Does anyone else get this thing when you're lying in bed at night - you're about to drop off into a nice sleep, when suddenly your brain decides to wake you up with a jolt of anxiety? I'm having this most nights lately, happened about four times last night. What's that about? 😫

[Rocket Spud]

^ I get that occasionally. And the racing heart thing. I put it down to anxiety with mysef because it doesn't happen when i'm feeling okay.

[The Devil, Probably.]

Do you mean a hypnic jerk, or something like that. I've heard theories that it's a leftover from not wanting to fall out of trees etc.

[Nanuq]

tired and grubby

Sorry to hear you're suffering Tubbs

[anxiouslondoner]

130% meh

[Clumsy*]

Like butter that's been spread very thin.


Except I'm not fiddling with a ring in my pocket.

[magnolia]

Like a loser.
At work we were sitting about waiting for some work to come in, people were chatting to each other etc... except me. I was just stood there like a lemon not saying anything.
I was just watching and listening to people thinking why can't I be like that? Why can't I speak in a group?
I think most people take it for granted to be able to do it.
It feels so debilitating.

Just abit peeved off with the way our country is going honestly don't recognise it any longer were a laughing stock!

Anxious Anxious Anxious and a bit more anxious

[anxiouslondoner]

Feel like becoming a hermit, but I'm halfway there already.

[Alone.]

Anxious
I think about giving my resignation, about social anxiety, whether or not things will improve.

[Professor Willow]

I've finally got rid of covid so I should be happy, but no, I'm shitting bricks about going back to work.

[Consolida]

I feel utterly hopeless.

Take it slowly. Are you able to go back not for a full day at first or are you supposed to be straight back to normal?

I'm planning to only go for a couple of days this week which will probably be unpopular.
I have been struggling for months with anxiety at work, the only good thing about catching covid was not being able to go to work.
Unfortunately I've now had nearly 2 weeks to work myself into a state about going back.

[Dougella]

^ That sounds like a good idea. It's not that unusual for people to still be feeling extra tired etc after they've had covid so you can use that reason if you need to. Sorry you've been feeling so much anxiety.

[anxiouslondoner]

Like utter utter crap. I'm not going to say why because I don't want everyone going on about it.

[Rocket Spud]

Headache, tiredness, bit of a stiff neck, vague. Not a hangover because i didn't drink much. Most probably a bug. Great timing! Feel shit Saturday/Sunday, back to work Monday

[dave11829]

Feeling a bit under the weather today, my bloody knees are aching and stopped me from going out for a cycle along the coast road, other than that can't complain.

@ anxiouslondoner - I hope whatever is making you feel utterly crap can be resolved and you feel much better soon



I had a very productive day so I'm feeling pleasantly tired and achey tonight. I took some stuff to the tip and managed to tidy up my mum's garden so the house still looks a bit lived in. I think keeping myself busy could possibly be the key to feeling just a little less miserable and fatigued.

[Chess&Junkfood]

I'm happy to hear that you've had a productive day, Consolida!

[Consolida]

^ Thank you
