challanging of anxious thoughts

Davit,
I tend to get anxious without any particular reason.I assume a negative situation & start getting panic.This I found comes in category of GAD during the course of my CBT. This tendency exist in my behaviour since I my schooldays;at least 17-18 yrs back when I was high school students;when small daily events tends to disturb me.I have feel of humiliation in between my friends even in general discussion.
Whenever I tend to break this feel I feel more anxious.During course of my CBT,I came to know that yoga & medidation will help out in strong manner to break this behaviour. And now I am practising it thoroughly because now I also feel its positive impact in behaviour.
After your thread,I decide to start another activity.I will quote the positive habits of mine in my thought diary.This will be a daily activity to repeat my positive habits.The theme will depend on -'Yes I can'.This will surely help me to build positive core beliefs & strong foundations as u suggest.
My problem I now have shifted to my home town where there is no facility of behaviour therapy.What ever I m doing is my own effort & input from the site.
Give your comments on this thread & any other tip for build of positive core belief.

Weaving postive dreams - is it possible?

Davit,
The exercise u suggested is good for build of positiveness.The automatic reaction of mind is to think of negative.For every negative statement there occurs a positive statement which is a fact.The practice should be such that positiveness should flow automatically.This is a difficult task yet achievable.My negative thought replacement is just 30% at present.
By regular positive practices it can be increased to a considerable extent,I believe.

feel embarassed due to depression & anxiety

My good old friends are trying to contact me since last 1 year.I left my job last year because I am not able to manage my anxiety.It has gone so high that I was left with no option but to leave job.My friends are  searching me on facebook & sending me message.But I did not respond to them because I feel embarassed due to my anxiety &current low salary profile.I feel bad in sharing my present situation with them.
Any suggestion on how to deal with such situations ?

I hate myself!

Kama, I just want to say choose a path which can help to regain your confidence.I myself is a big sufferer of anxiety.I lost my job & earned money due to anxiety & depression.At present I am in big loss;yet there is a HOPE;I CAN.For 4 months I closed myself in dark room & isolated myself from external activities.But I gained nothing except more losses. I took a step & re joined a job of very low profile & salary.Yet I have an HOPE & I am really making sincere efforts to reach my aim. So don't loose your hopes.Talk with your good friends as you do it in your post.You will feel better when you speak.Speaking will create more better to you as compared to writing. rohit131

Understanding self behaviour in situations

My past history of depression dates back to 1997 when I was senior school boy.I came to discover about myself that I get panic in my normal routine work.As for example I find difficult myself concentrating on my work.I find difficult in conversation with my senior because I feel less confident about my work.As soon as I am loaded with work I start getting panic.I feel myself unable to perform good in time bound work where there are work pressures.I get hurted & upset very soon if any of my colleague says something negative directly to me or even at back side.
Now if I analyze above situations,they are very normal & every human in this world face these challanges. But why I get panic on such normal circumstances?Is it a personality disorder or how can I interpret myself because I feel myself getting depressed & anxious for no reasons.

Trying for better & anxiety free life

My boss from last to last company called me up on new year eve & offered me a responsible job with good salary. I feared to take responsibility.So told him due to some family problems I am not able to join currently.Will think in future.
The problem with me is that I can not discuss my depression & anxiety in professional life.These problems are hidden in my professional life although there were severe indications of fear & anxiety reflected publicily in my previous job.
But now merely sitting & doing job of very low profile seems to hurt me again & again.
So I am now again preparing my self to take some higher responsibility & already started working on it.
I have developed my own formats for tracking of anxiety.This seems to help me understand my thought patterns.
I have disclosed my depression with relatives & friends  who are not in touch with me professionally in any manner.This make my mind relax & I can now able to understand who I can do & what I can not.
Can we manage/beat depression & anxiety in our professional life which have responsibilities & challanges ?
Any suggestions ?

Cure

Cara,
My experience of life reflects that anxiety is only manageable but not curable.I am still not able to control properly my disturbed thought process.The only cure to anxiety according to me is to compromise with situations & only a balanced exposure to situations which cause you anxiety.
