Positive Thinking Mood
Saturday, July 11, 2009 | A Positive story
Today I have tried very hard to stay positive. I have said good things about myself and talked about what would make me happy. I now believe that everyone has anxiety but it is how we learn to control it. Someone told me that God gives us more than we can handle. Well this  illness i suffer from is very strong.  God must also think I am very strong or I wouldnt be able to over come this. I have not yet but I am going to trust I am going to beat this illness and put it in its place. I took the first step today and although I had some anxiety with it i am back to feeling ok again. Small steps but positives steps is my goal for now. I am tired of the meds and the way some of them make me feel. They effect my sleep and when I tell the doctor they want to give me another pill so i can sleep. no way. i am done with the pills. i am staying with what i have for now and not adding anything. I was happy once withoaut meds and I will be happy again.

    Keep writing in your journal so that you can follow your progress. Don't we always remember the bad days but never think of the good ones . I' m sorry i never kept a journal when this al started, i can't remember was i ok of the meds or not and if i was i wouldn t be still on them again,but we have to stay hopeful , i mean we can do this its just the length of time it takes and re training the brain. Its a pity there s no courses we can go on . If a xanax can calm us then why can't we do what the xanax does ourselves. Do you know what i mean? Like i can be in the horrors yet i take a xanax and i'm like what was all the fuss about awhile ago , i feel super now . I couldn t understand for a long time if it was my thoughts sparking the anxiety or vice versa so i didn't know what to work on or how to . But now i know because i'm getting a grip on it slowly but surely . I had a bad panic attack in the cinema few yrs ago so avoided going or if i did i took my xanax , this time i forgot it and went in an i was perfect, sat through the movie not a bother, so i'll go now again next wk and again and again until i break that cycle . To overcome the fear we have to stare it in the face , and we might freak out but we do it again and again until we get used to it and it becomes normal . Your right about the meds . The doctors are dishing them out like sweets and they are full of toxins. What s to say there not making us more agitated . Your doing so well be proud of yourself xxx sorry for rambling on
