MSH466....Thank you for saying that. Yes we were married for a long time. When he got cancer and then pneumonia with Covid that's when all this anxiety started with me and now a little depression. I'm just trying to talk over things with a therapist and staying away from the prescription medications at this time. Being around your loved ones help but this feeling of the anxiety really has me down. It is just a really uneasy feeling that's hard for people to understand. It's so good your wife is supportive....I know this can be very helpful. I know we all try and turn those negative feelings into positive ones but it's hard sometimes when you feel so lousy. What are your symptoms of anxiety? Do you have Generalized Anxiety Disorder? Mine comes in waves and it's very uncomfortable and strange feelings but it's the morning anxiety that is what I am struggling with. 🙁

My anxiety has been an ongoing struggle for many of my adult years. From a divorce dealing with custody to alcoholism to a precancerous illness. Depression and anxiety seem to go hand in hand in my life. Yes having a partner that is supportive and understands is a life line. Lifts me up to show that I am imperfect with many faults and flaws. But love does endure. My anxiety is sleeplessness. Unable to focus. Moodiness and unable to relax. Fidgety. Worry till my stomach is in knots. What do I do about it? Know for now I am doing ok. My pre cancer is stable. I get blood drawn every 6 months so constantly being monitored. I’m able to workout or jog or be active. I know this is not a fit all approach for many older people who are unable to do this. Writing this helps with my feelings. In words I can bring out raw emotions that would otherwise fester inside. It’s a nice release.
