Passing thoughts and uncomfortable today

The day started out fine.  I woke up, took my dog for a walk and went to a diner and had breakfast.  (Outdoor seating only here in LA due to covid).  But as the day wore on, I just felt like the walls in my apartment were going to cave in on me.  I took my dog on many walks and even played with him in the park by my apartment.  But I just don’t feel comfortable today.  I’m not sure why.  I don’t want to smoke, just am feeling some angst.  I just feel like I don’t fit in anywhere.  I know there are people who love and care about me, including people on this website.  But i can’t take this isolation any more.  Thank God the holidays are coming up so that I can surround myself with family and friends.  And I am grateful for what I do have—a job, housing, my dog, my health, my smobriety, and supportive family and friends.  But this coronavirus situation is flaring up my anxiety, depression and general discomfort.  I hope this passes.  Anyway thank you to everyone here who has been encouraging me and helping me along this journey.  164 DOF and still going strong.  Love to you all.

I have smoked on and off (mostly on) for the last twenty years...quit in 2010 and was successful for 3 1/2 years. Then my husband died in January 2014, so I caved and started up again...now, over 7 years later, I want to be done for good!!!! This quit is IT.
