Dealing with the outside world

This is exactly how i feel. You cant turn on a tv without hearing about something negative or even talk to people. It might be normal to others to here this negative things and it not bother them. But for someone with anxiety its not what you want to hear. We have enough negative thoughts of our own we dont need more. There is still postive, beautiful things in the world that we need to reflect on to get through this. What we need to remember is if we stop letting these negative things control us we can enjoy the positive things in our lives with open arms.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, NIV).

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is find a radio station that plays music while the rest of the stations do the news. I find that as soon as the news starts, I tense up and feel sick because I know that the first news piece (as well as most of the news pieces) will be negative and gross and sick. They do that because negative news sells these days. I find that on the mornings that I forget to switch stations, I feel edgy and tense and sick to my stomach. It's no wonder people these days are so panicky and anxious.

I want to become someone that can wake up in the morning without that sense of impending doom. I'm working on it and I think I'm getting better everyday, but I still have my mornings.

I also find that in the news, the person talking will start with "predictions are...." then finish off with something negative. It's like newsanchors are fortune tellers as opposed to news people. I don't even want to get into tabloids .....which by the way most news programs are anyway.

Maybe in the morning, pop in a cd or start up an mp3 list of positive fun tunes that you can start your day with. Maybe you can look and see what's on TV the next day and make a list of shows that you like.

My advice....stop listening to the news.

Ooooo...the person who asked about adrecor...don't take it without medical advice. You can buy it since it's sold as a supplement, but don't do it without a doctor's evaluation first. I think it is most imporant to know what causes your particular depression and anxiety because everyone is different. Everyone has a different way of thinking and different body chemistry. What works for me may be horrible and DANGEROUS for you.
Oddly enough because of this program I found that my problem with depression and anxiety is 90% physical because of my medical conditions. After a diagnostic test my doctor found my body produces no cortisol--that's why I get depression and anxiety to a degree. After I take cortisol (adrecor) all my symptoms totally disappear. The depression and tiredness is completely gone. I don't procrastinate and I am very healthy and productive. The anxiety...almost disappears. So I do use the program skills and love them, but I have learned it is so important to know the source--if it's physical or mental or both.
I'm actually scared I may have Addison's disease. One of Addison's symptoms is low coritsol. Have to go back to the doctor...
And Molly, that's just too funny! Do you know why you are taking corisol (Adrecor)?

I try to listen to more positive stories but, to me, it is unrealistic to isolate yourself from the sadness of the world. I just saw a short clip, on CNN, I think of a reporter talking about a man "a 99er" who ran out of job benefits and isn't eligible for social security until 7 years from now. He is saying that suicide is his only option because he can't be homeless in his health that long. I just wanted to help so much and then I feel guilty because I have a job but at the same time that is one of my worse fears-like others, is losing my job and not being able to get another one for a long time or a very low paying one. I have two kids and I am divorced. If I didn't have kids, it wouldn't bother me so much but I worry about them.

I am sorry to spread negativism but I am just reaching out to others and I hope that I can get to a point where I can be helpful to others.

On one of the tapes Lucinda said that we let people or things bother us. I must disagree. I don't "let" things bother me. I try to respond in a more rational way but I feel my mind and moods have become immuned to my own rational responses which of course scares me because I feel I have no control over how I feel.

I feel I have no control over how I feel.

It is the news, and the circumstances all around you that you do not have any control over. Your feelings is what you do have control over, start practicing, changing (renewing) your mind!

When ever you have a negative thought, write it down, then replace it with a positive thought.

"I don't want to get out of bed" to "wow I am awake and this gives me an opportunity to get more done today, with an early start".

"My car has been stolen" to "that gives me the opportunity to ride the bus, and meet interesting people,then I can give them a smile, and perhaps lift their day."

"that calf is bloated again" to "boy I am getting a lot of practice curing bloat with this calf"

It is like home work, and it will pay off, soon you will NOT be thinking negative thoughts.

"That poor man, I hope that never happens to me" TO "that is ridiculous, he should go to the S.S. office, call his Senator, go to his church. I am sure this country would never allow such a tragedy, after all this Nation is going broke spreading the wealth of those of us who pay taxes! Very likely it isn't even true, the News is scraping the barrel looking for something to spread fear in the our lives with, it sells! God help them all"

And get back to your life, "don't worry about tomorrow, there is trouble enough in each day" "My God is my Provider, my Healer, my Defender, and the lifter of my head, I am an over comer! Charge!!!!! "Winners don't wine, Winners overcome,and I am a Winner, Bless God I am OK and I am on my way!"

Hi

Adrecor is a multivitamin approach to try to combat stress and fatigue. There is a large dose of vitamin C, vitamin B6 and vitamin 12, along with many other vitamins and nutrients included. Thankfully this is a product that actually does contain a number of amino acids such as L-methionine, L-histidine, N-acetyl tyrosine, which are the best of all the ingredients included. These are the keys and help to provide neurotransmitter support to nourish the brain. Unfortunately this product comes with a lot of other ingredients, which are unnecessary and wasteful.
