Having Anxiety Over Something Small

Hello everyone!

My post today is about having anxiety over small things. Now you are probably thinking you know about anxiety and you do. I am having anxiety over something small, a lot of people do and it can be hard to calm down for some. Hope this post can help in some way or make you feel better.

My anxiety was not really bad but my heart rate was up over 100 beats per minute and it's usually 75-82 range of beats per minute. Why I was having the anxiety, I am not sure because there was no need for it in the first place.

The reason for my anxiety was over a schedule. I work in a cafeteria and it's a good job plus I'm on the schools holiday schedule and their breaks too. I like being there and enjoy it.

So I thought at first that I was going to be part time and did tell the team I need minimum full time hours because I have benefits. They did offer 7am to 330pm which would be good but I help my niece in the mornings so it's tough for me to get there.

I did tell them that 8-430pm would work better but I don't know if they will go for that. Hopefully we can come to a compromise and figure it out.

So the reason of this post is why am I having anxiety? I don't know why it bugs me so much and effects me in this way. I did do some deep breathing and it helped a little bit but not much. Yes I try and figure out why or what is causing the anxiety.

Sometimes I can identify the problem and other times I cannot. Today I cannot identify why a schedule change is affecting me. It shouldn't and I just need to learn to budget better too.

Today was laundry day, cleaning and cleaned out the guinea pigs cage too. Now I am still on winter break from my cafeteria job and maybe 5 weeks is too long. I have not really gotten out of the house unless its to go to the bank or store and that is it.

I'm cooped up and need more time outside of the house.  For my next post I think I will work on identifying what gives me anxiety.  I will update in a few days and let you know about my work schedule and how my anxiety is, it sucks that something so small is causing me anxiety when it should not.

If you have any suggestions, please comment.
