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 have found since my anxiety started that little things I use to do to prepare my self for somthing in the future have started to control my life.
ie: I usually pick out what I'm going to wear the next day to work. Now if I don't do it, I will lay and bed and have a panic attack and feel my heart beat of of my chest if I don't do it.
ie: I've been paying my visa online everytime I after I use it - eventhough it is not due for a month?
Anyone feel the same? Anysuggestions?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Think of the worst case scenario....what would be the worst thing that could happen as a result of not prepare your stuff the night before?
Then think...can I really be scared of that?
Anyway, one thing I learned that has helped me mentally process things is thinking of things in 'investment' terms. ie: Picking out your clothes might be a $0.25 issue and you might be giving it a $100.00 reaction by having an anxiety attack about it. So, realizing it's a $0.25 issue, give it a $0.25 reaction... does that make sense? I'm not making much sense maybe. It's helped me to try to think of things that way... to be conscious about my reactions to things and whether or not the merit it. Because sometimes, feeling sad or anxious is warranted to a certain degree... they are feelings that are healthy for us... repressing feelings isn't helpful. But obviously we're here because these things (depression, anxiety) get out of control.
Yeah, I don't have this down, still working on it for myself but I thought I would throw in my "two cents" :)
