My own worst enemy

Why am I my own worst enemy? I woke up this morning feeling fine sat down and started thinking about the last week and how bad I've been now all of a sudden I'm at the height of anxiety, horrible feeling in my stomach, struggling to breathe and now worrying bad about my health. I'm so so tired of being this way 😭

Hello :-)

So many of us all of a sudden are opening up about our HA

I have been on here a while and it has never been as rife the posts of people now opening up that are struggling myself included

Is it the covid that has made us worse I am not sure but I know I relate to that feeling of been my worse enemy I do the same and I imagine lot's more will agree that they do to

Don't give yourself a tough time though , you have HA , you never asked for it

Try and accept ok that is what I did this Morning but now I have the rest of the day and I will do my best to accept the way I feel and try and deal with it

Not easy I know but you have the Community which is something where you know you can come and be understood :-)

I think many of us do this but it is not helpful. We need to remember that the past has gone and there is nothing we can do to change it, we can only start again and try to make things better. Instead of sitting thinking why not try to keep busy and use relaxation and mindfulness apps to help you to stop dwelling on the anxiety. I use headspace app, music and reading to distract myself x
