those better days...where anxiety is mild or seems non existent, u feel good....i guess u'd enjoy the moment and that gives hope of a recovery too...

i hv that on and off moments too and enjoy them.... but earlier i was like...some irrational obsessing popped up...oh this is a 'change' (even tho its a positive one)..what if i get use to this positive feeling..and suddenly i get anxiety or panic again and i "forgot" those coping tools/relaxation technique that i read up so often everyday whole going thru anxiety phase .... then i felt a headache coming after that...how silly. rolleyes

how do u continue to enjoy a positive change/phase without having some irrational thots bugging/worrying u??

p.s. i feel silly writing abt this. just wanna enjoy the moment/any positive change.  

coz we don't even know when the next anxiety might come...or better still, don't come again, 1 way ticket and don't  come back ever smilewinkgrin ok thats abit unrealistic eyes

I do this too and it isn't silly. There are days where I feel real good and I think, I fee too good. Like somethng is going to happen because I feel so good. Now that sounds stupid.

As far as your thoughts go, you can control some, most you just have to acknowledge and accept. I challenge my toughts sometimes. If I get a thought that makes me feel anxious I challange the thought asking myself if it is real. A better way to put it, if I am think that I'm dying, I ask myself "how do you know?" I question the irrational thought to disprove it and thatseems to help alot.

Just so you know, it takes alot of practice. It works alot of the time. Sometimes your body just wantsto have a P/A episode and you just have to weather the storm. Take heart knowing every attak you make it through makes you stronger.

Good Morning,

Here is a thread you may want to read through.  Remember to enjoy each good moment without worrying about when the next bout of anxiety will come back.  Most of us are up and down so stay in the moment and try not to get stuck in the "what ifs" .
