I have ho... As visualization helped you re-center ?<br />I have horrible anxiety I have always had anxiety most of my life. But in the past four years since Steve got sick with cancer, the anxiety has only increased. <br /><br /> So much so that it affects me in every way. I get anxiety about going to the grocery store, and now that the Christmas season is here I can barely bring myself to walk into stores because there are so many people everywhere. I’m not sure why my anxiety has become Paralyzing. Since the death of my husband it is just to the point of being dysfunctional. <br /><br />What has helped you the most to overcome anxiety. I’m not sure if your anxiety is as bad as mine. I need to get out and interact with people, but my anxiety keeps me from doing that. But when I have gone out with some friends I have always felt better. But it is the whol what has helped you the most to overcome anxiety. I’m not sure if your anxiety is as bad as mine. I need to get out and interact with people, but my anxiety keeps me from doing that. But when I have gone out with some friends I have always felt better. But it is the thinking snd thinking and analyzing about a few hours or that day of having to go out that will usually make me decide to cancel.<br /><br /> I refuse to get on any kind of anti-anxiety medication at this point in my life. Because I hear that the anxiety medication can be addictive and also can impair your judgment. And I need to be here for my daughter, I need to be aware and I do not need a medication to dumb me down so that I can feel a little better from this horrible anxiety . I have googled just about everything there is to how to get anxiety under control. With little success <br /><br /> I am feeling a little hopeless these days about my anxiety getting back any better. I’m not depressed at all that I feel. But the anxiety makes me feel bad about myself, I have noticed that my self esteem is not is good, I don’t feel good about myself, because I can’t do normal things that everyone else does because of this anxiety. It’s the anxiety that paralyzes me from doing things that could possibly help me move on from such Trumatic events that have taken place in my life in the past six months Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501938624874785800noreply@blogger.com
