"I want" instead of..

Thank you. It is all about control isn't it. This is what gets you above coping and on your way to cure. Who has the bigger stick, you or anxiety. Coping skills are still important for those days when you are so tired it seems to be winning. "I want to" is just one way of telling it to get lost, you will find other ways to build on this. Other positive thoughts to replace the negative ones.
I must tell Juanita it worked for you, she will be pleased, it worked for her to cross bridges and gave her freedom in other situations.

I went to Grocery store today and got enough groceries for a week. Thanks to another member on this board for the wise words of "I want" instead of the negative thoughts I was thinking. If not for those profound words that I put in my head last night and this morning. Instead of thinking about the what ifs, I used "I want to go to the grocery store. Success!!! Thanks to Davit for the impact.
