Glimmer of hope

[Jodi_S]

I woke up this morning with those anxious feelings. But they weren’t crippling. Instead of an all encompassing feeing over my whole body, it’s an anxious feeling in my chest. I have accepted that I have anxiety but I am still saying it will go away. This will not last forever. Although I may be frustrated that these feelings are still there, I am acknowledging the fact that they’re not as intense. I am focusing on that instead of the fact that it’s still hanging around. Praying each day continue yes to get better and one day, it will be gone.

My doc wanted to increase my meds but since I am seeing these glimmers of improvement, I am hesitant to do it. I’m on 20 of celexa and they want me to take 40. I don’t want to do this because I don’t want to deal with the possible side effects of the increase.

I am still leaning on my family and my faith to get me through this. For the past week, every time I get in the car, the song Everything’s Gonna be Alright comes on. This morning, I smiled and told God thank you. That I am getting the message. Feeling hopeful about today! I have a therapist appointment at 11 and am looking forward to her insight and advice. Focusing on my many blessings and not this set back of anxiety. This WILL pass. I refuse to believe otherwise.
