Mental Anxiety

As I continue my journey with anxiety, I feel strongly that much of my physical anxiety symptoms are controllable whilst my mental anxiety flares up at any given time. I can't put my finger on why at times I have such a negative state of mind that sends me into instant panic/worry.

I've been slowly reading my Anxiety and Phobia workbook which helps put many different things into perspective. This negative state of mind is called Self talk. Its the "What If.." statements that help trigger the panic/anxious state of mind. The book is supposed to show you how to change this self talk and how to promote a better lifestyle. Changing my lifestyle around to help calm this state of mind will help me get through this, it just takes time.. I am glad I have the opportunity to move, despite not wanting to leave my friends behind because they help get my mind off things when I am feeling down. I am going to use this opportunity to start fresh and work towards further conquering my anxiety.

I can easily say that this is probably one of the toughest things I've had to face in my life. It is the scariest thing I've delt with. It sometimes makes me feel horrible and want to give up but I NEED to keep PUSHING on past this stage of fear and worry.

Leaving off on a positive note with a quote that fits this post well.

"Thoughts are just thoughts."

Loneliness

So My Saturday night was pretty boring. I didn't mind staying home but now I've got to deal with this anxiety/loneliness feeling. I was sitting in my bed, just finished watching Prince Of Persia (good movie btw) and all of a sudden I get this feeling of Loneliness and my mind starts racing with thoughts of me being lonely for the rest of my life. I get scared/nervous, best way to describe the feeling is to imagine having butterflies in your stomach but your mind racing at the same time. It wasn't quite a full anxiety attack as it rushed past me but it still lingers. This has happened before and something I read said just take life one day at a time and not think of the future. Usually that is how I like to think of things, but I feel it has to do with that I have a lot of things on my plate, plus today was generally pretty boring. I did nothing all day except when i went out to the golfing range for an hour. I will be moving out of state at the end of the year, which coul...

Depersonalization

Depersonalization, What is it? From a medical standpoint, Depersonalization (or depersonalisation ) is an anomaly of the mechanism by which an individual has self-awareness. It is a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation.Sufferers feel they have changed, and the world has become less real, vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. Thats quite a harsh definition in my own opinion. In my own words, Depersonalization is a feeling (just a FEELING ) of things not looking/seeming the same. Now I don't want to get into things not seeming real because I know that they are real, to me they just seem different in a way thats hard to explain. Obviously once you think they seem different then you trigger your mind to start wandering which will start triggering some anxiety. But I can think back to even before I started having anxiety that at times I'd say things seem to look a little different which prompted me to do a little more digging. I c...
