That Old Anxious Feeling

The anxiety is creeping back. Too many issues at hand draining me. Sucking my energy out. My heart has been racing all day, crying on & off all day. Feels like I can't get air in my lungs. I think I am on track and headed in the right direction, then BAM! I realize it won't work. Then one phone call sets my stomach in knots. This whole week has been a nightmare of emotions. Why can't people treat other people with love and respect and kindness? I just don't understand why people can't see what they have in front of their faces and just be grateful for it. Look up at the skies and thank the good Lord for what you have! People give up too easy. Don't want to make the effort. I'm tired, oh so tired. Just want to lay down. I hear Ted now. "Then lay down. Stop worrying about everyone else." He saw things so differently. How do you get things to work when it seems hopeless? Pray. Then pray some more. Then pray even more. It's all I can do right now.
