Can relaxing be unpleasant? There are couple of things i do that they made me anxious. I play wind instrument, and now when i play with full concentration and relaxed , i feel strange feelings in head, on the spots where i feel anxiety (where i feel tension).
Is it possible that now, when i do almost everything good, i am not use to it and i feel that strange feelings?

Try not to overthink things and just be in the moment.  Play for the sake of enjoyment and do not try to analyze how it makes you feel but listen to the music.

Kindly,

Kitt

I have read some of your post and what I see happening is you are too focused on the things that make you nervous. I understand it is not easy to break cycles and habits....if you want to improve and feel better, you will need to find a method that works for you to get your mind off your body sensations and focus on the good things in your life and things that are all around you. At minimum, try to add a lot more positive thoughts to your day...everyday, the key is to change your thoughts and focus...it takes work and without the effort...it will not improve.
Good luck and best wishes.

I agree Benny!  I tend to be inter-focused (right way of saying it?)  Too focused on what's going on with me and inside of me.  This sometimes makes me feel schitzo....god, I can't think today, and am usually a good speller.   Anyway, I need to get out of my house because I've been here, sick all weekend, alone, and need to get out of my mind and see some human interaction.  I originally came to the boards for Crohn's help (not dx yet, but have the symptoms), but also have issues with anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and major depression with psychosis.  I always think I'm the reason I'm sick, like I've done something to deserve the punishment.  God, that feels awful!

Well wishes.....

That is so great mama that you feel like you need to get out and interact....go out and feel the air (hopefully not too muggy or hot where you are)...hear the birds, you know sometimes just leaning to appreciate and find comfort in the simple things in life can be an incredible building stone to create a great foundation for recovery and getting back to enjoying life.....stay strong, you can do this!!!
Best wishes for you......Benny
