SO TRUE

THE LESS YOU OBSESS AND WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL, THE FREER THE MIND BECOMES AND THE MORE YOU REATTACH WITH THE WORLD AROUND YOU

It's changing your negative thoughts into positive. It does work in the end, it takes time thou. All I used to do was think it even wait for a panic attack to come because I had them daily, its all I thought about. Then wen it did come I just used to fight it. All I had was negativity, nuthing positive. Then I started changing the negative thoughts. Instead of thinking morning to nite about it, I started saying in my head,and out loud sometimes. I'm not dreading u coming if u wanna come, then come. Do ur worst, u can't hurt me. As time went on, I got more and more postive. But even thou i can still b negative, I say positive things to my self. I argue with my self alot. Like wen I went to the cinema a few weeks back, I had avoided it because if all the people made me anxious. I sat in there and I Cud feel it come, so in my head I was saying just come if u want but I'm not moving I've waited a yr to see this film, so I'm not going anywhere x

How do you maintain it?

I can be this head strong, but I don't know how to keep it up.

.I find jogging/excercise really helps me as I can tell my body what to do and that I'm in charge and it's gonna do what I tell it, but as soon as I have a weak moment, (maybe illness or money/family worries or just a lot going on, I lose all that strength and totally give in, even though I know I'm doing it, I just can't help it.

Where/how do you find the strength to keep going?

It will become as natural as breathing eventually. You can get well and maintain it . Maybe have setbacks but doesn't everyone? We are very sensitive people aren't we?. This time of year when all we see is hustle and bustle it's enough to set us all off panicking! Gets me every year. All advertising is set to excitement...which our bodies interpret as anxiety. I'ts the same feeling only with fear and dread attached. Hang in there and keep practising. You are all doing really well!! much love xxxxxxxxxxx
