Just tripping..

[Espinoza38]

So I've been having bad acid reflux haven't taken my tums in 2 weeks. Today I chose to take it. It worked but now I'm in a full blown anxiety all because it went away. Like for reals am I really having one is my body really tripping all because I feel better.

It's crazy isn't it Espinoza38? Anxious whether we are struggling or get a little relief for a while. That's how over sensitized our nervous system is, in that we cannot handle change. There have been times I was so preoccupied with something and then a sudden thought had me crashing because I realized everything had been going well. Rather than think that maybe that's a good thing, the anxious mind tends to put us into fear that something must be wrong because I feel so good.

Give me a break Anxiety. Why do you want to take every moment away from me? The Anxiety Bully might respond with "Because I can"... We can't allow it. We must Accept anxiety for what it is. A misfiring of the watch tower in our brain. Setting off an alert/alarm that something is not right. If we accept it as a lie and not harmful, we can get past it and enjoy those few moments of peace and tranquility. Breathe Espinoza, you've got this. xx

it's a strange thing how the 'devil you know is better than the one you don't know'....we get used to things the way they are sometimes and when there is a change ...good or bad...we sometimes get a bit flustered....self sabotage was my biggest problem....just letting myself alone sometimes, stop looking for the other shoe to drop, or just being content that a little peace was happening....I was not comfortable without chaos in my life because I had become too used to always having chaos going on....yeah...kind of weird...but it's true for a lot of us....we just have to learn to be okay with the peace....
