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

Mini-Vacation weekend!

Hey everyone, Sorry about my absence around here lately. I've been extremely swamped at work with project after project and long days. I'm excited to announce that I will be going on a Mini Vacation this weekend. Taking a day or two off work and heading up to the mountains with some friends to snowboard and just generally relax! Hopefully I will get some time to blog a bit more. Quotes coming up tonight, stay tuned.

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...
