Hello October! Where did Summer go?! 😩 This past few months have been hell for me…this whole pandemic thing has taken it’s toll on me and my health. I had thought with this new normal life that we are living in, that my health would improve especially working from home every day. I thought there would be less stress since I wouldn’t have to wake up so early to get ready for work, rushing around to make sure I have my snacks/lunch together and rushing out the door would be less stress and I would have more energy. Well that didn’t happen for me…I have been dealing with a lot anxiety which is resulting in fatigue, headaches from time to time, nausea, feeling shaking and there are some mornings I would wake up with a bit of shortness of breath then when I get up it goes away. My anxiety has been so bad this year, I have been worrying about COVID19 because I have a compromised immune system. Plus this past summer was too hot, and it’s hard for me to avoid the sun which I need to avoid because they say it causes lupus flare ups🤷🏻♀️ I only went outside between 4 to 7pm and still get exposed to the sun. So of course I get paranoid thinking what if my lupus came back or what if I caught COVID19 especially with the way I’ve been feeling. The struggle is real and this is such a scary time for me and for all of us. I thought I would share this because I am sure there is someone out there may be going through this and struggling with anxiety. I don’t take anything for anxiety…I usually lie down to sleep it off or do something around the house which helps the anxiety to go away. Everyone deals with anxiety differently and what works for them.
I’ve been a bit behind with blogging summer stuff that I wanted to share since I was so busy with the Nordstrom Anniversary sales and took a break from blogging. These black tank dresses can transition into fall when paired with a leather jacket or a cardigan. This type of dress is so easy to find and you can get it anywhere. It’s affordable and very flattering! I’ve linked up these tank dresses from different sites on LIKEtoKNOW.it and some cute animal print masks to spice up your look while living this new normal.
Do you know someone or yourself who struggles with bad anxiety and how do or they you deal with it?

I know several people going through the same thing – in fact I would say a majority of people are. You are so strong, and your words are so appreciated!
