worry

My heart pitters and pats-I'm afraid there will be an earthquake. My heart pulsates-I'm afraid I have a disease. My heart races-I'm afraid he is going to die. My heart escapes its nest-I'm afraid I will crash.

Anxiety is exhausting and it still tinges my edges like a cheap flame along a piece of paper. I'm dizzy, I'm coming down from drugs, I'm Catherine.

I swear I'm feeling the earth shake, I swear I am so dizzy I'm going to faint. Today is a scared day.

  2. Oh, Sweetie, I've been out all day and didn't know you were having a scared day. I've had many of those and they are not fun! I always know I'm blowing everything out of proportion, but the scared mind sort of takes over, doesn't it?! Maybe just lay down while you are feeling so dizzy. Or take a soothing bath. Warmth often helps with anxiety in general. Have some good tea. Breathe deeply. Take it moment by moment...

    Much love, Silke

  5. I'm not good at this, I'm new, I'm learning, I read your blog and relate. It hurts but yet it helps. One day at a time is all any of us can do. Just knowing we are not alone helps me more than words can say. I hope tomorrow brings you some light, some peace.
