Anxiety and Panic coming back
I am having a hard time with Lesson 12 too. I hate change. I've learned how to deal with what is going on with me (the anxiety), and I am somewhat comfortable. This lesson throws it in my face. But, I want to get better. I want to challenge myself in life. I don't do that right now. I stay "safe". I stay where I am familiar. But, there is so much life that I am missing out on. Right now I am stuck, but dragging myself forward. Tomorrow I do the homework for chapter 12. Encouraging words would be great! I know you guys know what I'm going through!

Wow Wow Wow...me too.
Sounds like many of you are experiencing high levels of anxiety. I have gotten my muscle twitches and soreness to show back up again. I have been anxious for the last month and a half or more. It good to know that I am not alone and I can do this for sure.
I realized today that I get myself to feel irritated and anxious so that I don't risk feeling rejected. I feel irritated because I don't trust myself to protect myself in the moment. I would rather feel irritated then risk over reacting and looking stupid to my friends and family. The funny part is that when I allow the irritation to climb so high I notice the smallest thing and boom I over-over-react and then I really do look foolish.</span>

Yes my anxiety comes and goes with stressful situations. This is why I think I put up with my anxiety for so long because during the calm times of my life I felt normal. But in an instant during stress I was reliving this life of anxiety again. So yes you are not alone and things will get better. I'm only on week 2 and so far my anxiety is still with me. When does it seem to go away during this process?
