Living with anxiety

I started writing this a couple of days ago. I feel the push to finish it, though right

now I am doing pretty well. A couple days ago I felt extreme anxiety - I couldn't let go.

I felt under attack. I went to work and just focused on work and knew at this point my actions

were about survival. As I "got into" work, I lost awareness of the anxiety - it subsided - and my overall

'amped up' sense of enthusiasm of work replaced it. It was a good lesson for me.

I also had recalled that my doctors had suggested that each day - as they knew I had extreme anxiety -

they said that each day I should exercise to a point of breathlessness for about 10 or 20 minutes or so.

I didn't really understand what they meant - at least I didn't put their prescription into practice -

I tried but I kind of didn't get it...For me, this is what worked... "getting into" work - and feeling

the fear to deal with the very basic need to survive by working. My mind shifts around a lot

but I am feeling like some lessons are coming through to me and I can better reassert a sense

of equilibrium because of it. I hope if you experience extreme anxiety, that you find your way

of handling it... sending peace and good mojo. M
