Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well :hugs:
I've been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for about 18 months now, I haven't had a panic attack in at least 6 months, but the anxiety is there every day in one way or another.
I recently had a job interview and a subsequent 2nd interview and the job went to an internal candidate in the end. The whole time between 1st interview and finding out I hadn't got the job, my anxiety was non existent, I was so happy at the thought of getting out of my current job (where I am on my final written warning for absense due to my anxiety / panic attacks) - But as soon as I found out I didn't get it, the anxiety came rushing back. At least i know now what I need to do I suppose which is get a new flipping job, easier said than done though.
Secondly, since the New Year I've become super health lady, I know I'm overweight and I wanted to turn my heath around to help with the anxiety and my own well being - I'm doing really well, eating super well and going swimming / gym around 4 times per week. Well the subsequent aches and pains I get after the exercise are driving me crazy!!
For example, I was swimming for 1 1/2 hours last night and today my shoulders and arms ache, I have a dull ache underneath my right armpit and my anxiety is just going crazy over it, I KNOW it's because I exercised last night but honestly try telling my stupid brain that.
I know I'm moaning, it could be a lot worse I suppose, but honestly it just feels never ending, it's like it's exhausting just living your normal life, you can try your best but it never seems to leave you alone. I had a really bad nights sleep last night and I guess that hasn't helped my mood today.
Sorry for the rambly post, I just felt like I needed to vent and you guys are really the only ones I know will understand and not judge me. So thanks for just being there :bighug1:
