Re: Help! Hypochondria out of control!

I can tell you that what you focus becomes so. Because you're paying so much attention, you're feeling every little pulse. I did the same thing last year when I was having stomach problems; I fretted and fretted until I finally had an endoscopy and other than having a very inflamed esophagus, I was ...

Re: Wish me luck!

Weak, oh yes...and embarrassed. I can't begin to tell you how many people have told me about their anxiety since I started telling them. It's amazing. I've also been taking an anti-depressent, something I wouldn't have dreamed of doing a year ago. My doctor told me not to keep beating myself up and ...

Re: Help! Hypochondria out of control!

I am so excited for you KKross. 12KM is amazing. I'm doing much better this week, have been keeping myself busy, doing all my lessons and journals. I've always eaten well and get lots of exercise so this week's lesson wasn't a big issue, not bad to get a refresher to know I'm on track. Let me know h...

Re: Aniexty up during monthly cycle

Thanks for posting this. Yes, I too experience more anxiety just before. Good to know that exercise helps counter some of that. I'll certainly rachett up the heartbeats in the next week or so.

Cheers,

Re: How do you eat what you are afraid of?

As soon as I saw this post I got right on it because I've been having problems eating as well. I have chronic reflux and for a while was eating...well not much of anything. I lost a ton of weight and, of course, began thinking I had cancer. I was just about crazy with worry until I had a stomach sco...

Re: Planning for an event

Good for you! Sounds as if you're putting this situation into its proper perpesctive. It sounds as if this venture is a long term one so this is just the beginning. Think of it as the first step, a practice run perhaps. Know that the more persistent you are, the more successful you will be. You can'...

Re: Wish me luck!

OMG my sample coaching blew me away. That woman got to the core of me so quickly my head was spinning. I've been going to counseling for several months and it's been good but noting like yesterday (or for the rest of this program). I've decided to continue with the life coaching and I can't wait to ...

Re: "stop being affected...

I'm impressed, too. Even though I still have my moments, instead of being outright crazy panic filled moments, it's more like a restlessness now. Tonight when I was feeling that way I made myself sit on the couch and read the newspaper. Before I would have been pacing or cleaning. It was great. Luci...

Re: Wish me luck!

How about if I wish you perseverence instead :D I can tell from the way you write you are on the right track. Do you still have shaky moments? I know I do but, boy, am I getting better at recognizing those dark thoughts that carved out my thorny path. I don't know what got me thinking yesterday abou...
