Thanks that is great advice, and I get it, if u sit around without trying to work at something it will get out of hand but if u work at it every now and then u can keep it under good control. Great advice thanks again
I am glad that you are going back to therapy. I believe that it will help you tremendously. For me, when I went back, it provided that extra motivation to deal with it once again. I also continue to go to group counseling about once a month even though I don't believe that anxiety is a huge part of my life right now. I find that if I 'maintain' my awareness of it, it helps keep it at bay and by going every month or so, I can also help others as well as be aware of anxiety creeping back into my life. I kind of look at anxiety like I do running. If I stop for an extended period of time and try to start back up then it may seem like an impossible task...I believe we lose our conditioning if we don't 'practice' on a regular basis, so don't be too hard on yourself if the anxiety returns. You do, however, have the knowledge and experience to confront it and that is a huge advantage in my opinion...keep us posted!
Not really I want to nut now that I'm feeling like this it's a little hard an scary for me. I'm going back to therapy on Friday. It helped before o believe it will help again.
From your other posts, I realize that the last few days have been stressful for you. Have you practiced relaxation exercises, worked out and thought about entering therapy?
Yea I have been suffering from anxiety for about three four years now. I was on zoloft witch helped me 100% I'm off of the medz now this about two years and had a few issues nothing major. Been through a stressful four week vacation (a long story). And now I'm back home it's starting all over again.
Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Have you been experiencing anxiety recently or in the past? In my experience, panic attacks can occur when we are about to or are sleeping. When I initially went through this, I would have them at night sometimes. If this is currently an ongoing problem or you have had these in the past, have you sought help for it? For me, just learning about it through talking it over with someone helped me to understand it and confront it...keep us posted!
