A Note For Hope and Good Health

[Sunnidayz1]

Ive been on this site for about 3 weeks. Ive worked hard & Im now at the lowest dose of meds for anxiety & panic. Yesterday was the 1st day I went somewhere w/o my hubby in a social place and boy was I nervous...

This is the thing about anxiety: if you want to heal, you got to push yourself through the ring of fire. You have to. Theres no other way. It takes courage but you have to do it to prove to yourself that you can do it. If I had gone home and cancelled my plans I would have done myself a disservice bc the anxiety would have built up for next time. So I did it. I cried beforehand bc I was petrified but once I did I felt better and was able to walk through the door to meet my friend. It wasnt easy once I got inside a busy place I was still uneasy but I took breaths and was fine. Im proud of myself and Im looking forward to other good experiences.

Please let me know if you are going through the same and getting healthier by the day to beat this thing OR if I can help anyone going through this please let me know. One thing is for sure: there is hope, always, for a better life; a healthier one.

Im so glad you went out! Anxiety is so tough, its basically fearing anything and sometimes everything and so hard to push through, but you did it!!! I struggled with this in the beginning of my anxiety journey, but Ive learned to cope, and leave the house and be in social settings. I still get overworked though, but remain with a poker face lol.
