My therapist said I have these issues in my second session with maybe self sabotage. I feel like I am shutting down how to I get out of this is this all I am how do I change can I do this self doubt how can I stop this. I feel like my boyfriend is feeling it I am quiet pushing away and I can stop I think he deserves better he is wonderful but I am so negative right now I can't see me being engaged and happy. I feel like I miss him and want his hugs but then with all the doubts I also feel like running.

Easy does it, Wantha. Building your awareness of what is going on gets my vote as the hardest part of recovery. The first steps are always the hardest. Be gentle with yourself and patient with the process.

In my own case, I believe overthinking and feeling helpless go hand-in-hand. I keep thinking myself into doomey, gloomey corners.

Keep venting and sorting. Your answers are in there.

It's a great thing that you have a therapist because they can see things we can't and if we are open to change for the better. I've caused myself to things that haven't occurred, or make assumptions. I'm thankful that I have a relationship with Christ and that has made a big difference in how I see myself and my circumstances. Take it one day at a time.

    Hey all. I haven't posted in awhile, but today was super weird and discouraging and maybe someone will have shared in my experience. I've been on the forum for about 7 months. My anxiety is intricately linked to chronic illness and my struggle with that. I have yet to find a proper diagnosis or see the right doc, but I am treating it as onset (after a terrible URI or Covid last Feb 2020) case...

    HelloHas anyone felt this way, that everything is going fine and then suddenly without any known triggers the anxiety creeps in. I was feeling fine and then suddenly the palpitations started again. I am trying deep breathing and relaxation excersises but it really baffles me as to why it suddenly out of nowhere attacks you. Any ideas. Thanks
