Morning was good,but pm not!

Started out today very good!
Got my new sheets,and waled through a flea market..went to eat at staek and shake,and wow,wasnt there 30min,and was feeling very panicky.after a few more minutes,i started crying and just wanted to come home!!!
I didnt even finish my lunch!
I feel so bad this evening too,its cold wet damp,and i did get cold while walking the flea market, and i think it triggerd my body aces,and that triggerd the anxiety..
I have not felt good this afternoon at all....
I didnt fail,,it was a set back....
Hope the sun shines tomarrow...that would help!

Too many issues at once!

First...let me say bless your heart!!
If i were there,i would give you a big HUG!!!!
My sweet husband and i are on fixed incomes,and that is such a strain on us right now with the economy the way it is..
Your not alone!
Were not looseing our house as of yet,but its very hard to hang on..our youngest son age 40,has had to move back in with us,as he lost his job..i lost my part time job last fall..so yes,its tuff out there!
We are checking into refinacing our home,we dont owe all that musch,but if it will lower the payments, we would do that..
Have you considerd that?
Were also going to refinace our car too, anything to lower those payments!!
Good luck!

Another bad night...but

My day was good yesterday,stayed positive,got some house work done,,took a long hot bath,got a rub down,went to bed early as i was tired,and couple hrs later,wide awake with anxiety!!!!
So,i got up,made some hot teat,took a half of an ativan,and wrote in my journal on the net..chatted with some online friends,and finally went back to bed..feel asleep,and slept all night from then on..
I did not let the anxiety get the best of me,i took charge, and made up my mind to treat it,and forget it,and get busy doing somthing more enjoyable..so it worked!
I am sure tired today,but iam ok!!

woke up stiff today

Iam not sure..but iam guessing stress...
My best friend called yesterday,with news her mothers house burned down,that very afternoon,and i went to see it,such a shame,,there in there 80s and left with nothing..
My friend is flying in from dallas tx,and may be spending a few days with me,aswell as her brother and her mom...not for sure on that yet,,but waiting to hear..
Also,were in process of refinacing the house and our car..god i hope it works out for us.as like everyone, were living on a tight budget right now.and so hard to get by...
So,yes i suppose its stress...
I got to learn how to calm myself better..
