I'm seeing a counsellor soon about my anxiety that developed in the past couple of months. I know it will likely never go away but I need some reassurance that things will get better from other people who suffer, so I can try and take to heart what the counsellor will say.
For some background I have gotten progressively more sick over the past couple of years (on top of a chronic pain issue). Individually, nothing seems to be too major but cumulatively it's taken its toll as it is getting progressively worse. However, over the past month all I can think about is getting more sick or how any little thing, from breathing a plastic smell or something, will lead to something horrible in the future. I think, because I don’t have the energy to deal with any other problems, I just can’t stop thinking about every little thing that has happened in the past and what it could do to me in the future as well as what I already have getting worse.
Does anyone have any positive stories of how they managed to get themselves out of a downward spiral, maybe some tips or things that helped (or didn't)?
Thanks for reading!
