Obsession

[treeman]

I was wondering if other people have this Obsession with Anxiety. Thats what bothers me the most is that I cannot get it out of my mind. I think this is what fuels my anxiety. I realize that alot of my thoughts are irrational but still they come. I wish there was a way we could all forget about Anxiety and all would be solved.Thanks

My friend read this book which taught people to rid their minds of negative/irrational thoughts by envisioning ejecting a cassette from a tape recorder and throwing the cassette out, everytime you get a negative thought.  The cassette represents the negative thought.  My friend kept practicing this over and over again and it relieved her anxiety.  She also had a lot of support from her friends and family.  I think one needs support from the people around them as well.

Good luck to you!

That is the main problem for all of us!  We obsess about all of our symptoms and wonder why, how, when. etc.....

From what I am reading that is the key to ridding ourselves from anxiety..diversion...we have to constantly try our best to divert our minds whenever those crazy and irrational thoughts come into our heads.  It is hard work, but I have heard that it can be done...and I am trying my darndest to overcome this...and I plan on WINNING!!
