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.
