Good morning yesterday I felt like it was my breaking point and was going to lose my mind.I had a really rough week feel like I am going backwards.I wasn’t able to get out my house until today.I pushed my self to go to church! I was able to pull through even tho I was crying!!
What has helped you?
Hi Mariposaa...After years of struggling with Anxiety and 5 years of Agoraphobia,
enough was enough. I took back control of my life. One step at a time, using one
method or tool at a time until I found I had the power within me to win over Anxiety.
No more would I fight this demon. I would accept it for what it was, a liar at best.
I realized that the thoughts it was sending me was allowing my gullible subconscious
mind to absorb these thoughts. Using YouTube as my "go to", I learned and listened
to many professional speakers who explained the causes behind Anxiety and the way
to break that control that it had with us.
Time and Practice are the keys in reaching your goal. I used Dr. Claire Weekes' theory
on Acceptance as my foundation in turning my life around. I am free now. I am in control
once more. It can be done and it will be done if you stay Positive. I'm happy you are a part
of this caring community. Thanks for taking that first step forward in joining us

I'm glad you went out today and that it helped you create a "win".
Reading, gardening, and crafting, are all things that ease my anxiety. However, my anxiety keeps me from doing those things.
One day at a time.
Dare by Barry McDonagh has helped me out a lot! Along with the app by the same name. I used the free version and it really helped me through my trying times. I struggled with agoraphobia and anxiety. Now I'm back out there again. I'm even driving again! Also maybe take a lil journal and write down all your "wins". Yes, I know you cried while you went to church but it's a win. You got out of the house. You step out of your comfort zone. Good on you! I think the Dare book or app can help you understand your anxiety a little better. That anxiety is a bit of a bully. But you can put that bully in it's place.
Also with anxiety, yes there will be times of setbacks. It sucks. Believe me I know. I hate failure or setbacks. But I must remember the wins I have accomplished (that's where the journal comes in. I can reread my victories. And tomorrow is another day to try again. Always keep pushing a little further at a time. Focus on the stair not the staircase. You'll get there!
Wishing you healing and love 🫂 ❤️
I push myself everyday to do things. It's never easy but I think not doing anything at all makes it worse . Don't ever give up.
Health anxiety makes me feel so alone
I wish it would end
I feel my sanity leaving me 
I lost everything important to me and i feel completely alone.
I wish I would have energy to just live my life
