Today is a good day

[Christrev]

I feel like I'm reaching a turning point with the way I'm managing my anxiety.

This is the bravest step I have taken and it is turning out to be the most rewarding step I have taken.

I am simply accepting that a headache here or there, a brain zap, a feeling of pins and needles or tinglings in my foot are simply sensations of the body that occur to everyone or they are simply sensations that I have been self perpetuating by looking out for them and panicking when they come.

I am no longer going to waste my life away with worry - I will enjoy every moment and accept that life is full of random events and none of us know what is going to happen. All we can do is live in and experience the present moment and take happiness from the experiences around us.

It's a good day.

Best thing we can all do

Great to hear! Did you figure that out on your own or are you working with a therapist? That's actually a technique I've hear of and use. We can go from 0-1,000 when we feel anything in our bodies. You are right. These are just NORMAL sensations. It means we're alive!

This is something I half figured out on my own and half realised from reading many many of the posts on here with people all worrying about the same symptoms

Hello Christrev,

Am glad to hear this that you are finally in charge and accepting that everyone goes through pain and sensation every now and then. You are indeed an overcomer. With these little steps that you are taking it will strengthen you more and help you worry less. Keep the good work with little steps and effort you make. It will go a long way to make big difference in your life in some time you come.
