My parents came by in their car to drop off some food. I had to go out and meet them on the street but I got really anxious because next door were having a garden party.
Have come back in now. Think I am going to stay inside for a while.
Am surprised that I wasn’t paranoid - purely anxious (which for me is worse)
I am usually anxious in this kind of situations if I sleep a lot and don’t leave my house for a period of time.
I notice that when I get up Early and go outside my anxiety is low, I also take xanax for that
I feel anxious sometimes too…!!! Take care u will be okay jimbob…
I find the more I stay inside the more I need to stay inside.
Maybe stand by an open door or window for a little bit each day to kind of get used to the idea of outside and maybe it’ll help the anxiety. That’s what I did and it helped. I still don’t like to go outside, but I’ll leave my patio door open for a bit each day to kind of get used to it. Sometimes I’ll venture out and sit on my patio and drink a cup of tea or something. That way I sort of have a time limit and I’ll stay out there a little longer. Plus the tea is relaxing.
That is good advice @LED. Might sit on my garden decking for a bit.
Of all things I get anxious when my 12-13 years old neighbour’s daughter brings over her friends, as they were quite cheeky and aggresive towards me over the number on my rollie bin, of all things (I got two that had been stolen and the same neighbour’s mother told me to simply pick one and pretend it’s mine, so that’s what I did, the damn thing doesn’t even have a number on it, so they were obviously just trying to pick up a fight and establish territory with another female while I was on an important phone call). The girl herself asked my husband before if he would do something very intimate concerning even more intimate parts of her mother. Yes, that kind of kids.
Bad part is, I have to take a small-ish dose of diazepam and stay inside when I hear those girls coming around or trying to pick on me. 14 years olds, max. Sheesh.
I need a new home, with better neighbours, I guess.
