Anxiety or intuition?
I am having a hard time recognizing my anxiety as just fear or is it my intuition trying to direct me? Fear has held me back for good reasons, I believe. What do I do now? I don't have this internal guidance directing my behavior. Now I am just fighting through the anxiety and maybe making bad decisions! Anybody else think this way or am I overanalyzing?

bsg,
I think you bring up a good point! I too, have struggled with that very question.
example: One of my struggles is, trusting my husband..sad, but true. I feel that for the most part of my anxiety about his fidelity, is that I was cheated on by my Ex husband, which in turn leaves me feeling vulnerable with my NOW husband, BUT, when I'm going through and anxious thought (omg, what if he's cheating on me, or what if he HAS cheated on me), I than think, "what if this is intuition, and not just jealously, or insecurity"
See, it's vicious circle I put myself in.
I think this is a control issue, on my part. There is no way of knowing, unless he was caught red-handed..So.....what I've learned to do is say, "I have NO control over him, all I can do is trust God who I have chosen to serve, and pray over my marriage"..
I don't know what your "fears" are, but I thought this was a good example of "anxiety or intuition"...I guess what I'm saying is Yes I too, get those thoughts..It drives me nuts :p..
I'm curious what others might say, in answer to this..

bsg & Mom of 6,
We are all sensitive people who try to figure out our problems, but sometimes we get caught in a negative spiral. I think as we go through the program we will learn to trust ourselves more, but right now we're learning about ourselves and how we think, so maybe we're impatient in our quest to feel better.
