Bad Anxiety

I am still having bad anxiety. I am so scared of so many things. I am scared most of my own death. But I also fear other things; like getting fired at my job for not learning the job fast enough since I just started working there about 1 1/2 months ago. I actually kind of like working there but i'm scared that my boss doesn't like that i'm taking longer to train in. I'm also scared of other things like what nightmare will I have next. I am always having nightmares at night. I haven't had a good dream in quite a while. Sometimes I am nervous to go to bed because of my bad nightmares.

My dear friend,

I am so sorry that you are suffering from so many fears and I can relate. It is so hard to go through life always being afraid and anxious. I wonder if you can\'t get some Xanax for this since it is by far the most effective for this type of anxiety.

I also hope that your therapist is working on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which teaches the practice of staying in the moment and trying to not \"forward think\" of all the \"what if\'s\". For people like us, this is very dangerous thinking and when you think about it, the worry isn\'t going to change the future. I know, easier said then done, but it does help me and I practice it everyday.

I also hope you look into EMDR therapy for the nightmares. It worked wonders for me, and may be helpful to you as well. I just pray that you find some relief for all these anxious thoughts since it is hard to function as we can get paralyzed with fear.

My prayer\'s are with you.

Hugss and lovess
Sandy

fear again ....can draw ..the negative to you .....so for example ..the more you fear of failing to do somthing ..learning somthing fast enough like you say about your work it will actualy becom harder for you to learn faster and you will learn slower because ..your mind is not entirely focused ..on what you are trying to learn ...a big part of your mind is working against you ....you can try to breath ...and tell your self I can do this ..I will do this ..I am doing this ..and when you feel the need to take a deap breath do that ....with practice ...being positive this can help you ..draw more positive energies to you ..and more of your mind will be working on what you are wanting to learn and so you will eather learn it faster and retain more ...........take care ...God bless .....
