Anxiety in the time of COVID 19
I have anxiety about a lot of things. I see a therapist that uses a unique integrative counseling practice that offers support in managing acute and chronic pain, long-term health concerns, and emotional/psychological symptoms that frequently accompany prolonged experiences of illness and pain. Her specialties are in chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. A lot of my anxiety is about my friends, family, future expectations, my body, and how much more MD will affect it, and a lot more. Anxiety affects my eating habits, sleeping habits, how I handle stress, and my physical health.
Do you have anxiety? Do you see a therapist about it? Does it have to do with your muscular dystrophy? I also have high blood pressure and recently diagnosed two years ago diabetes. I have controlled both with medicine, but I am sure the root cause of both is anxiety and the effects it has on my body. I just have to keep working with a therapist, go outside, and do my best to keep moving, and my symptoms ALWAYS improve. Nowadays, with COVID-19, it has been tough to find the motivation to do anything, so my anxiety has increased tenfold. How do you deal with anxiety?
