one foot in front of the other whether its a lip or one inch its progress

I understand that feeling. It helps me to slow it down and set my mind to stay calm this second. appreciate doing it one second and encourage yourself. Hope you have a better day.

Know how you feel and can totally relate....
Pause take a step back, take a deep breath, let your mind go clear. And repeat. The anger and rage may dissipate....

I have stress and fear (no reason ) that I can figure out but the fear is real and depilitating to the point I rarely leave the house. stress is managed somewhat by drugs- clonazepam 4x/da usually 3 at once in the morning but ths fear "shakey " feeling is always there - I try extremely hard to hide it and never mention it- except on Daily Strength- where I feel safe. anyone else with similar ?

Everyone seems to encounter stress, typically daily. At this point, I've been do a little experiment on myself. I pay attention to when I start to feel the stress levels and my reactors escalate. Typically, I get the feeling of blood rushing to my head or I immediately become angry. I then remind myself to do a deep breathing exercise. It helps almost immediately due to shifting my focus to the breathing. It doesn't change the reason why I was stress, but it allows me the time to deal with it more calmly. There is always a solution. Stay the course.

I liked your advice on "staying the course"...I used to say there's always a solution as well....but it's hard to back into a positive mind-set , especially when a panic attack crops up when I feel overwhelmed and alone. . . .I will definitely try harder to be the person I want to be , instead of the train-wreck I've become !
