamed, my face is red and I'm itchy.
I'm trying to take care of myself by eating extra healthfully and I went for a walk during lunch today. Tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny so I'm going to sit in the sun for awhile.
But I didn't sleep at all last night and I still feel truly awful.
My daughter is still her same old happy-go-lucky self. I wish I could be like that!
Any tips for dealing with bouts of anxiety would be appreciated.
