Hi everyone - Hope the new year is finding you all well.

My anxiety has been all over the place since before the holidays. I just can't seem to get a grip on it. I consistently stay panicky and just don't know why. Does anyone else have that feeling constantly?

I do some deep breathing and such, which helps briefly sometimes.

I know I've said it before, but I am SO thankful this board exists. It's nice to know I'm not just going crazy.

Hi JRF,

When our schedules get off...it can take a few days/weeks to get back to our comfortable place in our coping regimen.

If you are like me, you depend on a routine , and some consistency. With anxiety management it is nice to be able to have expectations in terms of what will happen throughout our day.

Our anxiety already challenges our sense of control, right? So, a disruption in schedule can be tough.

Give it a little time...be patient with yourself and the process...

...and keep up the good work with your coping skills! (look for more inspiration in our Resources! )

Talk soon,

S.C.

Hi JRF

Happy New Year to you all the best for 2016.

Sounds like you have had a set back they can e very frustrating but you have got through it before so you can do it again and we are here to support you.

Whenever I have a setback I throw every thing at it and find that a combination of skill learned in CBT & Schema Therapy alongside Mindfulness Meditation help me to get back on track but it's a constant battle.
