Almost there.

I've come a long way from who I was 6 months ago. Ive been solving my anxiety issues one at a time, but right now...I can't help but feel a little hopless. I am much better at controlling my panic attacks, but now I have to control something that I have struggling now with for a while...my thoughts. I can't help but constantly think about my breathing and this fear of my heart stopping suddenly. I am healthy and my doctor says that I'm in very good shape, but I have a hard time convincing myself that. These negative thoughts are so emotionally draining, and it's hard to picture myself not overthinking things. Can anyone relate?

Yes I understand, but look how well you have done over past 6 months. Don't be too hard on yourself because of some set backs. Its so hard when you know its only you who can change it. So do some mindfulness and tell yourself that since you posted this, your still breathing. Your heart sold a great job all by itself, working away happily but your heart wants you to let it do the job all by itself. It is very draining and you can change it. Start today telling yourself right thats it enough, i am breathing and my heart is doing fine all by itself. Change the thought process away from that by doing some yoga or mindfulness. Play some music. If you can listen to Steven Furlick...be brave. On you tube. also he does a great talk on whatever whatever, all about the little chatterbox in our heads. so good.

Thinking of you and here u need a friend

Thank you soo much for the support. I realize that my fears are from just feeling anxious, but I do need to rely on the facts, and stop dwelling on what can't happen. Sometimes my thoughts can be flustering and I can't seem to get a grasp on them. I wanna live a "worry about my health free life" again :/

Well ur on the right road to recovery x being honest is a great start , things will change around for u , have a happy thinking day, all the great things u got going for u. Already am thankful for the fresh air we breathe, for my home and food in our fridge. I did not wake up in a war torn city, with real poverty n no food. Plus a big beautiful sunshine to light the path x thinking of u

Of course you have a problem with your thoughts; if you didn't, you wouldn't have a problem with anxiety. You've improved over the last 6 months which is fantastic! You're on the right track, please keep going.
