Another Anxiety Post

Hello Lovelies!

Today I bring to you a post about my anxiety.

Lots of people have anxiety and I never really understood what it was all about until a few years ago.
But last year my Mom and I sat in the doctors office twice trying to figure out what was wrong with me and I was so frustrated because I didn't understand that I would burst into tears each time and the doctor would refer me to a therapist or prescribe me pills.
Finally a different doctor had me do a depression/anxiety quiz and finally said you have generalized anxiety disorder.

My anxiety does not have a trigger most of the time, it just happens.
I can have weeks where I'm really anxious and weeks that I'm carefree and happy.
Lately my social anxiety has been worse.

I went to the mall by myself last week, something that I don't do too often anymore, to try to find a gift. I walked in and my chest tightened, I was feeling warm....I walked into a store, spent less than five minutes in it and walked out. I went into another store and I was so overwhelmed that I practically ran out, went straight to my car and drove home.
I didn't realize it had gotten so bad.

This morning I am quite anxious about going to work and I have a social job, so that's not really the best thing to be feeling on a Monday morning.

When I have anxiety for no reason I tend to calm myself down by watching youtube videos or watching a movie, but I have yet to discover a way to handle social anxiety without having Boyfriend around.

Do you have any tips for handling anxiety?

Have a fantastic Monday and hopefully I'll be posting more this week!

Thanksgiving Weekend

I've decided I need to buy a notebook.
I come up with my best blog ideas at night and come morning I can't remember any of them. Not even after a cup of coffee.

How was your Thanksgiving?
Mine were good, as there were three and a fourth to come next weekend. Needless to say, I'll be sick of turkey.

Fall is in full swing here. I have candles burning, the weather is stormy and my new uniform has been sweaters and pajama pants.
Saturday I worked a half day at work then rushed to the ferry for Thanksgiving #1 at some friend's house.
It's always so gorgeous and cozy on the island.

Sunday was Thanksgiving #2 at my parents house. I made a pumpkin pie (the pie plate was a gift from last Christmas...but I do know it's from Pottery Barn).

Monday was Thanksgiving #3 at boyfriend's house and I made another pumpkin pie.
It was a busy weekend and I was thankful to have Tuesday off to relax a bit, even if I was up at 4am.

I've been posting quite a few videos on my youtube channel if you feel like checking that out.
I'm still shy about it, so I recommend turning up the volume if you decide to watch.

Have a lovely rest of your week!
Happy Wednesday!

Getting Lost

Hello Lovelies!
I hope your October is off to a wonderful start!  The weather here in B.C. has been absolutely amazing lately, therefore we had to take advantage of it of course.

This past weekend, while I did have to work, was one for the books.
Boyfriend and I headed out to a local farm and tackled the corn maze, while I can't say we were successful at finding all the check points as after an hour the heat was too much, we had a blast.
We even came home with a giant pumpkin from the pumpkin patch!

What Fall things have you gotten up to?
Enjoy your week!
