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...
My hubby and went out to lunch and then took in a movie today. We went to eat at Colton's Steak House and then out to see The Help at the movie. Coupon for dinner....2 lunch entrees for $12.99. Movie Matinee price was 2 for $15.00. Feeing no anxiety all day long...priceless!
Both eating out and going to a movie can be triggers for me days before we even go and I haven't had any at all. In fact, I had looked forward to it. Tonight as I was sitting out on the deck, I was very aware that I not only hadn't felt anxiety but also had an absolute great time laughing and spending time with my hubby.
I'm sure going back into therapy a week ago has helped. I have shared before that I have chosen not to take meds. I have been taking B complex vitamins and B12 for about 2 weeks also. I wonder if the B vitamins are part of why I've been feeling so much better.
Anyway, I wanted to share where I'm at today! I hope there are others here who are fidning some relief from the anxiety, as I am.

Hello- I am new to the group

My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
For some people, it takes a combination of therapy, improved diet, and regular soothing exercise to help relax the tensed muscles.
Best wishes!

That is really inspiring. It sounds great and it is so nice that you were able to just have a really good time with your husband without anxiety hovering.
So glad you found something that work, and could enjoy yourself this weekend. A day out without anxiety is always a good thing.
