morning all. hope that the bank holiday is treating you well.

my anxious mind tells me that i should know the answer to every problem in my life and know why i am feeling a little anxious. this is a problem in itself and i think if i just keep on living my life then some things do tend to fade away. of course some do not i know that. but picking at wounds does not let the scabs do their work.

anyway, i tend to write everything down thats bothering me. i do it in a certain fashion that suits me and ive got used to doing it in sections about my life. fears/ill feelings/etc

i then read it out loud to a trusted friend or advisor. for some reason just speaking it alone or thinking about it alone just isnt the same.

i find that when i do this on a regular basis i feel much better. the difficult thing is getting in the habit and finding someone that you can trust and who is willing to help.

doing this has changed the way i feel and i now tend to start getting anxious when i dont do it! how things change.

living life and enjoying it. many thanks for tuning in

Well done Steve, it can be done, we all find our own way of dealing with our 'problems', and it seems like you have found yours.
Congratulations!
