! So I realized that I stayed up way too late each night on my vacation and even though I did well that week, I also dragged a little and then when going back to work it hit me like a ton of bricks I guess. So back to bed a little earlier, wake up at 5 am everyday, study StressCenter.com, read my bible/pray, relaxation tape when needed, and a little walk in the morning if I can fit it in. It seemed like it went back to rough mornings again like it used to be.....BUT I didn't say "here we go again", or "it's baaack"....NOPE! I simply said to myself...hmm Now I know how to deal with this, I did make such significant progress, so I'll continue to build on where I left off and USE ALL OF THESE LITTLE COME BACKS OF ANXIETY AND SUCH TO MAKE ME STRONGER NOT WEAKER! I need "wind down time" in the morning just like at night that's all. Building blocks not stumbling blocks! I changed the starter on my F-350, it went again on me in a few days. I said to myself...can I learn something here or should I complain and say this stinks and it's not fair!? NOPE, 1 thing at a time, my woodshed is done, other stuff got done, now back to the truck. I am re-learning PATIENCE, I returned the new starter for another new one and put that one in, yeah baby it works! It may not be often but sometimes a new starter is a dud, and so I am learning the PATIENCE game all over again, 1 project at a time! PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE, ISN’T IT? I never really could understand people saying “it will get better”, or you can do it”, and all the other cheerleading hooplah. Well guess what………I’m saying it now and so many just don’t get it, they can’t see it. YOU WILL AND YOU WILL ALSO PASS IT ON. Good day!Those weren't the days...these are PART 2

I had a few bad mornings (not all day real bad) after my vacation time was up. When I got back to work It was real bad anxiety feelings in my head! I wanted to just go home from work (sick) like I used to feel, not that I always went home when I felt that way. But I remembered to persevere and make it through and the "storm" would soon pass...and it did. So what, I had a bad morning, I proved that it was only the morning and not the whole day. So what another bad morning right after the last one, it doesn't have to be 3 then 4 or 5, I can do this....I've learned that much !

Great post. I've been feeling the same way. I've been having bad mornings at work, this is my 5th week but guess what every week I make it through. Yes sometimes I don't feel good and yes sometimes I wonder "is this ever going to end" but your right you just need patience. Our anxiety is going to take work and it's not going to happen overnight, we wish :p, but if I remember to keep at it and have patience it will work out. Thanks
