Sleeplessness to deal with anxiety

So if you know me you know that I can't take any meds now for anxiety. For those of you who don't (everyone but one person) the reason is because I am breastfeeding. Anyways, my anxiety is so high now. Not even getting along with P and this doesn't happen often. We fight every night it seems. Am I turning into one of those people who is focussed on material possessions? I hope not. Is it ok to want nice stuff? I think everyone should be satisfied with their possessions. In many ways I'm like L - she literally would get rid of something if she got something new. I wonder if she still does this. In this way you never collect too much junk. I would never want to live in a large house b/c then I would be tempted to collect way too many unnecessary things. Of course, money can buy much more than material possessions - travel comes to mind, but that's another topic...

Ok so the title of the post. I can't take meds and have been having a little trouble eating/sleeping (couldn't get to bed till 3AM yesterday and didn't finish my dinner tonight) so now it's half past midnight and I'm super tired. Actually getting a bit of work done (very slowly) and the anxiety is lifting just a bit - probably because I'm so freakin tired, right?

When will Auntie L be visiting the states? Her niece wants to see her!

BTW, who thinks blogging can help with anxiety? I'm giving it a try. Was going to try yoga but that costs money. I used to think it was worth the money but now that I'm in my hyped up freaking out unable to control the neurons in my brain mood, I'm not so sure. I should go back to the sport I used to do but I'm not sure if I'm ready and I probably need new running shoes anyways.

I really think you should look into yoga again. I've been doing yoga for a bit now and while I am not sure if I am drastically different I think it definitely helps.

Auntie L wants to be there too. Hopefully that will come about in the very near future.

I am worried about you. Please take care. I know I keep saying this all the time but the instant I am able to make internationla calls, you are the first person I am calling.

Kisses to K !
