Day 19 anxiety

Im on day 19 and today feels like I'm at the beginning with anxiety. Will someone please uplift me. I need a laugh or encouragement. Sometimes I feel like I'm my own worst enemy. I know it's not in my head. My pulse is over 100. I'm not sure what to do to make it better. Please help me.

It sure was! That would be a great thread for Helpme to read. That would definitely draw a laugh! Helpme, it is the thread jusmejen started when she was working on day one. Some person made a comment about "secretly detoxing" at work and Pat took it and ran and scored a touchdown. I still chuckle when I think about it. In fact, hubby is looking at me like, "What's so funny! "

I hope you feel better soon, Helpme!

The anxiety part of this is awful but it's just part of the process I guess.
I bought some melatonin today and hoping it works.  It seemed strange to only have to pay 17.00 for 100 pills.
I hope you are feeling better now.  Please let us know.
Minn will make you laugh.

Helpme, I find working in the yard and pulling weeds relaxing too. Most people I know hate it and think I have a screw loose. Come to think of it, maybe I do! ;)

The anxiety will fade my friend it is all part of the process of your mind and body healing . Do you have anything to help calm it from your doctor like Xanax or Klonipin ?  I went threw it and so did most of us . It will get better I promise ! Jimmy

I love Ellen! Also, call me crazy but I enjoy pulling weeds. Enjoy sitting on the bench after I am done admiring how nice the flower beds look.

Addiction is Not a Laughing Matter, but if you can laugh it will certainly help! Laughing increases seratonin and the more of that you can get the better off you will be! Also, getting up, moving around, sweeping (yep, I said sweeping!) will burn off calories and help you as well. It will increase your mood and make you feel better about yourself! Since you have access to the Internet look up some of Ellen's videos. In my opinion she is one of the funniest people around!

Hey, if you want a good laugh, look up my thread called Ironic that I posted yesterday. I believe you'll get a kick out of it :)

Do find a funny movie, show, or comedian to watch.

It will get better and I know how you feel.

Many laughs to you,

Minn :)

I was just flipping thru the movie channels on cable and saw a movie " Forrest Hump"..I have no idea when they added the x-rated channels,,Im gonna have to talk to my husband.

Hang in there,,I had the same thing happen to me at about 19-20days too. Horrible anxiety. The best thing I did was find a movie or show to watch or play a game on facebook to pass the time. It will pass,,I promise. I dont know why this happens. ((hugs))~Bkitty
