Challenging the impossible

Today I am challenging myself to believe that I am okay. That I'm not going to die, or have cancer, or something really serious.

I have to start believing the positive. Ask myself "Why am I anxious? How can I change this?" Instead of automatically worrying and giving in!

No more googling. No more making the worse assumptions! Instead challenging myself and saying that it's probably the least life threatening thing there is. I'm a bit skeptical of the doctors missing something on the CT scan but I have to put my trust into SOMETHING other than worry and doubt.

End of rant. Lol

Every time you write on here about health/ anxiety you are reinforcing your own problems. Why not see if you can go for a few weeks without writing anything about yourself and just helping others here. I don’t mean to be cruel but meditation should be on positivity and meditation on negativity will make you unwell and create a bad destiny. Ruminations if you are autistic are something to try and stop by using mindfulness meditation focussed on breathing

Some of these people have given me the strength to keep going. Have been listening ears in times of darkness when no one has been here. Literally kept me pushing through when I thought I couldn't anymore. Let me vent. Let me cry. And have encouraged me to know its okay to feel like complete shit sometimes. That's what this site is for. If you dont like my bitching you might want to unfollow me, or block me

Good 😀...have a worry free weekend ,your in control

Wonderful progress!! It will feel challenging at first but keep up the positivity and it will be automatic soon. Circumstances will change in time but until then you will feel much lighter on your feet. So proud of you. Let us know how it feels as time goes by. 👏👍

Your my motivation today. Yes, your right. Why am I anxious? All is well, I’m not going to die or have something very bad. I’m with you!
