I was doing quite well too for about six weeks and then had a full blown panic attack. But this week has been o.k., just depressed from time to time. In answer to your question, I don't believe there is an end to our problems until we die....there will always be something, so maybe how we deal with what comes along is more important than what is happening inside us??? Dealing with GAD the best way you can sounds good, I am dealing with it with meds.; and keep telling us how you are feeling, and I will do the same for you...how about that? That is what support is all about? I got another letter from Patch Adams; (doctor who specialises in people like us who was one of us), and he says that, "it's hard when you're feeling sad to change suddenly", but that he acted from a pattern of words such as "I do this so that this will happen"...anotherwords I think what he meant was he decided to act so that a particular result would occur as apposed to just feeling (blue, anxious, etc. etc.). Perhaps our types tend to live our lives based more on our feelings instead of thinking out particular outcomes of actual actions. He also suggested thinking of painting our dreams in whatever way we can. If we can think as a child thinks for our own futures, dig back to our dreams and come up with what we really wanted our dream reality to look like, it might help us along the road to happiness, lack of anxiety etc. What are your dreams for the future? :blush:
