Got bad news, and overnight have anxiety as bad as when I was in junior high.

Hey y’all,

I’ve never really posted before but I feel so alone in my horrible anxiety flare up and I could use some kind words and even advice on how I can get a handle on my anxiousness before I’m able to see someone.

Long story short I got a call yesterday that my dog who’s only 7, has a chronic liver disease that is not curable. He’s very special to me and I never imagined that he most likely won’t get to be an old dog.

I cried so much yesterday and on top of that I always have dealt with really annoying intrusive thoughts so basically in my head I keep imagining life without him before I have to.

As the night went on and I was heading to bed I noticed these horrible feelings in my chest and stomach creeping up on me that I have essentially not experienced since junior high.

I’m not really sure how to get a grip on it rn, I’m honestly really scared to feel this way again.

Anyways, thanks to whoever reads this. I would love to hear some kind words or any advice on helping me keep calm.
