This is actually all quite true and applicable to some aspects of things, but a lot of what I am complaining about is more about issues affecting my quality of life that are not necessarily tied to my anxiety. Like, getting lost in places I have been so many times, brain fog, problems paying attention and recalling anything I have learned or that I have met people. They said I don't seem to have attention problems from the test, but in daily life I feel like I do and several people in my family have ADHD. I am frustrated because I have at the moment run out of things to work on in therapy and based on a discussion with my therapist was going to take a break, but now I am being told I should do more therapy for anxiety to help these perceived cognitive issues.

Okay enough of that rant, sorry just frustrated. On a more positive note I am going to work on getting back into being more physically active. It does wonders for all my issues, and while I have some physical limitations I know I am not doing as much as I could. That and eating better. Speaking of which I am super hungry and going to get some food. That should probably help my mood, too.

Hope everyone has a good night!
I am very happy that your Neuropsych came back ok and no problems but then to be told " go back to therapy" would really be upsetting.. Have you ever been able to use Mindfulness for anxiety?? I use to be able to use that and it really helped at times with anxiety and Panic... but I just cant get there right now, I do need to work with my T to help me refocus and do it effectively again.. I dont know if something like that would be helpful..

Hope you found something yummy to eat
