Hi everyone,

Just writing this as a BIIIIIG reminder to myself and others that just because you have a bad morning or afternoon does not mean the entire day will be bad or the rest of your life (that's catastrophizing, one of my worst habits when I feel anxious) It seems funny now that I am feeling much better...

I am now feeling so grateful that I feel better and am thinking more positively. I feel thankful for all my support from my family and friends. It also makes me feel better to know that there are lots of people who have struggled and have really improved their quality of life through directly ATTACKING the problem, no matter how anxious that can make you at times.

Never give up - it is frustrating when anxiety returns, you want to be able to instantly shut it down and it feels bad when you can't - but IT WILL PASS. I'm hoping with every time I fight it, the TIME it takes to pass will become shorter.

If that means every time I feel bad and I improve by only one second in my "TURNAROUND TIME" eventually I will be able to enjoy more and more seconds of my life and that is my ultimate goal - to enjoy that precious present moment I keep hearing about.

Love and light to all of you...

Heather

I am glad that you posted that Heather. I can relate. I find that times I wake up I have that anxious heaviness in my heart/chest. And then I start thinking negative things. Like I can't make it today, you are not good enough, etc.

There are days on my drive to work I am shaking and want to throw up. It gets to be so intense. Within the last month I have called in 3 times because of this depression/anxiety reoccuring again.

And like you said--later in the day it passes. On my drive home I think to myself, my goodness I am proud of all that i accomplished and I can't believe that all that negativity I was thinking of never came to pass.

I don't know why we get like that.....

I too am trying to figure out why I can feel so great at one time, then feel bad again for no apparent reason. I can go to bed feeling super. Nothing but positive thoughts in my head. Then wake up the next morning and feel down again. Its frustrating.

it is so nice to read everybodys post!!!!!!!! I can really relate to feeling so horrible in the morning and then i start to fear only the worst and start thinking I'll never be happy again and you all know the rest. Even it it's not till the end of the day I sometimes get some relief of the horrible anxious feelings and I hate when I have to go to bed.I feel like I just started to feel better around 6:00 in the evening,I wish I could always feel that way early in the day when I actually have to go places.
Thank you for the positive encouragement and it is good when ever you get a break from the anxiety!!!!!!!!
I pretty new to this and it has been so great to finally talk with others that I can relate to :) No in my family or my friends get it and I feel like a looser,because I struggle day to day with this and it is so frustrating to be this way. I just pray someday soon I can beat this and with having my wonderful children, I want to be better .

Today I felt pretty incredible, and was not anxious for the large majority of the day. I did have a panic attack this evening, as I started to have what if thoughts and worries and anxiety about the upcoming workweek - but I remembered that I will float through it, and though uncomfortable, will pass. And it did. And I didn't damage any relationships, I'm proud of myself for recognizing the anxiety for what it was, and not allowing myself to do any life planning (as in my life is over) - instead, focused on breathing, squeezing my friend's hand, and trying to empty my mind...

Now I feel calm and relaxed again, and thankful that you can all relate - it really helps to know others feel alone and afraid too - when I feel really anxious I feel so alone, like I need to run away from everyone and everything. When I start to calm down I can write to you guys and feel connected - and able to be a positive part of my relationships in life...

Stay connected guys! We are not alone...

Heather
