My anxiety is still pretty high. I haven't exercised since the weekend, so I'm gonna go for a run after work today. I'm currently working on a project at work and have to read and summarize alot of things. I'm finding it very hard to focus and concentrate. I'm reading an not much is sinking in. I'm just gonna try and do my best today. I almost called in sick today because it was quite hard to get myself here. I may take a sick day tomorrow. This has been a really bad cycle of anxiety for me, but it will pass.
You are not alone. Can you make your nights easy and relaxed..it may make a difference in your mornings as well. Start journaling, as this can help you recognize your triggers and work toward progress.
Keep posting, this is a great exercise for you as well.
It sounds like it's been rough week for many of us. I hope that things turn around for both of you. I had a few bad days this week but tonight is good and I am hopeful that it is a sign of days to come. I find that from time to time I have to go back to redo the lessons. Things make more sense each time I go through them. The homework is difficult at times but it really helps in the long run. I look forward to reading about your successes soon!
I understand how you feel dealing with anxiety and panic for so long, sometimes you just want to give up. It takes alot of energy just to get through a day, I don't know about you but my significant other tells me "just get over it". I would love to do that but it is impossible. By participating in this program I am noticing some positive results, I went for an hour walk yesterday and actually enjoyed most of it. Felt really empowering. I did have negative thoughts and feelings but I told them to go away and let me enjoy my day.....you just get so tired of the panic and anxiety,,,,ask yourself...why me??
Do you wonder what it feels like not to experience these feelings? Must be wonderful!!
I have had panic and anxiety for 25 years, am on medication, which does not work so well anymore.
Don't give up!! You can and will do it!! We never got this disorder overnight and it is not going to go away overnight!!
It's my 6th day back from vacation, and 3rd day back at work, and my anxiety is through the roof. Yesterday was a little bit better, and I slept ok last night, but today is horrible again. I'm just stuck in this cycle of negative thoughts and panicky feelings - horrible! I'm feeling hopeless because its so overwhelming to think of everything I have to do at work during the day and then at home to get control of the anxiety. It's been 6 years dealing with this, and I'm feeling very scared that I can't do this.
