Hello, everyone! I hope that all of you have been having a great day so far.

My life has definitely improved in the past month...I no longer feel anxiety about my thoughts, though they often return. However, the thing that has changed is my reaction to them, which is pretty much none! It's been a bit more difficult in my life, dealing with my job and now college and all, but I'm definitely getting better as time goes on.

Thank you all so much for the support that you've given me and will continue to give me. I keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers! :)

l1qu3,

So awesome to hear things are going better for you! I too have been struggling with tons of anxious thoughts (obviously since I am in this forum lol xD). I have been struggling with it for years on and off, but recently it progressed, BUT the past month or so I have been seeking help, got on some medication, and learning to recognize those crazy thoughts and change my reactions to them as well. It's a long process but it's getting easier each day. I wish you the best in the future! Thanks for sharing!

@Lilith: That's very good to know! Each day is a struggle, but I like to think of it as it making me a much stronger person in the end. I'm learning not to take life for granted, nor let this anxiety take over my life - as the kids nowadays say, YOLO! (you only live once...haha).
@SC: Thank you so much! :) I really appreciate the help you've given me and wish you the best!

l1qu3,

You posted, "My life has definitely improved in the past month" - a blue ribbon to you for dealing with your anxiety and learning how to accept it and move on through the rough spots.

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is taking a step forward when you are afraid.

Keep on taking those steps one babystep at a time.

Kindly,

Kitt
