And scream therapy is ...(((((Big big big hugs!))))) And scream therapy is amazing (in the privacy of your own home or into a pillow). It's a great stress relief when you can't get the catharsis from a good cry.<br /><br />I've been there, and here again, and it is worse in the winter, no matter where you live, including Southern California (it's just not as terrible). Find someone to talk to. Grab a coloring book. My therapist, who prefers cognitive behavior therapy, let me know it's more than OK to go on meds to get your brain chemistry back on track, especially when the dark chocolate stops working (small smile). Give yourself a break long enough to find a solution. Anxiety sucks sweaty monkey balls.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675918374775278239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677077373976705300.post-16916336462155871422015-12-09T14:17:49.166-08:002015-12-09T14:17:49.166-08:00I wish i could just hold your hand.
Not because i...I wish i could just hold your hand. <br />Not because i want to fix things i know i cant. But, i just want to make it a little less. <br />As an outsider looking in... It seems like youve made this big awesome and brave decision for yourself. To sell the bar. But its scary and big and brave. So all the bad thoughts are trying to take that goodness away. The goodness you should be able to feel, when you do awesome brave things. <br />Im going to keep cheering for you! For more time to spend making art, more time to snuggle your pups, more time to love on your husband, more space to breathe and grow, for more time that you can focus on you... Doing brave and big things. <br />Keep going. You are beautiful, worthy and loved. Your anxiety doesnt scare me, your depression doesnt make you lesser. You are human... Being human is hard. Esspecially when circumstamces make it harder, more painful. <br />Keep going. <br />Im rooting for you. You are a brave one!

I'll try just about anything at this point.Jessicahttp://www.loveheylola.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677077373976705300.post-77385559583996091422015-12-09T13:35:13.338-08:002015-12-09T13:35:13.338-08:00From what I've learned... the more you tell yo...From what I've learned... the more you tell yourself to stop thinking or feeling something, the worse it gets (like pushing a beach ball down into water... it pops back up). What if you tried just not being mad at yourself for having anxiety? Instead, become super familiar with the feeling, rate on a scale of 1-10, and then remind yourself that it comes and goes :) in substance use treatment we call it urge surfing but I bet you it works for anxiety too! Hang in there :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150877194975924294noreply@blogger.com
