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...

Letting Go and Moving on

So I fired my doc today. Its a relief knowing I'm finally going to get a doc that doesn't call out every few days or so. I still say if my doc had her priorities straight, I wouldn't have to be finding a new doc. It's just the frustration of my psyc doc letting me down every chance she got. It feels weird not having that security net under me. I know those shoes will be filled soon enough. But damn it's scary being out here on my own with no doc. I have plenty of meds to get me through this period. But then all the bad thoughts come creeping in. Like what if I don't find a doc in time and I run out of meds? Or what if I can't find a doc in my network? What if they say I don't need meds anymore, when I know I do? It's not a full on panic mode....but it's got my anxiety up a bit. I'm starting to get tired of being a slave to my anxiety. But right now.......I would rather have anxiety then a bad doc that can't do her work. I'm glad I'm getting a new doc. Maybe this one will help more then the other one. Who knows what might happen.


Hope everyone is doing well, and staying safe out there. Remember there is always someone out there that cares, even when you think there isn't. You may be a stranger but your a human being, and I care a great deal. Be blessed my friends.

You made a big move. It's normal for your anxiety to be a bit elevated during this time. Allow yourself to feel it, not fear it. You'll find another doc, and if they're worth anything they won't just stop your meds like that. You made a power move for yourself. Be proud.

I understand completely--but sometimes you have to "clean house" and only keep the things that work for you. I fired my therapist 2 weeks ago and I was getting nervous, like you--but tonight I found someone new--and am just hoping it leads to positive growth. when you have to stress about the people who are supposed to be helping you with your mental health--that's stress you don't need!

My strictly personal "What Iffery" tends to be so negative that I remind myself often that a positive outcome is just as likely as a negative outcome. My bookie assures me that is so. She has even offered the mathematical proof by running the odds for me.

What if this bold move allows the healing mysteries to lead you to precisely where you need to be? What if healing happens?

Fact is, we don't get to know the future. Gentle support while you continue your healing journey, wherever it may lead you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
