Something that help me to keep moving foward

[Timsmith]

I KEEP TELLING MY SELF TO TRY TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT DYING TOMORROW BECAUSE IT'S TAKING TIME AWAY FROM TRYING TO LIVE TODAY. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK BUT IT DOES ALOT AND THE MORE I LIVE BY IT THE MORE I THINK IT WILL HELP.

Well, the proof is in the pudding - you're here now to tell the tale which proves that the feeling is just nonsense.

Look to the future - don't fear it.

I agree John but sometimes easier said then done and I have only been fighting this anxiety for the last year. I couldn't imagine a life time of it. I use to think people were weak minded with stuff like this now I realize how strong they actually are to keep Carring on with life and fighting the good battle. Hats off to them

you are absolutely right. I believe we are born with a plate of goodies and baddies. Whatever is on that plate is ours to deal with. I do my best and forget all the rest .life is for living. I am 80 years old.

Keep telling yourself that ... you are right. Live by the words - don't give up. Fear is trying to control you ... the feeling is false. You know that. Please, live each moment. Live a minute at a time, then 5 minutes then 10 minutes. And remember that you are not going to let fear take away your life. It is "false evidence appearing real." That is all it is. And you know, there was a time when fear like that was necessary. It kept human kind from being eaten by dinosaurs or whatever. You got scared, you ran, you lived. The feeling is normal. We just don't need to run from dinosaurs any more. Hang in there and keep finding a way to live your life. Acknowledge the feeling of fear or worry then move on. You say "hi" to it then just move on. I am so glad you posted. Everyone here understands and can offer ideas to help you find your way through this. We have all been and/or continue to be affected by panic and anxiety. My very best to you.
