Just to let you all know that I am doing much better, here's some things that may help others.
I have started a bit of walking and jogging, cutting down on cigarettes, eating healthier, setting some goals, getting out everyday and socialising with good people, making new friends, cycling.
Now we all know it's incredibly hard when we are exhausted but it beats sitting there and suffering, setting goals and following them through helps beat the random thoughts, having a focus on a goal really does help, it rewires the sub conscious to new paths.
Many people will find the weekends harder, especially sundays because it's a much quieter day, go out...go and walk, jog...visit sunday markets, friends etc....DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOUR ANXIETY TELLS YOU!
I hope this helps, it's working for me, It's not easy, I suffer with back pain, I don't use pain killers but use a muscle rub. You can do this....if I can...we all can.
Love to you all xxx

thank you London-man i will try to do something today at least get out of bed
Morning LM
What a lovely positive post , I am so pleased things are getting a lot better for you
Already you have inspired mimii I wonder what she is going to get up & do , somehow I cant see her jogging , we will have to see if she posts later & lets us no
Not sure we are meant to have the coffee & fag first & if we are having to look for the jogging gear , I will take this as a no post later that mimii went jogging
Tesco's myself , only maybe because I find it easy to on line shop there , & you get points , with their cards
erm , tooth , well , its better than it was , still not quite right , I am thinking one of them may be needing a root canal , not sure , but if it does , I am really hoping it will hang on as with the hospital this week , if I had to attend the dentist as well all in one week well ...
So keep everything crossed , even in your dreams , that I can last out with the dentist visit
It will help others, it's working for me. I have two job opportunities coming my way, one is teaching photography and the London hospital have asked me to do some lectures and consulting for the smokers clinic. I should hear back from them in two weeks. The photography thing is in the pipeline, friends of mine have opened an art gallery and want me to run photography classes from there.
In the meantime i'm concentrating on getting fitter and healthier, eating well and creating new things. We can all do this, we all know it's incredibly hard when we have this anxiety problem but it is the way forward....I will go out of my way to help everyone here get their lives back.
Good luck to you , I am so pleased you seem to have managed to turn this round , I do believe we all take different paths with this anxiety , some longer than others & believe which ever one we do go down , there is always a reason , but we will all get down them in the end , well done you
Hey!, its great to hear things have turned around so well for you, i often find i crash down then slowly build back up just trying to carry on doing what i would normally do and then without realising it I'm 'ok' again. I completely agree with the idea of just doing what you don't feel like doing, as i know if i sit in my house feeling safe i wont get better until i just go and do the things that are worrying me and prove to myself i can. Eventually i get so frustrated sitting in as i know its not what i want my life to be. anyway slightly ramble but hey ho never mind. Also i have a dog and she is good for me as i know i have no option but to get up and walk her in the morning, no 'waiting til i feel ok' i just get up and go before i convince myself otherwise...
Yep...it's the way forward, i had two anxiety attacks last night and woke up this morning a bit shaky, but i'm just having a cuppa tea then i'm off out on my bicycle for a while. Later at 5pm i'm off to a turkish steam bath, it's my first time...my mate is bringing me, he's a massuese and is going to work on my back.
Make some goals, follow them through....it really does change things for the better.
Hi bonnie, you can do this, imagine I am sitting in the passenger seat next to you, think that it's just a normal day,you're out driving with a friend. Talk to me as if I am right next to you, pay no attention to anyone looking at you, they will just think you are using a hands free phone.
I went got the petrol. Putting it in i felt wobbly shaky and detache but aware of what i was doing. So strange and horrible. I then chatted away to you as i drove around different roads. Made out i was showing you the sites. I did feel like i was behaving a bit mad .so i
Put music up at the loudest it would go. And was singing to it. But didnt feel right like i felt a fake. Pretending to enjoy the music if you no what i mean. So then put blue tooth on and rang a friend and drove and drove and talked to them. I got back at 1.30 . So did it for 2 and half hours. Felt better most of the time . Stil ill but better if you no what i mean. I didnt want to come home. But the heat was making me feel worse so i came back. My air con is not working in my car so to hot.
Well done hun, just keep going...that's your first step done, as you keep going forward you find new things to do and before you know it...you have your life back
