I was 100% even through my darkest times i will find hope, today i did again , after weeks of panic attacks and anxiety , i have been searching new ways to reduce my anxiety , and especially for specific future events anxiety, realizing i had anticipatory anxiety, because for example i dont have agoraphobia, i dont have any fears that are long term, its just that i fear anticipation , imkeep thinking for months about a problem , and i have been telling that to myself for amlong time before knowing my problem today , i learned about something called pmr , muscle relaxing techniques, including clenching all body muscles gradually starting from the toes all the way up to the face then slowly realeasing , knowing new ways to calm always helps me cope, and knowing i will keep finding solutions to my problems always makes me hopeful and motivated to get better , i was starting to just give in a little bit because i felt formthe time being immust not supposed to be ok , but thankfully not to jinx it i think imwill work hard and hopefully get to a place where i can be confidently calm

Imdid get worried when i was clenching my arms and i felt my left arm hurt, thinking i might have injured something , thats where my health anxiety kicks in but i will try to keep calm ..
