This is the 2nd full day I've been home since being released from having a short stay at a facility. I'm having trouble getting back into the swing of things and questioning everything I do. Today I felt the anxiety creeping in and my mind went straight into panic mode and started thinking of all the things I should do. I've always had trouble just sitting with the feelings. Anyway just wanted to share because it's getting me down and making me question everything.
I get this too I like lawn care and balcony gardening tho and what do what I can to make simple life to make things make sense to me.

Hi @Ree77
Welcome to the forums.
It can definitely take some time to adjust and get back in the swing of things after arriving home, even after a short stay. Be gentle with yourself, and keep reaching out here if it feels helpful, we're here for you.

It's just hitting a little harder today, the physical sensations are there and I'm just struggling to have confidence that I'll get through this.

Welcome @Ree77 ,
I'm sorry to hear it feels so tough right now.
We are sitting with you, if that helps.
What is something you enjoy doing that you can busy yourself with?

I've been trying to sort out the Christmas presents I have to wrap, but my bloody mind is just so focussed on the sensations I'm finding it so hard to sit with.

Do you think a break from it will be helpful and then come back to it later @Ree77 ?

Doing that at the minute, hoping it helps a bit. My usual "reaction" is to constraint into full blown panic mode. But really trying hard to change that reaction.

I had an appointment with my psychologist this morning. Was so anxious about going as I haven't been going out of the house much. But with my Muns help I made it there, cried during my session lol and then I drove home. So has been scary still but ok. Thankyou for asking. I hope you're doing well.
