Anxiety over progressive recovery

Things are going great in my life. Im happy. Cheerful colleagues at work, a loving family, good friends, a simple joyous life. All the things i ever wanted and thought would never get, not even my best dreams. Its scary. Feel like a trap door will open anytime and i wall fall back to the same inescapable hell thats waiting for me. Its so terrifying. I still remember what hell feels like. Familiar with every nook and corner of it. I still get flashbacks of not so past life, everyday and night. Can any one relate? Is this an early recovery symptom? The feeling of dread that arises with incoming stability and happiness. What do i do.

I think a lot of us with anxiety are hardwired up with the old negative thinking patterns, and the proverbial 'waiting for the other shoe to drop'...even as things are going very well for us. I have read many posts similar to yours...and have experienced the same myself.

Use your Positive Mantras and Therapy Worksheets to disarm these worrisome thoughts. They are simply products of your anxiety...and can be managed well with these tools.

Peace and progress!
