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...
Anxiousness and Nervousness has set in. It's always been here. So much to do on my "to do list". What to do? I gotta get mentally prepared. No..I don't think that's a good idea.

Here's a step process to help you sort through the pattern of thought with the journal entries. (yes, making a "to-do" list counts as a journal entry)-look at the items and what is required to complete them - and on the side, note the thought that comes first for each of them. Once you get that on track, your lists will be more easier to pick up and walk to finish line. Take the time to mark off what you finish, too. The sense of accomplishment will lift your spirits the next time you are stuck on a particular list item. Best wishes!
