I am really struggling this morning. I can't seem to get my anxiety under control. I know all the tools that I need to use to get it under control I just can't seem to grab them out of my tool box. I got a stomach bug on Wends. night and am still sick whether or not it is still sickness or anxiety, I don't know. I have dry heaves because I can't bring myself to eat much. And I know that that is a problem and will only make things worse. It's like I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. I was doing ok before all of this happened now I feel like I am right back were I started from. I am not strong enough to keep on keeping on. I am so tired of dealing with this all the time. I am having negative thoughts running through my head and I hate that I am feeling like this. Sorry for ranting but thanks for reading.

When you find yourself in this loop, remember to take it moment by moment. A tiny sip of water, or on a ice cube will give your tongue some liquid which will reduce the mild dehydration your tongue senses.

Then, relax, tense all muscles and take a breath. Sometimes this will break the pattern.

Try moving gently.

Hope you feel better.

Try and take a deep breath slow down and let the symptoms do what they want.

Your body is in a heightened state, worrying about and fighting it keeps it in this state.

I know it is scary but let it happen. Let it engulf you and then you will come out the other side.

It's your resistance to it that it feeding it!

Best,

Jon

p.s. please check out Dr Clare Weekes' books or audios!
