Hello Everyone,

Just venting--Right now, it really feels like I have a lot on my plate. I'm extremely emotional and anxious about literally everything. My upcoming graduation, worries about possible pre-op hiccups regarding insurance, work stress, issues with my brother's health....life in general. Normally, I would go eat everything in site, but I know that won't help me and I know that it could set me back & I REFUSE. I'm typically happy, but today I just feel drained & sad. Like as I sit at my desk (currently at work, on lunch) I'm picking at my nailpolish because I'm anxious and my mind is constantly running. I stopped smoking weed per doctors orders, so that's out of the question. Maybe I should try CBD again, I don't take anxiety pills due to the groggy feelings I've gotten with each med I've tried. Anyway, thank you for reading my rant. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better.

❤️Dani

Lmaoo me too! And yes girl remember who you are! Know that there are always going to be things going on, maybe even more next time but if you stay focused you will get through it.

My bf gets really bad anxiety and what he usually does is go for walks or plays a video game as a distraction. Maybe find something you like doing? Or treat yourself by getting pampered! Don't do your nails, go to the salon. Get a massage, do your hair, buy a something you've been wanting, etc. Self care is self love.

Sometimes you cant control what goes on but i think it helps taking a step back from it all to clear the mind before dealing with the chaos.

Good luck with everything and know you will always find people supporting you! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! Lately, I’ve been doing makeup & practicing new looks when I’m anxious or bored & ready to eat everything. I think I need a little something at work to help me chill out, maybe something to fidget with or something? I’ll figure something out! Thank you so much for your words! They really do mean a lot!!!

We Virgos can be a complete basket case, because we internalize everything. Listen to AJ count your blessing and focus on all that is good in your life, don't write a negative narrative about your own story. Meditation is great for anxiety, try this:

there are many others as well.

Hi everyone!

I’m feeling SO much better now. I just needed a few days I guess to chill out & free my mind. Today I have an MRI to check out this cyst that was found wedged between my pancreas & kidney to make sure nothing crazy is happening.. from here, I’ll be able to schedule my EGD. Thennnn the 29th I’ll be picking up the machine for my at home sleep study. Hopefully time will continue to fly! Thank you all for your encouragement, It truly means the world to me!!!

Thank you for this! I started doing the breathing that was mentioned before and it really does help me get a grip on my anxiety at times. Meditation is something I’ve started too, I just have to learn to quiet my mind down a little better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
