Re: New Job, now i need new ideas

Hi rj -- It's been a few days since you post, and I hope things are going better for you at work. I think it is totally normal to feel inadequate and stressed when you are learning something new. You need to allow yourself to feel that way until you get accustomed to the new job. It's absolutely nor...

Re: Just need a little positive encouragement

I can relate to what everyone is saying in these posts. Life events and stressors can really be a challenge when dealing with anxiety. I think we are just wired in a way to react to things more quickly than others. I know my adrenaline switch can be flipped REALLY quick! I was doing really well with...

Re: My realization

Hi everyone! Thanks for reading our posts and taking the time to share your stories! I'm so sorry Foreveryoung for the loss of your mother. I know exactly how you feel, and after almost 2 years I am still not healing from her loss. It's so hard at Christmas time especially! I'm glad that you all can...

Re: My realization

Wow! See how much you are doing? Asking that friend of yours to go out after work is awesome. I'm sure she appreciates someone caring about her, and that should make you feel great. I think doing things for others and looking outside of our own problems can really be good medicine. I will be glad wh...

Re: Using my kids

We really do think a lot alike because I did write my brother a letter saying pretty much what you suggested. I really poured my heart out and told him exactly why mom did what she did and that it wasn't that she didn't love him. He never responded to it. He doesn't respond to any communication I tr...

Re: My realization

I replied to the other post before I read this one. Don't worry about not going to the dinner! Like you said, there are many other opportunities, and you did that when you went to the store to shop for yourself. Stores are extremely hard for me too, but the times I have pushed myself to do it were a...

Re: Using my kids

Thanks for really taking the time to read and respond so well to what I posted! I'm really impressed by how you really "get" the positive self talk and how it can transform your day! When we classify ourselves as "victims" of the anxiety it leaves us helpless to it I think. For a while I was making ...

Re: Using my kids

I will try to check in every day I can to see how you are doing, and we'll try to support each other through the tough times. I can honestly say that we think a lot alike. I'm sure I am older (I'm 47), and I have 2 grown children along with an 12 year old daughter who keeps me motivated. I'm at such...

Re: My realization

You got it!!! We need to get pissed more often. It truly works and it empowers us. If a speeding bus were heading for our kids no doubt we would jump in and save them. Well ... at times anxiety is that speeding bus! We have to feel the fear and do it anyway. Our kids are depending on us. The good ne...
