As you all may I havn't been having a great time controlling the anxiety lately. I have been reading your posts n I feel bad because alot of ppl seem to have genuine probs they I trying to overcome. My ownly problem is the OCD worrying bout everything all the time if i didn't worry I wouldn't have a problem. Neways I wanted to make a list of the things I kno help so I can do more of them this wk.
1. Get as much sleep as i need.
2. Dont runaway from any tasks, (remember how good it feels to complete it).
3. Enjoy the company of my friends.
4. Exercise.
5. Eat properly.
6. Remember to take meds.
7. Stop using my anxiety as an excuse to give up on things.
Hopefully if I do these things my anxiety n general depression wil begin to fade.
These are some of my long term goals I'l try n keep people posted on how I get on with these.
1. Take sometime out to just be myself.
Enjoy the company of my friends and be happy to jus chill with but at the same time realise I will need to go for a walk by myself sometimes.
2. Keep my life moving forward.
Learn to drive, keep fit, start repaying some of my university debts.
3. Keep a diary of my moods n life.
Hopefully it will help balance my moods abit n remind me how even the worst mood or anxiety attack is temporary n willl fade eventually. It'l be intresting never kept a diary before.
Lately Ive been feeling my life is really going newher n Im just stagnating here, Ive also had alot of trouble jus relaxing with my friends, I hate crowded places n when thers a big group of us I always feel the need to jus go chill somwher quiet. I think every1 is thinking Ive been abit boring lately alot of ppl have told me I really dont seem myself n Im not. I feel down all the time. like permanently down. Im becoming more withdrawn into myself everyday. My thoughts are really hazy and disorientated my attention span is pretty short. All clear signs Im going through a bad patch. Its hard to put a positive spin on things even tho I do have things to look forward too and I dont have ne real problems that I cant solve. I dont know where to go from here in my life or where I want to go.
Neways Im determined not tolet anxiety ruin my life, n im gona try n make the most of the place my life is in now and do what I can to improve it.
Sorry for the little rant jus wanted to get it out the system you know.
