Hi Julie that is so beautiful. I have suffered myself from anxiety in the past d the thing is even if it seems awful at the time, it actually does not harm us, so you are right to do something nice and relaxing. I found when my Depression improved my anxiety virtually disappeared too. So just do nice things for yourself.

Oh anxiety, my old friend, here you are to torture me again. It started when I was In my late 20's. I was so embarrassed by it that I hid it from everyone but my husband. So I placed that added burden on myself. I ended up afraid to go out, I was afraid to be in a car, my spaces became more and more limited. I saw Doctors, attended group therapy, and eventually was put on Valium and saw a psychotherapist. That's when things started to turn around. It didn't go away, but I could bear it. By this time I knew it wouldn't kill me, and it would only last so long, and I learned to walk on jelly legs. The thing is you have to face it, you have to be able to say okay do your worst. It will lose it's power over you eventually. You have to do this many times and sometimes after you think it's gone it will try to sneak in again. You just remind it who is in charge. It is of course you fighting your own fears,but I always thought of it as the enemy and I wasn't giving up any more of my life to it. I hope this helps a little, I know how much you want it to go away. You have to do this for yourself. Pam
