Today is Mothers day and it is a good day so far. I do have to visit with my Mother which allows causes me anxiety but it needs to be done.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Sunflower Painter,
 
How are you feeling today?

I suppose writing on here is helping. I try to share things with my husband but I am afraid of what he may truly be thinking. I am sure he is sick of my behaviour and I am also afraid that if I lose my job my husband will throw me out. I am sure I am over worrying the situation but maybe not?

I can't find a lot of calm right now, I am still dizzy and panicky.

How can you be a little bit more calm and happy right now?

I took an antihistamine and feel a bit better, I also ate something so I am feeling a bit better. I guess if it is anxiety I get frustrated with myself, if I am sick I am still frustrated with me :)

I just want to be more calm and happy.

Hi Sunflower Painter,
 
This is difficult as dizziness and nausea can be symptoms of anxiety.. How else are you feeling today? When you practice relaxation exercises (check out the auxillary session on Relaxation Techniques) do you feel a bit better?
 
What would it change if it was anxiety? What would it change if you really were ill?

This is probably an odd question but how can you tell if you are truly sick or just having anxiety?

I have lost total connection with myself and so today when I work up feeling sick and dizzy I am not sure if it is because I called in to miss work yesterday or because I am actually sick!

This is so confusing. I am super stressed about my job because of its nature and because I am afraid of losing my job even though I don't like it!

Today I am a jumble of sickness and worry. Help!
