    Anxiety is a learned response which becomes a vicious circle, the more you look for answers the worse it gets, you need to stop searching, try and take up a new hobble or start training for a charity run, find something that ingrouses your attention.

    Look up mindfulness

    You will get over this, you went born like this you have just got stuck for a while.

      Sorry to hear that it was not helpful for you,

      I am not saying that one thing alone is going to work for any one, just a mix of things that people can try and incorparate into there lives that might help, mindfullness, you can read about on the net for free or watch it on youtube, exercise like walking then jogging is also free.

      Its not an easy road and I didn't mean to make light of it just trying to encourage people that there is light at the end of the tunnel

      Yes you are right  if a group of people were given a tray of  treats we would all take different  ones and you are right not to focus anxiety all of the time  it's a hard skill to learn there is no denying that but I now know it is possible we all wait to get better before we do things we should be strong and do things anyway because ifgive it power it tends to get worse.. For me I had to start on basic things like getting washed and dressed and walking my dog everyday no matter. How I felt .... This then led me to meeting friends and food shopping and now I even go to the gym which has made a massive difference to the conversations I have with myself I know I am in recovery and I have a long way to go

    Lou is so right. You HAVE to stop focusing on it to make it go away.

    some days are better then others that is what recovery is all about some days I think I have taken ten steps back even though I haven't learn not to fret over the bad days just let them go even if you have had a bad day I don't tend to ask myself why anymore I just except it and try and focus on something positive from that day

    it probably will if you are still thinking about it you are giving it power to happen again this is what I used to do what I did was learn not to fear it I used to say if it happens again I know it's anxiety it's just a feeling it will not kill me I know it's a hard thing to do but you need to accept the anxiety and eventually it will go away I constantly as what if all of the time but it is getting less now because I carry on with my life with or without anxiety

    I am just a normal person just like you you can get through this I promise I still have very bad days but I get through them it's hard work I know and not easy but you can do it don't be afraid of these feelings just say it's only anxiety I will pass the more you do this the less power it has over you stay strong

    good luck
