Hi all,
Hope you are all doing well!
Today, I have been pretty nervous, but I just had a "trigger" or atleast what I think is a trigger to put me into an anxiety attack. I just spoke with a friend of mine, and she was invited to have dinner with two other girls and their kids from school. I was not invited. I know, to most people, that is a big "SO WHAT?", but it made my stomach drop and made me feel totally left out. I immediatly go into negative thinking, and that maybe they don't want to be around me. I know I am a good person, but I hate feeling this way. Boom, something like this happens, and I am feeling so down. I know it's my nerosies taking over, but I can't help feeling like the girls didn't want me or my son around. Who knows, maybe it was improptu, but why didn't anyone think of me? I am ALWAYS thinking of others and not enough of myself. I guess I just feel sad, and I needed to vent. Thank you for reading. I appreciate the time.

when those things happen--- best to let it go and
try not to make a big deal out of it!! I know it is hard
to do this but you are right who knows maybe they all
were together anyway and planned this??? I have felt this
way like you often and get upset and then say well do something
fun for yourself!!! IT WORKS!!! Take care, Judy
thank you. I went and took a yoga class tonight, actually! I feel a little better, but It's still on my mind. I wish I could just wipe it away, and not ruminate about these silly things. Somehow, my brain and body feels like it is silly, but my "reality" knows it is not something to get upset over. Oye, I'm a mess. Thanks for the advice. It's nice to know there are people who experience things like I do.
Best wishes, Jolie
