What is the cause of your worry? Maybe try and talk about this with a counselor, maybe start a journal and try to find if there is one specific thing that is worrying you. Maybe try to incorporate something positive for something that worries you. Maybe a reward system like one day without any worries and you can have a small chocolate bar or you could put aside a couple of dollars for a movie ticket on days without any worries...give yourself a reward system for not worrying and that might help, but also speak with a counselor as that's always better...Hope this can help...Many well wishes and keep us posted as we do care.

I think you need to learn deep breathing too. Besides talking to your counselor. That is in through the nose and out through the mouth. It is called "smelling the roses, and blowing out the candles". And it really helps. It brings your anxiety level down and it gives you more control over how you are feeling. Meditation helps and keeps you in control. Staying mindful helps too. It keeps you from thinking about the things that make you anxious.

Keep trying. I am glad that you posted, it helps.

Hugs, Karen
