Four little quotes.

[Beevee]

Some recent posts from people who are doing their very best to recover from debilitating anxiety and related symptoms (e.g. depression and a whole host of physical symptoms), have inspired me to jot down the following quotes that, with the benefit of hindsight, sum up what it takes to recover.

1. You won't move forward if you are standing still.

2. Feel the fear and do it any way (linked to 1.)

3. You won't get better until you stop trying to get better.

4. Doing nothing (about your anxiety) works! (linked to 3.)

None of the above should be news to any one who has read some of my posts on this forum but more than happy to explain the meaning behind them. In my opinion, if you understand the meaning of any one of the above and applying it to your life, recovery is inevitable and just a matter of time.

Best wishes

Thank-you for the quotes. 🦋

I will add a fifth, one that really resonates with me.....

The less you obsess and worry about how you feel, the less inward, and more outward you become, helping you to be more present and reconnect with the world around you ~

Thank you! Your quote fits very nicely under quotes 1 and/or 2. Moving forward is about living a normal life, doing normal things and taking the anxiety with you. In other words, feeling the fear and still doing it. By doing normal things, your focus will gradually turn outwards and not inwards.

Beevee, you somehow make me feel so secure when you are on.Imparting logical sense into us until it changes our lives.

What you say and what we do must come together in order for us to heal.

With thanks xx

...and you, my friend, are, in my mind, the President of this forum's welcoming committee to new friends joining the family with a warm greeting and steadying hand.

I'm beginning to wonder if you have your door bell wired to this website 😘

Love to you Agora! ❤❤❤

Thanks Beevee. Always there to remind us how to be free of Anxiety and all the other baggage some carry around. I love reading your posts. ✨

[Beevee in reply to Miss-P74]

Thank you Miss-P74. ❤

I'll keep chipping away and encouraged by more posts from people who are moving forward and walking the walk, regardless of how they may be feeling.

Beevee ❤

Yes, I know I can be direct and not a fan of waffle but always mean well. My mother always said i had a heart and the thumping in my chest wasn't caused by a house brick swinging on the end of a piece of string.

We all know what it is like to really suffer and the level of resilience required just to face each day.

It's not easy being us....but it will get easier 😊

"Learn to live with anxiety and you'll be able to live without it." Probably one of your quotes Beevee.

[Beevee in reply to Jeff1943]

🤔 Oooh, not sure it is Jeff but it's a goodun because its true.

Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

A few health issues that I can't blame on anxiety but then while that little black and white photo was taken German V1 rocket bombs were raining down on London🙄.
