my mind seems to keep racing between anxious thoughts about just about everything this morning. had the shakes a little while ago.

i'm anxious about: work, my clothes, dental procedure coming up.

it's hard to even type.

i am supposedly a member of a 12 step program and am supposed to believe in a Higher Power to help me cope through difficult times, but at times like this i don't believe at all. i get mad at this supposed Higher Power because i don't believe he is helping me.

i have lots more than this on my mind, but can't seem to find the words to express it.

i wish i could just stay home today and read shares on here and just not have to go to work. lots of stress there which got the best of me yesterday.

today i hope to stay relaxed at work and just take it one thing at a time.

thoughts about death and how everything ends. things wear out and i don't think i can cope with that.

i need help this morning!

you have exactly the right attitude in wanting to relax and take one thing at a time. just do whatever has worked for you in the past, and remember what was taught in your 12 step plan. and, by the way, God oesn t mind if you get mad at Him. he much prefers it to being ignored! i am praying for you and your day, blessings to you an yours

Hi display - I'm having a rough morning too. Just want you to know you are not alone, and I am pulling for you. I try to remind myself that "this too shall pass." You can look back at all the things that have been scary or hard in the past that you have gotten through, and know you will get through these things too. I am inspired by your courage, and everyone else's here that faces these challenges and fears and keeps going.

You are right - one thing at a time - I will try to do the same.

I know exactly how you feel. I pray for relief and help getting through this anxious period and it seems that He's not listening. He is. But we have to help him help us. If we don't believe he can and will help us, we won't receive any relief. We all have mornings like you had. Sadly, we'll all continue to have them every now and then. Just know that we are all here for you. My morning isn't great either. But I find a quick prayer, some concentrated breathing and logging on to this site every now and then helps. Hang in there. You'll be fine!

display,

You hit the nail on the head (or the mole on the head, if we play pretend we're at the carnival,...which sounds like fun! You know,...the "Whack-A-Mole" game?)....

Er, anyhoo,...when you said you're going to deal with just one thing at a time. Best way. Jumping around leads to being scattered.

A little patience, and small steps....

display,

Your mind can think only one thought at a time.  When you focus on a thought, it displaces all others from your mind.  Focus enables you to displace unwanted thoughts.  When you focus on positive ones, the negative ones disappear.

Your on the right track dealing with one thing at a time.

Blessings,

Kitt
