As i write this i have heart palpitations, general sense of nervousness in my stomach and chest area and a little lightheaded. I have allergies too which never helps my physical symptoms. But.... i remind myself this is all discomfort and wont hurt me. It will pass and i can keep going while i wait.
I'm not perfect and i still feel nervous while waiting but can't let anxiety stop me from living.

It would help me to understand what you're writing about if I knew what you're waiting for. Twice you mention that you're waiting for something but what is it?
You sound good as far as handling your anxiety while waiting.
Hi BonnieSue, i am waiting for the physical symptoms of anxiety to pass. Claire Weekes talks about this in her book "Hope and Help for Nervous Suffering". If i feel anxious and stay in bed waiting for the symptoms to subside than i am letting the trick of anxiety get the best of me.
The physical symtoms of anxiety will subside in in time and i am working not to run from them in fear. Hope this makes sense
I have struggled with anxiety and depression sine moving to a new state 6 months ago and the last 4 mos have been the hardest but just recently i am feeling much better about my anxiety. I missed my home so much and felt alone since i am not working. I became ill with a chest infection which launched me into anxiety attacks and constant worry. I cried fir relief, did not go out, stayed in bed and cancelled plans made. I felt a wreck and slowly after many calls with family members for support, i started to simply get up, shower and dress everyday... one small step and i am building stronger everyday
