I'm glad you doubted my anxiety! Makes me feel sorta accomplished, like I'm on the right path. Thanks for that!
And you're right about the "I see you negative thoughts, but good bye!". Getting to this step was a pain, the step itself can still be cumbersome...like I'm walking on broken glass...but I see sandy beaches and plump fields of green grass on the other side. So might as well go with the whole "no pain, no gain", workout ethics.
Have you ever watched The Matrix, Miki? Remember the scene where all the kids were bending spoons? I almost feel like one of those kids...and the spoon is my current mentality, solid as a iceberg, like it can't be changed without great force, but it can...what I choose to make real, is becoming such. It's an odd freedom, but damn it feels good to be free!
Take this same challenge, though imagine what we go through while doing it, and most important: what would you say/do to yourself to overcome these feelings?
If I'm going out of lines, then brush this off. I come from a land where the skin is as thick as whale blubber, so it's no dirt off my shoulders. I'm just curious how different people handle each scenario, and what they do to overcome such. Not that it'll work for me, but overcoming is by nature a very versatile, creative platform where the more options you have to do better, the less you think about how to go wrong.
I beginning to realize I suffer less panic attacks, and more fear in general. All caused by plausible things, but the mind comes up with not-so-plausible schemes, and thus I begin the vicious cycle. Que sara, sara, whatever I think, will be. So I'm choosing not to dwell anymore and hot diggity it's got some great, and not-so-great moments. But I'm willing to take both. Appreciation comes through overcoming one's own diversity, no?
Personally I believe depression and anxiety DO result from a personal weakness or character flaw. I believe the real challenge comes from accepting and using that flaw to meet one's personal goal(s). Criticism/alternate thoughts encouraged...
I hear you both, Miki and Gene. Miki: I always ask myself, what if this is one of those moments I'm supposed to soldier through it? Answer: I don't know, it's a learning process that I have to try with each. Some losses are bigger then others, but some gains are also greater then losses. Risk is a funny thing, but I'm willing to take it for a ride.
Gene: I hate control! I want it so much, but the more I want it, it seems the less I have. Now I try to control only certain things that feel right, but just like what I said above, it's a game of risk. Ride it!
Hey Miki, ever heard Des'ree? She's another inspiring singer...try "You Gotta Be"...one of my favorites since elementary school (I think...could be middle school...)
First interview is the hardest, and the real test. If they are taking you in for a second, that means they saw the Tony the Tiger you can bring (GreeeeeeeAT!), and really, the second interview is a formality. You've got this Minnesota, good stuff!
Aha, yes! I named a name for something that annoys us all...lol. Think I should take this to the board of medical directors and have them officially change it to lumpthroat? Then for anyone that asks, the term was coined by "that one panicky guy"... :-O
Miki: from what I know about thyroids, it's exactly like Faryal said. They act as a defensive mechanism towards infection. It just means your body still loves you and wants to bear hug you...(but from the inside...if that makes any sense whatsoever).
I just started mine about a month ago. Little awkward at first, and I think I spelled that word wrong, but overall it's kinda nice to let go of all that pent up stuff...and sometimes he give me a pretty good insight to the situation. Overall, I think the greatest thing is letting all that **** that bothers me out, forgive my language...and forgive it again for the following quote: don't sweat ****, flush it!
Anywho, whatever you feel is best, you know you! I got your back!
