I know many have experienced this.
I was feeling nearly my normal self just a few days ago and then a stressful day at work midweek sent me into a state of panic and worry a whole day and then it led to an unexpected anxiety attack (maybe out of relief) driving home from work friday.
Since friday, I have felt anxious at times to very anxious, but kind of normal when I exercised earlier today. I just need a solid middle ground and no more of these sways back and forth. I also have realized that I have carpal tunnel in my left wrist so I stopped exercising for nearly 3 days to rest it.
The bad feelings this week started Tuesday when I suddenly felt a sense of dread and wondered what bad feelings would soon follow. I started to wonder what would cause me to feel bad again. I really hate when I do that to myself.
Then bad news on wednesday when a client of the company I work for had sent a letter about me and my co worker that we performed less than satisfactory on Saturday on the property he is proxy for. I was then told that this nutty client has blasted just about anyone from our company who has ever had dealings with him, so that made me feel a bit better, but I have never had a customer personally write a letter to someone in management about me negatively, so this left me unsettled all day. I had 3 conversations with co workers throughout the day and they all said this was normal from this certain client and they wondered why I was still obsessing over it. This helped a lot and I have not muttered another word about it to anyone at work. But needless to say, the stress from this obviously played a part in my anxious days and I am still recovering.
I have felt a bit panicky and also kind of depressed. I have moments of unreality and then sudden moments of feeling really good. see what I mean about wanting a middle ground of calm?
But my wife and I had a nice day today in total.
OK, that is my story for now. Please share any helpful experiences :-)
