The need to be blanketed vs the need to feed.

[Webs]

As you know I suffer from chronic pain, depression and anxiety. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I love it because it's like a long weekend. Not much happens on Friday and Monday both of my bosses travel.

But today I woke with total body pain and this overwhelming feeling of anxiety. It was deep. I did some work this morning and fed myself a small breakfast. It didn't reallys satisfy and then gave me a stomach ache. I started feeling like the walls were coming in.

And then I thought, if I don't get out of this house I'm going to start crying.

I took a cbd gummy. Pulled on some pants and shoes. And out I went. And I walked slow because I'm still in a lot of pain and it's dreary out. And I just walked for while. It didn't solve all my issues but I feel lighter. It could be the cbd. I could be the fresh air. I could just be the movement.

I still feel some anxiety. I don't know why. I just do.

But I did it. I got out. And that makes all the difference.

So glad that helped, Webs.

Good for you, webs. Hope you are feeling better.

Hope you're feeling better now, Webs. Nothing like getting out to help clear the cobwebs. Gentle hugs

Coming back in to say. I might be a bit overly sensitive about this at the moment, but if the stomach pains and weird feeling of anxiety continue, please have it checked out. Not wanting to scare you, but these 2 symptoms are typical that women experience prior to a heart attack.

Hoping it is a better day today

Oh I hadn't thought of that, river - thank you.

Hope all is well this morning, Webs.

Thank you. It wasn't stomach pain. It's chronic pain from the RA. Pain is in my joints.

I'm glad you were able to get outside, and also glad it's not a heart attack!

Hope that today is better for you.

Thank you all. Some days I don't try and fight the good fight. Friday I did.

Yesterday I had a terrible day at pottery. I don't like anything I've done lately. I might change my mind on what I did last week. I might put it in for recycling.
