Hello to all,

Anxiety 😥 awakened me this morning and I just couldn’t shake the feeling of ‘what am I going to do’ if I end up suddenly alone…my God, that’s just an awful feeling….my dear wife and I had quite a day all afternoon yesterday at Ft Belvoir Community Hospital and we go back for more visits in May and June..April 24 finds me at my orthopedic appointment, at least that is only right up the street…but I was able to verbally journal my morning anxiety and fix some coffee and move on with the day.. I am grateful for what I have and whenever I can go beyond the unwanted intrusive thoughts that I awake with,, and realize how lucky 🍀 I’ve been in this world we live in, the quicker my dread leaves me…I must find a way to combat this feeling in the morning and even sometimes later in the afternoon or evening….may all who come here have a wonderful evening and a great day, a peaceful day tomorrow 🙏pvctom

Last November, when I was all anxious and angry with my health issues, I started psychotherapy. In the first two sessions, the psychologist recommended writing all my emotions and intrusive thoughts in a diary; your verbally journaling is a good alternative. She also told me to think not just of the negative "why me" that was assailing me, but of the many positive "why me" in my life.
