Song pick

[Trainchaser]

If you could some up your life with one song what would it be. I thing The Long And Winding Road by the Beatles

[Agora1]

That's a good one Trainchaser... I'm still thinking of one for myself xx

Good question..

[Agora1]

This is an old song that my mom use to sing and play the guitar to.

"Che Sera Sera" (Whatever will be, will be)

There are no answers in life. It's a journey. As we arrive to our different

destinations, we learn and we experience the answers to our questions. xx

Very good post but sometimes the fear of the unknown scares me

[Agora1 in reply to Trainchaser]

It's normal Trainchaser to feel fear and anticipation of the unknown.

However, if we don't, we will stay in a never- ending cycle of fear.

Time goes by whether we accept the unknown or cower in fear.

Don't allow Anxiety to trap you by it's lies. xx

All of that is true but hard emotionally to handle Not having a good day today. Rick

[Agora1 in reply to Trainchaser]

Hi Rick, I'm sorry today seems to be a hard day for you. It happens but when

it continues and starts robbing you in living that's when you need to readdress

the situation.

4 months ago, you stated in one of your posts that you felt you were taking too

much medication. Sometimes, too much keeps us trapped in a never ending cycle

of fear, anxiety and what ifs.

I am not a doctor and can only go by my own experiences. At one time, being on

so many drugs for different issues caused me to want to do nothing but sleep.

Napping became my escape but was it worth it when I woke up to immense fear?

Life is meant to live and not sleep it away. Have you approached your doctor on

these ongoing feelings? Maybe the meds no longer work.

Maybe it's time to add something more than meds and therapy. That is daily methods

in working on your fears in life. Medication only goes so far but unless the mind is

retrained to accept the bumps in the road, we continue struggling. Just a thought xx

I have a appointment with my doctor in a couple of weeks. I have a list of questions for him. I try to slow things down but sometimes seems a uphill battle. I worry about many things that have not occurred. Sometimes I can stop the cycle and other times it spins out of control. I am feeling better now than I did earlier

[Agora1 in reply to Trainchaser]

As for the things that have not occurred, i call them my "what ifs", I immediately

ask myself out loud, "does this help me?" Of course the rational answer is "No"...

And then I continue on with my day. It takes practice and perseverance

but eventually the brain will respond with a more positive approach. xx

[Trainchaser in reply to Agora1]

I kinda do that now. A thought would enter my mind and I would try to pivot usually movement. The process is so draining mentally and physically

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Trainchaser]

I think we all have fear of the unknown. It’s part of my mental illness. Anxiety lies to me and tells me the future is full of doom and gloom. I try not to look at the future and live a day at a time. It’s less frightening that way.

I sing that to myself ..sometimes we have to let go…whatever will be, will be:). 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰

[Agora1 in reply to Dixie9326]

I hear you Dixie xx

[Cat33]

That song gets me every time It has been a long and winding road for me too but as it says" Lead me to your door " I believe that door is peace and freedom from fear

We will get there

All the very best x
