You certainly can't just ignore it and
expect it to go away but for me getting
better required learning the coping skills
I learned from cbt. Once you begin to
counter your thoughts that cause the
anxiety it will become more manageable.
Try and join a cbt group or you can read
the book I always recommend to start with
that we used in my group called Been
there, done that? Do This! By sam obitz.
It's a short easy book and pretty
encouraging. It takes dedication but if
you are willing to work on yourself cbt
will make a huge difference for you

Stess Managment Is Not Easy

Self disipline and stress managment is
very hard. In saying this, I am talking as
far as leaving a job, family intervention,
doing things you like to do to re-direct
your brain. You have to know what your
"tiggers" are and stay away from them.
Meaning whatever it is that sets you off
on an attack. You have to try and avoid
those area's of your life. Sometime it is
very hard. It depends on how much you care
about yourself and your well being. You
have to keep your "Tiggers" in check.

The only cure for anxiety is The Linden
Method. Do it, it worked for me and now I
m 100%. After having it for 9 years of my
life. And you are right the cure to
anxiety is not paying attention to it,
divert your mind always.

Lore26, You my friend are going in the
right direction. Everyone has to realize
that yes, their is medication out there.
But it is what we call :Masking the
symptoms:. We all expect these medications
to be a magic wand for us, when the truth
is, we ourselves need to do our part too.
Between both, we are able to keep our
quality of life in check. We just cant set
by and expect our medication to do all the
work for us.
Bravo! Keep up the good work and you will
fell better for it.
Hugs,
MsSky

Diverting is like masking, it helps but is
no cure. Linden's method is simply more
expensive packaging of CBT. He took from
cbt and called it his own. But if he's
now telling you to divert rather than deal
with the anxiety and realize that it is
the phallicies in your thinking that cause
anxiety he's doing you and everyone else a
disservice. You need to confront the
anxiety and realize that it is there
because you are not processing things
realistically and therefore causing
anxiety and then you will naturally not
have to pay attention to it because it
disappears.

This is so right on the money! I felt this
way for years to my own detriment and
finally when I combined cbt with my meds
did I heal myself and eventually get off
of all meds. GREAT POST MsSky

What a nice surprise to hear back from you
Johnr  I hope busy means
well too. Honestly I have not been posting
much here myself and will try and be
better about it. Sometimes it is hard to
find time when you are feeling good...some
irony there huh? Take care!

i would say try try to rationalise your
fear. worked for me. i had an anxiety
about crowed rooms so as you can imagine
morining assembly became a nightmare. but
one day i just decided to face up to the
challenge.
just think to yourself 'what am i scared
about?!' concentrate on slowing your heart
rate. im fine now
