 There is a part one for this thread BUT we ask that you read those posts if YOU want and then do post here on part 2

 

The thread IMHO was well taken and it explains very well how Many of us feel about anxiety and Panic and what it does do and try to do to our everyday lives...........

 

I hope you will see what I mean and if you dont want to post thats fine

I just thought the old thread was great in its descriptions of A/P

 

yeah ..........Enjoy and a Happy 2008

I've tried to come up with a description but I can't really put it any better than how you have Howlyncat, about being in a ball of snow and constantly trying to dig your way out.

I remember saying this before, but sometimes I personify anxiety as being something which leeches off me and sucks out all my optimism and happiness. I know I'm a good person and deserve happiness and yet this cruel thing smothers me and constantly whispers irrational words of doubt into my ear so much that I actually believe what it's saying. Sometimes it's like I'm possessed or something because some of the irrational thoughts which pop into my head are just so ridiculous and I don't understand how my brain could possibly think such things.

Anxiety/Panic is like trying to find a needle in a haystack---

the needle being "normality" (is that a word?)  or happiness/comfort/confidence/no guilt --and the haystack--well, all of the feelings that anxiety/panic make me feel---I KNOW that normality is in there somewhere---I AM gonna find it---it's just sometimes, it's exhausting trying to find the darn thing----:)

Anxiety and Panic are like a panther, they sneak up on you when you think you are ok.............and then they pounce.

The old POUNCING PANTHER.........very good lil sis and spot on

Anxiety /Panic can be your friend IF you use it to further self ........for instance IF I am angry and have a/p with it I will be more apt to get something that needed DONE ..done and done better in that mode than if in a mode of quiet and calm........

Anxiety is waiting to go to the oral surgeon today and have a wisdom tooth extracted, you cannot eat or drink, you just have to wait and the anxiety is just niggling at the back of your neck, wanting to go into a full blown panic attack..............you get your whip and keep it bay.

You come to HW and get into helping others. That is me today.

Anxiety is like being frozen in time, you do not know which way to turn or who to turn to.  How can anyone make you better?  The tears of sadness that flow because you feel so abnormal are gut wrenching and you wonder if they will ever quit?

Next up.............your all doing a great job.

I recognize that face and promise you will never give up hope as it is hope that keeps us going and believing that we will get throught the darkness and into the light.

Anxiety is pent up steam without a release valve. It's itching to get out, but if it does it will wreck havock on anything within striking distance.

Anxiety is worrying about what people think of you

Anxiety is tears of sadness and frustration

Anxiety is feeling out of control

Anxiety is isolation, no one wants to be with an anxious person.

Anxiety is being called nervous

Anxiety is extreme jumpiness, and sleep difficulties.

Anxiety sucks.

I do not want to be anxious anymore.

I want to feel happy and know people accept me.

Posted 3/15/2008 10:06 PM (GMT 0)
Anxiety is wishing I could convince you that you are needed and accepted...loved and admired .....

ANXIETY is my family ALL thinking they knew what was best for dad just because I was sick and using the fact I am not his Bio daughter... my sister is ....

Anxiety is knowing I am going to be facing a really few rough and sad days ahead as well with Mom's passin anni and all the memories that date brings back to me .........

Anxiety is having to hold your daughter while she shakes crying about her poppa....not being able to do anything other than hold her.....

Trusting is believing in Big Sis.  Hope is never giving up. Anxiety is a word that starts with the letter A.

Amen.
