Anxiety update

[dogmom88]

I haven’t posted on here for awhile but a quick update on my anxiety: I have been feeling good the last couple of weeks. I know not everyday will be perfect and I will sometimes feel more anxious than other days but I’ve learned to accept it. I feel my intrusive thoughts aren’t as bad lately and when I do feel worried about something I try to think of something completely different. Like I said, I know I will have bad days but thought I’d let everyone know that things can and will get better!

Thanks dogmom88 for sharing a positive post. It sounds like you found the "key"

in getting better and that is Acceptance. You've got this now, continue going forward

you are doing great. xx

That's terrific news. It feels so good when we reach that point. Understanding what's going on and working with it.

Knowledge is power. When we have our bad days knowing what works will get us through.

I'm so happy for you thank you for updating.

Happy New Year. I am pleased for you that you are getting the upper hand on your anxiety. There is a great book by Dr. Claire Weeks, Hope & Help 4 your Nerves, it may help you even further in your quest. I have it had it for 30 years, it is a great help. I also like the saying "In acceptance there is Peace", much better than fighting with our brain. Our brains are wonderful, but so complicated, and need chemicals to make them function properly, when my anxiety is super bad, I have Lorazepam to take, it helps a lot, thankfully I have not taken one since Sept.

I admire your strength and learning how to function with your illness. I send you all the best and in 2020 may you continue to progress. Sending love, strength, peace and big hugs......Sprinkle 1.....

Thank you for the book recommendation. I actually just purchased it. I have a few books that have helped but am always looking for new ones. Excited to start reading it!
