Waiting for the next attack???

[Chinaadventure]

I have been in the process of switching medications and making adjustment to my therapy and my treatment. I'm definitely starting to feel better. However, I still have this overwhelming feeling that I'm waiting for the next time the bottom is going to fall out. I know I should be thankful for the small steps I know I should be thankful for the movement that I made however this is part of my anxiety that I'm just waiting for the next episode or next attack. Anybody ever experienced the same thing? Stay strong all one day at a time one moment at a time put your best foot forward and live in the moment and live for the day! 💪🙏❤️🤞

Hey! I’m happy to hear you are making progress. Those small steps are still forward motion. Living a lifetime with anxiety myself, I understand about waiting for the bottom to fall out. In my case. it eventually led to fear of panic attacks which become a whole other issue that only made things worse. Once your system begins to relax from the med changes, you will see more steps, bigger steps which will boost your confidence and lessen the thoughts of what “could” happen. Waiting for anxiety to happen kind of sets us up for failure. You have a great attitude about it, and yes, on day at a time. Keep looking forward, better days are ahead. 🙏😀

Definitely know the feeling, discomfort is not dangerous. konw that youve been through it all before. Even if you struggle you can handle it as always and anxiety cannot harm you

Anticipatory anxiety can be a hell of a thing, it's like setting yourself up for failure. I can totally appreciate the idea though I've done it enough myself. Med changes and health anxiety seem to enjoy making things worse! Learning how to cope with what you do have to deal with (not trying to avoid it) is a great strength. You sound like you have a good outlook on things, that's a strength you can rely on
