So crazy that after all these years, anxiety can still lay me out. I don't mean this as complaining. Just shows how constantly being aware to the best of your ability is important.

The last fee years when it comes it's because something traumatic happened. Not like years ago when I would just have an attack. Now it's like immediately as soon as something happens that makes me feel like I'm gonna lose something. I mean it sounds obvious but I'm one that plays every possible bad situation out haha. I am better than when I was.

Put a SPOT LIGHT ON FEAR. AND LOOK WHERE YOU ORIGINALLY GOT THIS FEAR. LOOK UP A BOOK CALLED.. THINK AND GROW RICH. READ THE LAST CHAPTER FIRST. CALLED THE 6 GHOSTS OF FEAR. #1 FEAR IS THE FEAR OF POVERTY. ANXIETY DEPRESSION. DOUBT. WORRY. WE GO TO THE ROOT CAUSES OF ANXIETY... REMEMBER... ACTION CONQUERS FEAR. HAVING VISION AND PURPOSE IS THE ETERNAL ELIXIR TO DRIVE THESE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS OUT OF YOUR MIND... THE DREAM... THE STRUGGLE... AND THE PRIZE... IM IN YEAR 37 AND DOING SOME REALLY BIG THINGS IN LIFE. PEOPLE ARE DREAMING TO SMALL. THAT'S WHY FEAR CREEPS BACK IN. A VISION FOR YOU ISN'T JUST ABOUT STRUGGLING THROUGH LIFE
In step 1 and step 3 the Word lives is plural not singular. Meaning. WE have 5 LIVES. SPIRITUAL... MENTAL... PHYSICAL... EMPLOYEE/BUSINESS.... FINANCIAL LIFE... EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED.

I was taught anxiety is anger driven within ourselves by ourselves. It’s about identifying g the fear and asking Gods will to take over. Let go let God. I have to say it often. I’m not in Control. Anxiety is such a waste of energy. I struggle often. Please God relieve me of my BONDAGE of SELF! Take away my difficulties so I may see and do your will.

I like that thanks.
AA and a good sponsor helps me with anxiety. But I also needed a therapist to help me understand my anxiety….it has a lot to do with unresolved trauma.
I totally get that.
Dude. I feel this too, so much. The feeling of "I'm gonna lose everything now" it's an anchor that I drag around.
Anxiety for me is future tripping alot, and holding on to trauma.
Letting it go little by little. What I hear in the rooms helps me a great deal. And learning physical ways to relax and not be so PTSD'd reactive to internal and external stressors.
Dude, it's insane. Like I couldn't be totally innocent and no need to really worry and I'll let ot dra me down for days haha

Yeah I play out the worse case scenarios.
Same here. I can't tell if it's it's past scumbaggery just riddling me with guilt or what but it is absolutely maddening.

Yeah I know what you mean. I think sometimes it brings up your past, like who you use to be. Especially when it's a situation out of your control. So your mind reaches for things it use to like guilt or shame. It's definitely a cycle I fall into and have to work myself out of from time to time.

I think i project my misconduct on people simply because I know what's "possible". Selfish of me to think everyone is like me.
Tonight at the women's meeting I attended the topic was accepting we don't know everything. Accepting that we don't know what others are thinking. I presumed a lot in the past and that would start me spiraling. Much better staying in the present and not playing out worst case scenarios. Those conversations in head were brutal.
