Anxiety and POSITIVE CHOICES Community Group
Learn the skills to conquer overwhelming anxiety from physical to emotional coping. We can choose how we feel and think, you just have to be willing to make those changes and commit to them.
I heard about a friend's husband who went to the hospital last night with chest pains. Usually, that can start me body scanning...actually, I did this time, too.
I decided to journal all the successful medical interventions I've heard about instead of worrying about having a heart attack.
For instance, my dad had a heart attack at 52 and lived 25 more years!
I had toxemia/pre-eclampsia during childbirth 23 years ago and the doctors saved me!
My mother in-law has been saved twice with blood transfusions after having bleeding ulcers!
A young girl from my church is still alive 15 years after having Hodgkins disease and and bone marrow transplant!
Miracles happen every day yet I have been focusing on the negative and scary instead of the miracles.
I realize that I worry about the disease and not the cure. Everyday people are saved in ER's and doctor's offices. I think I am going to try to remind myself of the positive things in medicine rather than the dramatic deaths.

Afterwards did you ever go through a stage of being afraid of it happening again or did it help you not be anxious since they saved you?

There are definitely miracles out there.
Dang and your family has a list to prove them!
I am lucky to be here 4 times over...woohoooo! I can tell you 2 of them were bad accidents.
Ya know?... There are angels among us..:)
It doesn't make sense to me.
no, it does not make good sense to me, but we let it happen to us.
i for one will speak for me, i get upset at news reports, health reports,
then i get to thinking, what if???
now, that what if, is what gets me!
then i let that go on to, it could be, then to i think its me. and so forth..
then when i go to bed, this is on my subcounsiuos mind and dwells there, then it can tun into anxeity!
so i feel i let this happen weather iam aware of it or not...
just my own assumtion...

I believe the miracles and cures are shown to us..as a reminder that you to can be cured. It is a foundation many people choose to put their hope in.
If you have hope in the cure....you just may see the miracle! All we can do is do the best we can.
I am finding out more and more...just how many different things lead me to my anxiety. Conquering each fear, worry..etc. just takes recogniton and practice.
Today i am saying to myself ."I am not owning this" So each time it creeps in.. i recognize it for what it is, and then try to let that go and do what is needed for me.
Hope that has helped?
:O)
