I was feeling very anxious today but I am proud of myself because I managed to have a shower, pick my daughter up from school, make dinner for daughter and go to work and stay the whole day. At least I pushed through the day. I just wish this anxiety that is with me throughout the day would go away.

It may not seem a lot @Mn12 but what you have achieved today is pretty big. Give yourself the credit you deserve 
Anxiety is awful so for you to achieve so much is a testament to your strength.

What a massive achievement for doing all that you have accomplished despite how you were feeling. Maybe try some grounding exercises ?

Hi @Mn12
I am glad you are proud of yourself, and have acknowledged your own achievements! It is really hard to take any action sometimes when we are feeling anxious. You did MANY things though. You completed more than I can do on a stress free day. Good on you!
