Stress Center Peer Support

I had recently started feeling a little better since i started working out daily and eating better. and then today im in my car and hear a story on the radio and it just brings back my whole nervousness an anxiety. anyone else ever have that happen. I know theres millions an milllions of people in this world but when i hear health stories it gets me worried.

Zach,

You will hear a lot of people on this forum say they don't watch the news. I read the newspaper, but I live just outside Memphis and the news every night starts with some murder, so I just don't even watch it anymore, unless I want to see the weather. Why scare the heck out of yourself for nothing. I swear, it is like the newscasters search all over the world for the most gruesome stuff they can air. We don't need that!!

BTW, good for you on the exercise and diet!! Don't let one scary episode set you back--sounds like you need to really praise yourself for all the progress you have made. Just because someone else had some health problem, when you look at it through the lens of reality, it has nothing to do with you, so don't let it get to you. Remember card 3 "I can control the thoughts I entertain".

Oh yea, that would be me too! I hated all the commercials " ask you dr. about this or that" I thought for a joke I would write down all the things I see on tv and ask him when I go in?! LOL..
I used to get up and turn on tv. I stopped that. I wait a hour to collect my thoughts and then turn it on. I do much better this way. Good luck! yes on card 3!
