Loss of self

[jude]

Wow thanks everyone.

The hardest part for me is to accept that this is only anxiety.
In the evening, when I am at my best, I can relax and convince myself that all is well and the feelings are just anxiety.
Unfortunately, in the mornings, it is at its worst and I start to panic again.
Such a viscious circle.
I am just clinging on to the knowledge that I am not on my own and it will subside one day.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts with me and for making me feel 'normal' again.

Jude,
Everyone here gets where you are coming from and has given you such good advice. I have to ask though - are you getting any kind of therapy? It really does help to be able to talk to a professional, at least it will set your mind at ease somewhat.
Mornings are horrendous for me. It is 6:30 am here now and I've been feeling badly since I woke up at 6:00. I don't know why mornings are so hard for some, but I have to work through it.
You know the bad feelings will subside, but therapy does help.
{hugs}

Hi Sickofit,

Im currently on the waiting list for CBT. Apparently it will be June before I get an appointment though.
Im not on any meds, I am afraid of the side effects and afraid my symptoms will get worse if I take anything.

Hi Jude

Just remember to hold on to that knowledge that it will get better and you are not on your own. It will be June before you know it and the CBT will really help you through it.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Hi Jude,

Aren't you glad you found this site. I am. You get the best advise and you don't feel as though you are on your own.

If this doesn't make any sense my daughter has just come in and chatting ten to the dozen!!

I have had a few of these 'things' and they can be bad....
Counselling will be good and if you can't get this until June then coming on here is the next best thing.
STAY POSITIVE honey and take each day as it comes.

with good wishes
