Feeling lost and lonely :/

I'd say its totally normal to be having feelings of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and general negativity because of the pandemic. Its caused such a great shift in our lives, much of what is impacting us is out of our control, and there is no clear path forward, so the future is very uncertain. If you are able to access mental health counseling (tele-health is probably your only option now), I would certainly consider it. It sounds like your hubby is being supportive and doing the best you can, but he isn't a therapist (and even if he was he wouldn't be your therapist). You are very lucky to have someone who cares so much.

It’s ok to have those feelings with this pandemic nightmare. I have those random days too. I literally worry for my wedding and having to move it and it not being on the day we both cared for and meant a lot to us both. So I get how you feel. As long you lean on people for help and support it be all ok. This community is here for you too. If you want to talk just send me a message. ☺️

I feel like having a lot of changes in your life this last year is cause of that, which is TOTALLY normal. So glad you’ve been keeping your husband in the loop, I highly recommend to keep talking things out with him. Maybe even talk more to friends and family about it. The more support you have the more it will help. Plus as you mentioned, with these unsure times right now that’s a whole other stress factor to your current situation. ❤️You're not in this alone!

I think some of that is normal with the circumstances and all that you’ve had going on this past year, but I would recommend making an appt with your doctor. Telemedicine appts are available and maybe just a small dose of something would help you and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m glad your husband is so supportive. Make sure to keep talking to him during this tough time. Good luck!

I think most people are feeling pretty anxious and unstable right now. It’s a pretty scary time in the world. Be kind to yourself and go easy on yourself... it’s ok to not be ok right now! Maybe consider speaking with a therapist? A lot of therapists will do tele-sessions right now. It can be difficult for all your anxiety to fall on your spouse.

You are not alone in this - this is a common reaction to the massive changes to our lives right now.

Many places are offering free mental health support right now - check your city and state websites for information. In addition, if you have insurance, they may be providing tele-therapy.

Please, please, reach out to get help. Panic attacks are awful, but there are ways to minimize and avoid them.

For sure. COVID-19 impacted our wedding and lively hood (loss of jobs etc) so I've definetely been in the dumps & have felt my anxiety sky rocket.


This is silly but check out Pinterest! They have a lot of great mantras, meditations, etc. to help with anxiety. It's okay to not be okay!
Sending lots of love! 💕

You're not alone. I've had panic attacks related to anxiety before and they are scary. But there's hope with counseling and possibly medication. Can you access a teledoc appointment, an EAP, or your general practitioner to get an investigation started into different ways to help you manage your situation?

As for your husband (who sounds lovely) I would read together about coping strategies for how to manage the feelings of a panic attack so you have a shared language to use during one. And once you get into counseling maybe he could come to one of your appointments with you to keep that conversation going.

I'm sorry you're going through this but it will get better, you CAN learn to manage them If you want to talk more privately just message me

It's ok to have these feelings and even more I'm happy that you are acknowledging them. I love that you confide in your husband, but thats what he is your husband and not a therapist . we all relate to things differently. Maybe you should find a therapist who would be able to help you through the panic ,anxiety,confusion and overwhelming feelings. Even during this pandemic especially during this pandemic we need to check our mental health. Please speak up. have a virtual call with a therapist find something that relaxes you. Whether it be bubble baths, looking at wedding albums, playing music but you have to find some silver lining to keep your stress/anxiety levels down.

Wow thank you everyone for the kind words! This helped me sooo much knowing I'm not the only one.
