Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
For me, I actually died from a medical procedure gone wrong. I think about how peaceful I felt. I don’t fear death, I think what my goal is to achieve a peaceful way of living because there has been so much turmoil in my life.
You can also try setting an hour aside for worry time, writing all your fears and thoughts and then go back and try to resolve problems and address each thought. It takes some training to get yourself to the point where you can put aside all worries to a specific time, but you will find that many worries have already been addressed and the ones that need to be analyzed and addresses. I hope you feel better soon.
Every case of anxiety is unique, Magic, and the tools will work a bit differently for each of us and vary even more for the circumstances life keeps throwing at us. Customize, customize, customize. . .
Keep sorting. Your own, strictly personal answers are in there.
Continued support while you sort.
Your life experience gives you a specific perspective in which to surround yourself with, choosing the positive direction is up to you, in the moment.
The help, support, encouragement, and understanding that everyone provides is available to all.
Finding what works, comes from your work!
Best wishes.
Can drive you and everyone around you crazy if you suck them in, which I do, of course, to seek reassurance...
But yea, too much advice, I’m learning, is too much.
I’m having to find what works for me and it’s sometimes minute by minute...
I think the death thing is how you look at spirituality, which I don’t have a grasp on yet either...
Sometimes, just looking at someone else writing they feel the same way helps calm me down..
Going to dr. On Monday though to see about medication...
I’m willing to try almost anything at this point...I want to say something inspirational but I know it can all seem like bs after awhile so I’ll just say..
Take care and ✌️
