Thank you sunshinegold

There is hope out there for anxiety suffers, If I can conquer it anyone can.

Mind you I still get anxiety more often then not these days, but I refuse to let it damper my day, or cause me to miss out on something fun.

I have anxiety over my trip tomorrow, but I know I will have a good time, I'll be with my guy... So I know that the time will fly by.

Just remember to think postive, talk to yourself if you need to and don't feel dumb about it, it will help... and you don't have to speak it out loud, say it to yourself in your mind, write down postive thoughts on paper so you can later read them whenever you need to, whenever you feel anxious.

Keep you head up, never give up...

Like i've said i've been struggling with anxiety in the last month or so, but I'm not avoiding, just keep doing what i'm doing, and because of that anxiety cannot get me, and keep me from doing things, so far so good. Hope it stays that way.

Remeber also that it's ok to step back from facing your fears, it's ok to do that when you feel too over-whelmed, but make sure you are back at it again the next day or so, go out of your comfort zone, doing your abdominal breathing, always remember to breathe, and talk to yourself, doing that will help you conquer your anxiety.



Luv you all, you guys have been great. Talk to you when I get back on Saturday or Sunday.
