Hi there, I hope everyone is safe. It has been a strange period with the pandemic and I have luckily been healthy and employed. I had to reschedule my wedding three times and finally this past week we had our dream wedding. I also have started another new but better job and again on the way back from the honey moon I became anxious, anxious about not being thin enough, not caught up at work and an overall uneasiness about things that were not really issues. Well true to form these thoughts of not good enough, not perfect in all areas made my heart race and my anxiety was high enough that I pulled over, got it together and finished my trip home. It's old stuff usually happens after a stressful but good event. I am trying not to go back to beating myself up or measuring my progress by how many panic attacks have this time want to learn to accept that I have anxiety and practice self care and stop expecting myself to have it all together this is a real struggle for me. I didn't come this far to come this far.

My very best wishes on your wedding! x I'm very happy for you.Despite this strange and difficult period of time, you've seem to have kept
safe as well as employed with even a better job. Congrats on that..
The thing with Anxiety is that our brain doesn't know the difference between
good anxiousness and bad. And so it interprets happy exciting thoughts and feelings
with the same familiar physical symptoms of stressful times.
The average person would feel it as joy and exhilarating. We feel it as "oh oh it's happening again" and so it does. Changing your thought process to a more positive approach will
change what you get. Keep taking steps forward. We will be here to support you xx
