Anxiety

I've been worried before, of course.   I've certainly been nervous.   Hubby has had a couple of panic attacks in the past.   He described those as having a heightened flight or fight response in the body.

But until yesterday, I don't really actually remember feeling a physical manifestation of anxiety.  It felt like a heavy weight in the chest;  a lump;  I needed to pace.   I felt caged.   Hopefully,  it is isolation anxiety, and not signs of something else!

I have no doubt that some of it is weather related, as we have had precious little sunshine and an abundance of rain.   I believe there is a depressed condition that can result from that—-seasonal affective order or something.

I've been devastated,  cried,  crushed,  hurt,  afraid....( for a couple of days)  .....but never really depressed.    That's not a place I want to go. 

When the weather improves,  we'll go to a park and hike.   Nature heals.

I am just blogging for the relief it may  (or may not) provide.

I am sure others feel the same!
