My First Anxiety Workbook

Decided to stop by Barnes and Nobles on my way home this afternoon to pickup an anxiety workbook. After reading through quite a few different book reviews online, I decided to go with The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, Fifth Edition by Edmund J. Bourne.


Many others with anxiety/panic and specific phobias have said this book has been extremely helpful, you may find many reviews on the fourth edition but the fifth edition was recently release which added two new chapters. Will report back on my progress as I go through the book.

Goodnight

Keep It Moving

Decided to write something about an experience I had this past Saturday. I had a pretty easy Friday at work, it was pretty quite. Friday night I spent at home relaxing, went out to grab some food with a few buddies around 10PM and came back home to hit the bed. Woke up around 9:30AM (Overslept a bit) and did my normal morning routine. Had to visit a client and install some software at around 11:30 so I prepped for that and left my house. Got to the clients location everything went smooth, finished up there around 12:15P and left as I had another job lined up and their location was closing at 1. I must have drove about 5 miles or so and came to a stoplight with light traffic and the light was red. As I'm listening to music and enjoying the scenery all of a sudden I start feeling "weird" and think to myself "this doesn't feel normal" but I realized what was going on. There it was anxiety popping its ugly head up again and I start thinking about what just h...

Its Friday

Got through the rest of my week pretty good, despite being semi swamped at work these last two days. So I'm sitting here on a Friday night kinda wondering if I should go out or stay in and watch a movie. My nose is stuffy and in the back of my mind I'm like great I feel like I'm getting sick so naturally i start thinking about being sick. Of course this brings on some thought of anxiety but a buddy of mine called and asked to hang out so I said sure, might as well get out the house for a little bit, clear my head. I've been noticing as things get better with my anxiety, from time to time I will take a step back and say wait everything is going smooth.... are things supposed to be so smooth? Its like I'm sometimes on alert just waiting for the next anxiety attack to happen and I think that can bring on actual anxiety. I let these thoughts jumble up in my head for no apparent reason... Not going to get into detail on this tonight as I'm heading out for a littl...

Past weekend

As I try to figure out what to write, I'm trying to remember what I did this past Friday night since I last posted on my blog. I cannot remember, does anxiety make you forgetful? Sometimes I feel a little clumsy/forgetful. Anyway Saturday I spent hanging out with an old friend. We had a pretty good time catching up and remembering old memories, headed home to get some much needed sleep. Sunday stayed home mostly all day, bumming around the house. Went to a friends house to catch the Colts vs Giants game........wow, the giants were bad. I left at half-time because I couldn't take it anymore and I'm not even a big giants fan!! Monday I was supposed to work but my boss told me not to come in since It was already late and I was stuck at home waiting for the rental car company to pick me up, so I enjoyed a day off and got a chance to start on a new book. Currently I'm reading a book called "Rework" by a company called 37Signals, pretty good book so far. The book ...
