JD,
I felt this way on Saturday and I was invited to go out with a friend and declined because I couldn't force myself to get out of bed. Unfortunately when there are things that you need to do, such as go to work, it makes it even harder. Try to find something little in everyday to help brighten your mood. For example, although you are having a hard time at work, be thankful that you have job with the ecomony being as bad as it is. Also try meditating at night. I usually put on soothing music or nature sounds and concentrate on deep breathing and when I breath out, I breath out heavy and imagine I am pushing out all of my negative thoughts and anxiousness.
Moving is a very stressful time and when I recently have thought of moving and my anxiety level skyrockets each time I think about it. If unpacking is overwhelming, try to do a little each day that way you aren't overwhelmed too much. Try unpacking one room at a time.
 
I hope this helps and keep us posted on how you are making out. I hope to hear that your anxiety slowly begins to fade away and you can get back to yourself again.

Hey everyone,
 
Its now been about 10 days of moderate to severe anxiety.  I'm trying to stay positive but its so hard.  I moved out in the beginning of January and was anxious for about a week, and then had two good weeks and went away to Mexico for a week.  A day after I got back, my anxiety shot up big time.  I wonder if its because I moved out?  Since then my sleep has been up and down, ive felt more down than usual, and very apathetic (like why bother trying anymore).  I'm not doing a good job at work and I'm afraid people will begin to notice.  I honestly don't know how I get out of the bed in the morning.  I feel frozen with panic at times... like I don't know what to say or do.  Its hard not to imagine the worst.  I have valentines day dinner tomorrow night and I just feel like I'll be out of it, anxious and feeling apathetic.
 
Anyone feel this way.... what do you do?
JD
