I think I said it alll in the subject heading. I have a lot of anxiety today. But if I look ahead to the possibilties I might actually have a good day. I have almost constant scalp itch. It went away but is definitely back! I use a solution that is strictly for the scalp. I use it every night before bedtime. It helps to lessen the itching & anxiety it causes a bit. Also, I am suffering from itching on my neck & arms. I am in a world of hurt right now. I found out, as most of you know, that I have some kind of arthritis. They have been treating me pretty well. It is just that I can't really exercise much w/o paying for it later. I have been doing some kind of exercise daily for years. It almost breaks me to know that the pain is almost unbearable at times. I have to change my diet, too, if I am going to keep the weight off. I have been struggling for years w/ the 35 pounds I have lost & gained & lost again in the past 17 years. I know this is an outside issue but it is causing me to lose my serenity! I just want some peace of mind to go on w/ what I need to do. I have moments believe me, that I am actually happy & grateful. I am a devoted member of Alanon. I will keep plugging away even when I don't feel like it. I have to be an example to others or I don't feel like I am accomplishing anything. I am sure that things will get better. I just need to hang in there, be patient & believe. Prayers are needed as you can see. I will put it in God's hands.
Hugs and serenity to you. Illnesses are wearing! I recently found I likely have some auto immune disorder, been sick since May, its hard not to let it get to me. That and doctors!
I love your posts, always working to stay positive, but don't be afraid to feel feelings, they pass and get smaller when we accept them.
Hugs!
