then this week, i started to have some scary thoughts . I am due for my monthly next week and i am hoping that is all it is. The past few months have been great, limited anxiety. Life is going good, i am happy. Then BAMMM! a thought pops in my head and i start to obsess... had this happen a few months ago too. No idea what triggered it....but it went away.

Things like this make me feel as though I am never going to get past this

hi Diggy, I think it will always come back, its a natural body response (anxiety and thoughts) but I do think the time gets lost in between b.c. we are managing it better! however, keep in mind EVERYONE has bad days, try really hard not to let this one bad day or bad week ruin your entire month! tomorrow is a new day and you will feel better.. remember when you feel this way do something you enjoy, just for you! keep journalling girlie!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I know. The scary thoughts are the hardest. I know they say its our minds way of distracting us from a real problem. Thank god for the program cause if i told anyone some of them, they would think i was a nut case!
Have a great weekend. Think i will treat myself to a manicure/pedicure!

I hear ya sista! this outlet has been incredible for me! enjoy the mani/pedi and work on that positive self talk! I think you are right, the thoughts do distract us from stress.. I find that anyways! (and my period too!) best wishes! keep in touch!

Hey there Maeggie - you made laugh when you mentioned your period. I am in week 14 of the program and was happily moving forward, getting busy with my life again and SMACK went the hormones - I have felt tweaked from that for the past 10 days. It really knocked the wind out of me when I was doing so good. But I have been working hard at my skills and it is getting better again. My coach told me that during this kind of thing you just have to get through it - using your skills. I need to get a little tougher emotionally to be able to deal with the good and the bad. This is really hard, but I am proud of myself for learning these skills. Anyone else have a hard time during their "hormonal" days????

Always , some months worse than others. Just got to remind myself its on 7-10 days and everything will be just fine. Keep positive and cheerful!
