Losing it and stress

Thanks Davit.

I was feeling anxious and felt some dread again. I guess i didn't bury the feelings of anxiousness and dread deep enough because it surfaced up again. I just didn't pay attention to it and thought positive. I feel in lingering still as I type. I try not to think about it too much because I don't want to give power to the feeling and thought.

I hate setbacks. I thought after two weeks of good days, I got hit blind sided with a bad day today. I went for a night run and I felt better. Now, my anxiety about feeling that dread again is back. I don't want to feel that anxious dreaded feeling about my life. the past two weeks I felt myself and was real happy. Now i feel like back to square one.

Any advice? How do I bury these bad feelings for good?

How do I act normal when I feel not normal?

Losing it and stress

So what I should do when I have anxious moments again is to keep going as if they aren't there? And it will eventually diminish and fade away? Is that how we beat anxiety?

They don't last the whole day like they did before, they lasts seconds to minutes to hours. I try to challenge them and pay no attention. I'm hoping I'm doing the right thing.

I will try to work with it but its just so scary.

Thanks for all your help everyone!

FINALLY...

After two long hard days of setbacks, after two weeks of being back to myself. I feel great today.

I decided to run to get rid of the excess adrenaline and cortisol in my body the last two days and today I feel good. Now when I felt so much energy today and felt awesome, in my head I questioned if this was normal? I haven't felt this energetic and wide eyed in so long. I asked myself if it was normal.

I guess the only difference from today and the last two days was that I did the challenging of negative thoughts homework again and I finally realized, the last two days during my set back I kept thinking about why I felt off? Why do I feel weird? why is this happening again? Why has it come back? I realized that I brought it back, brought back the habit of thinking why its happening, what is happening and if I was going mad or crazy or am I sick? When all along I should've accepted it as normal. I added worry and fear again when I shouldn't have.

I keep telling myself I'm healthy, mentally and physically and anxiety is just symptoms of having too much stress and worry. Now I haven't had a panic attack because I know now hot to accept it and let it come and when I do It never does.

I feel great today and now after having my first real "weird" setbacks, I now understand that in order to be at the end of the tunnel is to ride in the train through the tunnel.

Now I just have to hope for the best and make sure that I never get caught up with the old habits or if I do learn from them and move on.

I start my job in a week and I hope it stays this way.

Losing it and stress

Thanks Ashley.

Davit: your analogy about the wind is bang on. I read when I start to feel anxious and practice my coping skills.

I was anxious today because I have had a lot on my plate lately and I try to manage my stress and not to worry as much.

Thank you. You are a true survivor and now you've helped me Beat my anxiety today:)

Normality

I had weird thing happen to me today, all the feelings of panic and anxiety, although very minimal felt absolutely normal. I think my mind recognized them as normal and went away. Is this normal??? Is this progress?

I have to go back to my old job for a few hours tomorrow to pick up some stuff and train a former coworker. I hope this exposure ends in good memories to help me overcome and give me confidence.

Normality

So I am almost done my day at my old job. so far so good.

I felt some anxiety and unease come up but paid no attention to the feeling and kept going on. Reminding myself all the things that I need to remind myself and all the CBT skills I practiced on.

I have some dread feeling maybe because I know this is not where I want to be.... that's why I left it.

But it feels good to come back to the place my panic started and leaving with confidence that it wasnt the place all along but the thoughts that I had that made me feel bad about myself for the last two months.

I now have the confidence to ride out the wave and know that nothing bad ever happened from all of my thinking, worry and anxiety....

It feels good to start the new job since I closed off this one confidently.

It´s Back..

I started my new job yesterday and today was my second day. After today, I was really disappointed in myself because for some reason, I brought back these feelings of sadness and anxiety.

I missed my kids so at work, I thought how I missed my kids and then I felt dread and uneasiness in the pit of my stomach again, that gave me a bad feeling about life in general.

Also, I was so stressed about being at work away from my kids and worrying about me being sick that while driving I started to feel panic again. I've been feeling very anxious and panic again but I'm using my CBT skills to keep it away, but I know its lingering.

How do you stop this? I try not to think about it and remind myself and challenge these thoughts by saying that I'm healthy, and everything came back normal...its all in my head. But its so hard? I had a good three weeks.

I'm also fighting a cold, so I know my body is real tired but because I feel so off I'm getting scared again? I've also had some feelings of unreality again that I hate.

Please help!

It´s Back..

Thanks Davit, I was really hoping you would reply as you have helped me the most through this. More than you know. I was feeling some anxiety earlier, dizziness, detachment and feeling off but bby using the CBT skills I learnt and because I have felt these feelings over and over again before I have accepted them as normal and they don't scare me since I have felt these before, althought feelings of depersonalization still does tend to scare me.

I compare because I always search for the normal me, the happy go lucky girl who thought she had the world. Now it's more like I take It a day at a time for nothing, although I keep reminding myself it's for my kids. My kids are my world. They make me smile all the time and they are the reason I push to be better from this anxiety.

How can I keep going when I have these setback? Any advice? How to stop all these dreaded, uneasiness feelings?

It´s Back..

I bring these feelings back by thinking about what I went through, by revisiting the memories of feeling dizzy and off in the car, by thibking in dizzy when I'm really not, by remembering all my anxiety symptoms an just by worrying about my anxiety again.

I was only diagnosed with illness anxiety, I worry too much about my health. So with this cold and other things when my body just doesn't feel right, I worry about what's happening with me? Why am I feeling this way? Why am I so off? I then bring back all the anxiety because of this.

Maybe I need to forget what happened to me, and try to bury the memory so far back that it will never come back. I changed alot of my core beliefs and am working on believing different things to help.

Maybe I need to stop remembering I have anxiety? And say to myself, I don't have it now I haven't had it for three weeks so why start over????

Maybe I need to stop over analyzing my life and just live it?
