If you need to cheer up ;)

Think of the person you will be this date of the upcoming years

have been dreading this date for a few days , i remembered that 1/9/2019 was a horrible day , i had a severe aura migraine that day which caused an extreme panic attack and was going to be hospitalized , i was home alone and i really never felt fear as much as that day , my migraine was so severe maybe due to the stress it got even worse to a point i couldnt form words it was really scary i litteraly started praying

Thats why i was worried about it , because ever since my 1 year mark with this anxiety disorder, i have been relapsing every time i get these memories that i had thought i overcome

But today was an exception , i woke up feeling good , and unlike last year , and quite the opposite of it , i went out wasnt home , i was with family and friends not alone , and as the day ended i saw a picture from last year , i guess i took it to show myself how bad i looked , i was pale , in tears , just fed up with everything and i was hopeless thinking nothing will ever be fixed , as every time i say im not at 100% but again who is , we all have our struggles and i still fight those struggles every day

FOCUS ON THE IDEA ...THE PERSON YOU WILL BE ON THIS DAY NEXT YEAR , , regardless of how bad you are feeling now, it wont last , life is a rollercoaster and we are never dealing with the same problems , things change, we get stronger , we find new problems , new solutions , it takes time , it takes efforts but i really believe wheather you want to or not , wheather you believe or not , it will get better , its as cliche as it sounds but its true and its as simple as that , EVENTUALLY IT GETS BETTER ..

I love this. I like to say ‘be in the moment’ but there are times when we should visualize where we will be and not where we are or were.

Very good coping skill. Thanks for sharing. I currently have a migraine but of course will go to work at 4am anyway.

I’m going to think of this time in a week and I’ll get through the night.

I’ll use this next December 6. That’s the one year anniversary of my fathers passing.

Thank you and I’m so sorry what you went through.

I appreciate your feedback you are so kind, and i am very happy to help , i found that triggers can sometimes be positive rather than negative for anxiety, yes we shouldn't over analyze the future .. but this way the date itself doesnt have to be linked to a bad memory , i hope that migraine goes away as soon as possible 💕

Hi Kevin,

If we continue with a positive attitude every day is one step closer to where we want to be. It's good to get out with family and friends as often as you can.

It's best not to isolate ourselves. That can become a habit & hard to break.

Keep praying for the desire and power to accomplish your goals.

In the bible at Philippians 2:13 it says "For God is the one who for the sake of his good pleasure energizes you, giving you both the desire and the power to act." God answers that kind of request from his children. That's us :)
