Hi everybody, I haven't posted on this forum in many years, probably about 6 or 7. When I last posted I was not a happy camper, very anxious about everything in life. I was afraid to go out in public. I was always worried about when the next anxiety attach would hit, or if I was close enough to a bathroom when some stomach started acting up. It was a tough battle with myself. I am a survivor though, and today I'm doing really well, infact I'm fantastic.
The coping skills applied on the Stress tapes, hard work, exercise, all helped to elevate my stresses, and anxiety.
From not being able to drive 15min. to the next town over, my two daughters and I drove to Florida 2 winters ago, all the way from Canada, through an "epic" snow storm I might add. My life has change so much, I'm doing things that I was too frightened to do 10 years ago. I realize how much I'd missed out on.
All I wish to say is, keep going, things will get better, it's not a pleasant spot to be in having anxiety, no one wants it. I remember telling my husband once that I would rather have both my arms and legs broken, then have anxiety, at least once the bones heal I'm better again. But our minds can heal as well, so cheer up and don't dispair
Cheering for you all Sandy
doing really well
