Hello folks,
Wondering if I could bounce a couple of things around (not beachballs if your a Liverpool fan).
Im dealing with anxiety and the whole bag that comes with it ie. the tireness, fuzzy thinking, lack of concentration. But does anyone know how to counter the feelings of 'I've got to be doing something, because if your not, then many opportunities are flying by as we speak'?
I'm having a wee bit of trouble with this one as my anxiety is telling me that I should always be working on something or constantly learning new things at the rate of knots, in order to increase my status in life (well at least I thinking that's what its relating too). Of course you can imagine what that does for my recreational time, blows it out the water.:mad: as I cant fully relax.
For example, Im doing my driving lessons over a 2 week intensive course, now this wasnt down to the anxiety telling me to do it this way, more of a really byzantine driving instructor with a disregard for allowing pupils into 4th gear. Even now I've not even booked the thing yet, my mind goes into overdrive periods which tell me that I should be studying away at it to get it out the road as soon as possible. An uncomfortable feeling always sweeps across me telling me that Im the one who's left behind because nearly everyone of my friends can now do it.
How do we stop the anxiety from suggesting that we should never fully be a rest or take things at a comfortable pace, rather than throwing up 15 scenario's per day of things that I should be doing. ?
