Anxious Thoughts

Although things have been going pretty well, there are always OFF days where you don't feel like your normal self and in turn initiate anxious/uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, worries, ect. I had an anxiety attack randomly one day out of the blue, which caught me completely off guard. My day was going ok, nothing out of the ordinary when all of a sudden I get this rush that fills my mind with thoughts and instant anxiety. I was at work at the time and I simply stepped away from my desk and went for outside for a few minutes of air. Once I got over the initial anxiety I was just left with an uncomfortable feeling all day. I lost my appetite at lunch time but still ate something so I wouldn't start feeling worse from lack of food. At lunch I was able to call my mom and speak to her to help ease my mind. Got through the rest of the day without an issue. Ever since then, this happed quite a few weeks ago, I've been having up and down days. Some days I feel alright but some d...

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...

Still here! And I Promise another update is coming tomorrow or Friday for the latest!

its been quite a while, has it not? lots of stories to tell but let's recap a bit. I last left off where I had recently moved to a new state and honestly felt quite a bit lonely although I had my family around me, having friends and going out once in a while is good for you (I feel so anyway). So since my last posts I've been able to control a good majority of the anxiety/panic attacks and avoid them as best as possible. My real challenge has been with all these WEIRD thoughts that comes with the anxiety. These thoughts make you doubt yourself, worry about life, make you feel like your losing hope, and many more. I think of myself as an over-thinker because I always OVER think a situation and fill my head with negative thoughts for no reason at all because almost all of the time the outcome is fine. Of course there will be stressful times in your life but we have to learn how to combat stress in a positive way. Stress may feel worse with anxiety (for me it gets pretty bad) an...

That's probally something many of us with anxiety think about.....are we crazy? But the answer is no and I found a great article on why. http://www.anxietyguru.net/why-anxiety-disorder-does-not-mean-youre-crazy/ That clarify's things for me, hopefully it will do the same for you.

Hey all, Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with the entire move and getting the house ready so my family and I are able to move in within the next few months. My anxiety has been normal, haven't had any really bad panic attacks. The Obsessive thoughts have since calmed down after I read a few great articles online and seeking some advice on AnxietyZone. My biggest obstacle has been learning to live with it rather than trying to get rid of it since its something that doesn't just go away. The type of person I am is one that likes to take the "easy way" or shortcut my way to the finish line. Having anxiety is teaching me that not everything comes easy in life and some things take time. Learn to live and let go.

Get used to it. Start everyday as if it were on purpose and don't worry about tomorrow, you'll get to it tomorrow.
