Since finding out I am pregnant I have not been doing so well. At first I was doing great. Then a few days later I was sick and in the bed for over a week with the flu and it has been down hill from there.
I feel like I have just been worrying and fretting and feeling depressed and out of control. So I need to try to be more pro active about this. I feel myself slipping and my anxiety getting worse.
So I am trying really hard to keep eating right and now I am trying to get in some light exercise and get things done around the house instead of just trying to distract my brain on the computer or sitting in front of the tv. I am really bad about that because it is easier for me to just sit and distract my brain but it is not good for my body. I also need to get out of the house more as I have only been leaving the house to go far distances once a week if that.
So my goals for today are….
Shower lol
Do some laundry and dishes
Get a little exercise
Go out of the house for atleast an hour
Journal
Work on my workbook
Read a little bit of a book my Dr wants me to read
ok so hold me accountable please. My will to get up and do these things is not very strong because I get wierd heart palpitations when I get to moving around and I start shaking. My heart way over reacts to the amount of activity I am doing and I have no clue why. If anyone knows PLEASE let me know.
I just want to tell you that I am excited to hear the news that you're expecting! Three of my close friends just recently found out their expecting, and I get so excited and joyed about that type of news! I don't have kids although I want to so bad, but.. my loving boyfriend doesn't want a family right now.
I wanted to say that I make a list exactly like yours everyday! I get so wrapped up in anxiety that it's so hard to leave the house… it's not that I don't want to leave, it's just the thought of it. I haven't drove my car in a week and a half, but another reason is because I had oral surgery done to remove my two upper wisdom teeth. Ugh, that hurts. But you know what's weird? I kind of enjoy having Real pain than my mind thinking that I "might" have pain, or "what if" or any type of those thoughts for that matter.
Honestly, I think that you're just a little stressed and overwhelmed. I am not a doctor or anything but from my experience, I had something like that happen to me before. If I walked even from my bedroom to the kitchen (which isn't really that far) my heart would beat funny, almost as though as if it were skipping beats, or beating hard and then soft. You're just stressed, and I think it's great that you wrote down a little "to do" list because it gives you small goals to try to achieve through out the day. Even if you just step outside if you can and walk about 20 min. You'll feel a lot better. That's what I have been doing. I just walk around our house out here and then I realize after 5 min, it feels pretty good.
I wish you the best and if you need to talk, I am totally here
Thanks so much guys!! I did get it all done off the list except work in the workbook because other unplanned things came up and took up some of my time lol. I haven't even had time to make another blog or list I have been busy and today is no different' My daughter has library story time today and they read three books and then a craft so we are there for an hour. It makes me get out of the house and all of that stuff so it's good. My daughter loves it too. lol
