I thought someone might have some advice on this one. I started seeing a new psychologist who has been recommended by a few people. After our initial visit, I explained to him about my intense GAD that never really gives me any time to enjoy life, relax, feel good. As a type A person, I feel like I try everything to get better.
His advice.... Just give up trying to get better. I know he means that accepting it ends the fight against it, but to just give up. I don't even know where to start, He advised to stop meditation, journaling, looking up stuff on the internet, the rationale is that none of those had worked. I am perplexed.
He did say to focus on channeling your energy to focus on my family. I am working on that part but any advice on the giving up? It is just depressing to think that way and I am depressed enough after 20 years of dealing with different forms of anxiety.
Thanks
