I Have Anxiety

It’s still there somewhere, just waiting for a time when I’m vulnerable to it. I’ve been feeling OK for almost two weeks now. But I still don’t really trust my mind to stay in a good place. I’m sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The longer you stay in your good place the less you'll worry about the other shoe dropping. Hopefully you mind will get so used to that good place, it will totally forget about the other one.

@rckt148 It is sometimes easier said than done, especially late at night or early in the morning when our guard is down, but kudos to you for managing to do that. 👏

Philippians 4:8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
8 Finally, [a]believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].

@diablesse Well, unfortunately, I didn’t stay in the good place. The anxiety and crazy feelings came back.

But it’s not as bad as before (so far....fingers crossed.) And I’m trying to tell myself that it’s OK to have these feelings; and that all they are is feelings, and feelings tend to come and go.

If everything is going great, you have obviously overlooked something....or perhaps things are just going well. Hopefully the latter.

Glad you have been feeling better I hope it does last some time.

I know.
I know what that's like.
Even when you are feeling ok you aren't because you know it's coming back. That lion in the dark. Stalking, hunting, preying on us with no where to run. You can't see it but you know it's there...watching.

I used to do that ,,it was like I set myself up for a fall
When I started controlling the things I allowed myself to think ,the things I listened to and watched
Got off caffeine
I found I had less bad days ,,then soon they were rare
I haven't had a crippling day where I didn't get out of bed for days or any kind of anxiety attack in years

And I was able to get off all the meds the VA had me on that only made me want to sleep

I have a friend that goes out to a Waffle House for something to eat ,,the rest of the time he sleeps
I could not live only living to sleep

I so relate. Sometimes I feel good and my mood is ruined when I realize the mood will end.

Have you ever thought about talking to some one. I’m the same.
