General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

So very anxious!

My anxiety and agitation are through the roof today! Had planned to do something at a certain time today and then there was a  threat of bad weather. So, I decided to try to go out earlier. I got to train station and couldn’t locate the stupid card to pay for train so attempted to purchase a new one but the machine to do that wasn’t working. I got so frustrated that I had to go back home. Top it off, never rained later in the day but I was so wound up from the experience earlier in the day that I could not go out. I have such issues when there is a change in circumstance or plans and get very highly agitated! I know this seems stupid, but it is such a problem for me!

I always feel worried when things go wrong unexpectedly or when I get delayed before school in the morning which happens more if I'm already feeling anxious about things.

Yes, I totally understand! I have to have order and routine for everything I do. I know it drives my family bonkers, but I cannot just "go with the flow". I have to know what time everything will be happening and if it gets delayed, I can hardly function! How do you cope?

One of the things that helps my anxiety is to take control of my thoughts and to change them to something that I enjoy like a favorite poem or song lyrics. If I intention that I am not going to let it control me and I ignore the feelings and focus on changing my thoughts, then the feelings disappear and I am able to walk in courage and confidence. I find that the battle to overcome is always won in my mind first. If I can control my thoughts, then the feelings follow.
