hey stop beating yourself up, you can do it, I did. It's an old cliche but you gotta start seeing positives, makeoing negatives postive, look at the world with new eyes, she is a beautifull place if only we take the time to stop and smell the flowers. I am not being condicending, its how i fought and won the battle. Im sure you can as well

I've been meaning to answer this post as the title keeps jumping out at me.

Hun I totally know what you mean - if you can let it all go for a little while and stop trying. It's the very act of trying too hard sometimes that can put even more pressure on us, which then leads to increased anxiety.

Work out some little treats for yourself and rewards for achieving and working towards things you find difficult.

Try getting some affirmation cards and say the affirmations to yourself regularly - I honestly believe if we can replace the negative things we say to ourselves with positive stuff eventually this takes effect. It stands to reason really doesnt it.

Have a look on www.holisticshop.co.uk at Louise Hay's cards called I can do it or Wisdom cards. They will be under divinations cards and then Inner development cards.
