Anxiety...

I am desperately trying to manage my anxiety without further medication. I am taking valium as needed right now...but can only use them at night because they make me really sleepy. Unfortunately, my employers find sleeping employees...irritating at best.

It seems that managing it with exercise or meditation or something along those lines would be best at this point...since I know that it is situational (currently brought on by my dad's illness). His tumor diagnosis...so closely on the heels of mom's death...is proving to be almost more than I can handle.

My anxiety level today is palpable. I feel as though tingles of electricity are jolting my hands and arms occasionally...and although I am NOT having chest pains...my chest is tight and my whole body is tense. I have been fighting tears off and on all morning as well.
