For me it seems anxiety hits in periods, gets worse before it easies. I worry most about my loved ones or work (not the same but still) and now that my cat is sick I am feeling horrible. I can't quite focus, I feel disoriented and sad. Before I used to deal with my anxiety in a bad way, I had (have?) bulimia. Today I will not go down the same path.
My way of coping is not dealing with the worry. Of course I will take care of my sick cat, take him to vet, pet him more than ever, BUT I try not to think about it. I just avoid it and drown myself to books or sleep. I don't know if it is the healthiest way, but at least I am not throwing up my guts like I used to. I have been trying to open up more to my friends and write out what I'm feeling. Sometimes I just get so wrapped up with my chunk I can't do it. Today, I am trying to face my fears and not get lost.
How do you deal with anxiety? What things tricker anxiety in you?
