I am with Crimson Fox. Does it get easier. I was flying high from session 10 through 15 with minor bouts of anxiety. I have figured out my problem for the most part.............
"what are you obsessing about that is distracting you from the real problem?" -Lucinda My major source of anxiety is self-esteem, approval, doubt in myself, etc. I am fairly successful in my chosen career, family, personal life. I am just living with the constant fear of rejection, fear of looking bad, fear of what are thinking about me. On the surface, no one would guess what is going on in the inside; inside- I am torn up and anxious. i live through constant doubt about my appearance and overall self. i feel i have regressed but i am trying to keep this in perspective and know that at one time it was worse and struggled to get through the day. now it is only a distraction from life. i really hate myself when i go through periods of feeling low. i beat myself up about it. stupid thoughts, ridiculous in nature and not even really how i feel but buy into it with the constant worry about it. i am smart enough to know the remedy for it but it is so hard to be consistent in practice. if anyone has similar feelings, please respond. i always think.........is only me? i know it isn't but it feels like. i look at others envy and jealousy because i think they are all happy and i struggle at times to keep it altogether and going off the deep end so to speak. i know it is only anxiety but it is so damn convincing at times and completely makes me forget what i've learned. any suggestions? "I choose my thoughts. No thought, at any time, can dwell in my mind without my approval or permission." |

Normalcy,
You could just be having a "growth spurt". It happens when you finally feel like the anxiety is gone, then BOOM! panic attack.. They almost always pass, but i may take a few days. Go back and review. There is an awesome book called "Approval Addiction" by Joyce Meyers. Its awesome, and ive read it twice.. I got caught up in the seeking approval from everyone and anyone when i was having anxiety. Its a terrible feeling knowing your a doormat, like i was and not knowing how to change it.. But this book helped me alot, along with lesson on assertivness. There are always going to be people out there who dont like you for whatever reason. So What? Enjoy being YOU!!! Dont get caught up in the worry pit again. Take care Nelly |
