FrankAllenson,This is a post I wrote in 2008 to another member and rereading it as I look back I realize we all have the power within to deal with our anxiety.
"I am so sorry sweetie, I know that feeling well. I can be fine for a week and one morning I wake up and I just start to cry from anxiety of not knowing what to do. It is like being weighted down in cement.
I will usually get up, always get dressed and make my bed and then come to the puter and try to post. Sometimes I sit here posting with tears running down my face and no one knows. It makes me feel so lonely and I start with the anticipatory anxiety...........will I never be better...........YES, I will and I have learned that all the meds and therapy are great but in the end it is me that has to fight the battle and fight it I do.
Talking usually helps. Share your feelings with friends, family, on here are all good ways to work through the anxiety. I have one friend I can call but I really try to save her for the bad days.
Unless people understand anxiety, they don't get how you can have good days and for no identifiable reason have a melt down.
I have given up on trying to identify what triggered it as that just notches up the anxiety.
Just let yourself be today and try to just stay in the moment. Yesterday was good, great but don't mourn that good day.............you have many more good days coming your way.
Just believe my sweet friend. I am right here for you.
Abundant Blessings to you
Kitt"
Frank, I hope this old post helps you see that we can move on and we do. These words help another member long ago and now I hope they help you.
