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."

Thursday Morning Blues

Woke up this morning feeling a little anxious for no reason. Woke up around 1AM to use the bathroom and felt this way but I quickly went back to sleep. So i got up this morning, drank some tea (Chamomile) to help me relax and started browsing the web to help take my mind off things. Work so far is pretty slow which is good but I wouldn't mind it getting a little busy, that helps me focus on work more and less anxiety. Got some light music going in the background and I'm going to start reading shortly. Figure I'd write about it, So long.

Some Changes

Just a quick Update, I changed the look a little bit to accommodate the winter/holiday season. I've also added a links section on the right column. Those are links to websites I've come across relating to anxiety and panic that offer some great advice. I will post new sites whenever I come across some that I like. Oh And I'm now on twitter, I've added a feed to the right. PS. If you look above I've also added some animated fish just for fun!

Here we go once again!

Hello all, I'm back and yes its been quite some time. I do apologize for the lack of updates! My last update I had just began a new job and came back from an amazing trip to Northern California. Since then I've been exploring the beautiful South West and having a great time doing so! My friends out here are pretty cool and we all enjoy the same sort of things. Not sure If I mentioned this but I picked up some after work activities, whether is just going for a walk/bike ride, working on my car, swimming, or simply hanging out with my friends. I find when I keep myself busy I think less about anxiety and more about living my life. I haven't had a really bad attack in quite a while (trying to stay strong), and I am glad. This morning was a little tough. I'm taking a small 4 day vacation to Southern California to enjoy the whether and attend a local car show (my car is still not fixed, more on that another time) with my friends. I've been excited for this all week b...
