Stress and Anxiety August 29, 2007

Posted by spacemom in : Depression , trackback

The downward spiral began a few days ago. But now it has gotten close to the bottom. 

It starts small, a stress over an imperfection. Then it starts to gain speed until it becomes a giant snowball. We leave for a wedding in a few hours. I am currently a ball of stress and anxiety. Once we get on the plane, I know I will crash. This is just how it is right now.

Last night, I was down in the pit of despair. I could not move, I was paralyzed with depression. I will hit that again tonight.

I’ve had more good days than bad lately. So why is this hitting me so damn hard?

I’m sorry, Spacemom! I hope that you can find some way to get out of the downward spiral.

I’m blaming the full moon. Or something. Because I am right there in that pit of despair with you. And it’s really not a great place to hang out…we should go somewhere with better lighting and way better music.

I’m thinking of you and wondering if there’s anything I can do?

Having seen someone close to me go through something a while back that paralyzed them into an inability to think, to move, to breath, I can only imagine.

Best wishes from a New England Bud.
