This is my first time doing something like this, but I really felt like I needed to get this stuff off my chest. I have had anxiety for about 10 years now. At first it was something very scary, I had to go to the hospital because I didn’t know what was happening. I was put on medication and eventually I actually started doing ok and coping with it, it even felt like it went away. However, after a couple of years it came back and man did that suck! It’s been about four years and it’s been a bit of up and downs. Every time I think I’m making progress it’s like I get slapped back down. I started meditating and wow did it really help, I was really feeling more present. Then after I went walking my mind went to a negative place, like something bad was going to happen, because it had been good for too long I guess.. any way not long after I had a full-blown anxiety attack and it was like all the progress I had made went down the drain. I reverted back all my previous fears and worries… Any tips on how to cope I’m open to it..
My first time..

First time I’ve ever done any of this too..been anxious all of my life..tried everything I’m sure..it’s a journey and part of who you are..make friends with it is the quickest way..youre on the right path with meditation..i know its hard but you must love all of yourself (as they say)…no apologies..someone mentioned Claire Weekes? Gabor Mate? I’m old..just my thoughts..my hearts with you
Writing it down can get it out of inside of you. It’s a tool therapists use. But i don’t know at what point in the treatment this phase is. I think it takes the power out of it. Keep working at it. It is inevitable to struggle, take a step back. But the darkness doesn’t usually stay as you activate the hope in you … and encouragement from others. It’s late – I’m going to sleep. Good night.
