Hi
I had a surprisingly good day yesterday having been to a consultant urologist and given hope that my physical problems were highly likely to be curable. I have suffered from a problem for the last year and when they told me this it was like a weight was lifted and the anxiety disappeared.
This might just sound incredibly obvious - stress taken away, less anxiety - but I had not realised how much of my current anxiety was simply down to worrying about my physical problems so I was amazed by how much better I have felt.
It has taught me a lesson that I thought I'd share. I tend to get wrapped up in anxiety and the obsessions or preoccupations that generally stem from that anxiety, quite ignoring the situation in my life, which is why I was surprised to feel so good when only one of my problems was taken away.
From now on I am going to try and stop sitting around getting obsessed with things and look for practical solutions to take away the stressors in my life. I realise many of you (with more common sense than me!) will have already done this, or for others it just may not be that easy, but for those like me who say "I hate my job" then don't look for a new one or "I hate where I live" and don't check out other options for housing, I'd suggest having a look at all the little things in your life you'd like to change. Maybe having just one weight lifted from your shoulders will feel like three tonnes has been taken away.
Hope this helps anybody
