Just an update I am back on here after my break I will not be active as much as I used to be. I will respond once in awhile just so im not on this all the time. I have found that not being on this site after a little while actually helped me get strength to face my demons. I have been on the highway a lot more than I ever thought I would. Yes the anxiety is still there yes its worse when I think about going on the highway or to far places but, the moment I hop on the highway and see there is no escape I then see there is only one exit and that is to get through the highway. I feel it is good for you guys to take a break from this website and to create a goal and to just WING IT. Do not think about your anxiety do not think about your issues instead embrace them. I have come to face the fact that anxiety is not a bad thing at all. Anxiety as a whole s actually a very normal process and I always denied it and worried. Now I just try to let what ever happen happen. Nothing except our actions are in our control. We have to face that huge fact and for some we have major anxiety for not being able to CONTROL any outcome. So I say to you try taking a break from this site I used to post so much about my anxiety that made it worse because I would constantly ve thinking about it. So try posting goals and chase them try going one full day of not discussing your anxiety or any disorder you may face. If you succeed do it for 2 days and so on. If you fail its a practice and you can deff do it! Have a wonderful day guys!
Take a break guys: Just an update I am back... - Anxiety Support
Take a break guys
I noticed just yesterday that I was becoming too focused on the anxiety making it larger than it has to be. I am glad you are doing well. Best to you!
Hi kev
Your words are wise and true. I'm glad the break allowed you to refocus on something else other than Anxiety. After all there is a life out there to be had. I agree with the sentence you wrote about there only being one escape when on the highway and that is following it through. That's how we prove anxiety wrong, by going out of our comfort zone each and every time. There is nothing different from being on a side road and going on the highway except for the negative thoughts in our mind. They are thoughts and nothing more. Have confidence in yourself at all times. You know you can do it no matter what doubts your mind may throw your way.
Hope other than anxiety that life is going well for you. Still driving the ambulance? I use to think if only I can have the lights and siren on my car, I could drive anywhere. You can by just having a mind change. Anything is possible in life and you are proving it. Take care of yourself. Look forward to seeing you on the forum whenever you can. Make it a great day Kev
