I proved something today regarding my anxiety..!

[reddevil]

I have come down with a cold and I have been feeling unwell all day.

Just sitting here thinking (at the end of the day) and I was surprised that I have not thought at all today about my other anxiety symptoms (belly ache, back ache, mouth, headache and frequent urination).

So by having this cold, it has proven quite a lot to me today about how anxiety controls our minds and with distraction it can be done.

I suppose when the cold has gone, my mind will re-focus on symptoms but it's been an experience today feeling symptom free (apart from the cold).
It also proves how nice it would be to live a normal life like non anxiety sufferers.

u know i was the same when i had toothache - all the other usual anxiety symptoms were gone - my focus was distracted - just goes to show how much our minds make us more anxious

........life is for living not just for surviving
