Hi JuJu

what is your secret to overcoming it x

[juju]

hi bab
no secret for overcoming it, just not being afraid of any of the symptoms,and not telling myself that its anything else.
the cure is in the doing as hard as it is.
it was a long and weary uphill struggle, but worth it
take care
juju :D

Hi JuJu,

Yes, I agree we can overcome this even if takes a long time!

I am certainly not as bad as I was but I'm of the opinion that self-belief that helps you on your way. That may seem impossible to many people here, and I felt like that a while back.

In fact, I became inactive on this site because I did not want to get 'swamped' by things to do with my anxiety in my everyday life.

I get tired and depressed, have bouts of little sleep, but at least I feel more confident to get out and about now. It takes a long time and am optimistic that I will eventually be able to do all that gardening!

[juju]

yes i def believe in self belief, if we havent got that then weve got nothing,
i went through a stage of not coming on here last year cos i felt like it was feeding my anxiety if you know what i mean. everything i was reading i was questioning if i had it. now i can stay on as long as i like. im hoping to start training for counselling on stress and anxiety cos i feel especially were i live there is not much help. some, but not off anybody who has been there,
i would have been ecstatic if i could have talked to someone who had been there, thats why i want to help others.
