Somewhat productive two days

[Adamj]

Yesterday had an echocardiogram which came back normal also had a 24 hour heart monitor put on but the darn leads kept coming off because the lady never shaved my chest so duct tape worked well that also came back normal returned it mid day today. Also had my first intake session with my new counselor yesterday I’m going to give her one more shot not sure I was really liking her but I’m always open to give someone another shot. Today went for a drive with my girlfriend also went to a diner and had dinner with her tonight was nice though was anxious the whole time thinking something was going to happen to me. But over all not a bad experience. I just wish I could figure out how to get the derealization not feeling real space out to stop. Also still am trying the buspar been on it one full week it may be helping but I wanna feel real again and I’m not going to take the whole this is the new you bs i was told by the counselor nope i don’t want to be a zombie.

Hi Adamj well to me it sounds like you had a very positive day in getting great resultswith your echo as well as monitor and then going out to dinner.

If anything, can you see how the negatives are coming from your thoughts and not

a physical issue?? xx

[Adamj in reply to Agora1]

Yep makes sense I’m trying the whole acceptance thing or they’re just thoughts. And realizing I notice everything my body does and it doesn’t mean that it’s something bad. It’s taking a lot of learning again

[Agora1 in reply to Adamj]

Yes it does take a lot of retraining and acceptance but it can be done.Adam you are on the right wave length...I see you as so close to winning over

the tricks of the mind that anxiety produces in us. Keep going forward.... xx

Very good advice for all of us, thank you. Unfortunately, we all want instant results, myself included, but we just have to try and be patient , I guess.
