Hi everyone
I have had GAD for 5 years now and really feel as if i am starting to get somewhere with it..My symptoms are still very much about and i am still not going out as much as i would like but i feel my thinking on waht is going on with my symptoms etc has improved a great deal. I try not to focus on them and just get on with things.
Firstly though i often wonder what other people do that cant get out of the house much, i tend to sit and watch a lot of tv, although i am not much of a tv junkie i have a habit of monitoring myself before i even get up off of the couch to how i am feeling and how i will feel when i do something, so i know i need to change that.
Secondly i dont know why i do it, but i can feel a few symptoms but reasonably better, then all of a sudden i tend to throw in "why am i feeling better, what is going to happen now, how come one minute i can feel awful the next i feel this good" and obviously throw myself back a step, does anyone else do this? I guess i am thinking of my symptoms so much that i realise the minute i start to feel better, and when im not monitoring myself so much i will just feel better and not even notice?
Anyway just wanted to run some stuff by you all.
thanks
take care
