Do you ever get to the point that you feel the anxiety coming and istead of trying to figure out what is causing it you just think, who cares? I dont mean in a negative way, but, in the "it is only anxiety" kind of way. The fact that you know what it is and dont really care that it is there. Knowing that you have been there done that kind of thing. The "does it matter" that its there kind of thing.

I think I may be there but in a way I feel like I may be "out of it".

Oh wow! Is this me healing? OMG IT IS isn't it? I am feeling the "I'm losing something that is a big part of me" feeling. I get to start saying see ya to anxiety and depression. Is this right? Is this me really healing? Oh man, am I really going to improve? I'm sorry but it just hit me as I was typing this post. HAs anyone else had this happen to them? Is that really what is going on?

I think you're on to something here! From what I've learned from the program and on my own, I think that attitude is absolutely right.

It seems like many people get bogged down in trying to pin point the problem that they never focus on the solution. If we can stop worrying about "why" then we can start working on "how". As you've said, with the caveat that unless there is something that is specifically causing our anxiety that we can directly address, why worry about why? Our energies can be directed much more usefully in other directions.

So, good work and consider this an electronic "gold star on your forehead"!
