Generalized anxiety disorder

hugs4U,

Glad to hear that with practice, you're getting better at challenging perfectionism!

What can you do to keep a realistic attitude front of mind on a day to day basis?

Make journaling a part of your day!

hugs4U,

Perhaps if you wrote in an online journal (as opposed to a paper one) it may be easier on the hands?

As for social media, different people may have different experiences based on how often they are using the tools available, in what way, etc. I would say that it's a highly individual experience.

Isolation and Side Effects

ncladyfromva,

I'm so sorry to hear your anxiety has returned and that you had some tough times with friends in the recent past. This must have been a very challenging time for you. It's good to hear, however, that you're focusing on the positive things in life like the co-workers you are close to as well as the support on the forums. Indeed you are right that this is a place without judgment. We are here for you!

Would you consider writing in a journal to help curb the anxiety? Many members report that logging daily thoughts and feelings helps with anxiety as well as goal setting. In the meantime, please feel free to post often and share your thoughts and feelings with us!

CBT Day €“ Anger, Part II

ncladyfromva,

I'm really sorry to hear you had a bout of anger and that this caused some tension between you and your roommate. It sounds like this was a sensitive situation for you. How might you better redirect anger going forward? What healthy activities would help you deal with these feelings?

By the way, just saw your post here and realized you are considering trying journaling! This may definitely be a good idea!

Writing in a narrative way can help to organize thoughts, which then makes the course of action to be taken that much clearer.

CBT Day €“ Anger, Part II

hi hugs4U,

Great observation...you are ultimately in control of your own feelings. You can choose to change your expectations and let go of anger.

Going forward, how can you set the scene for interaction so that your expectations are not influenced by memories? How can you remind yourself to be mindful of your agency over your emotions?

CBT Day €“ Anger, Part II

hugs4U,

By "mindful of your agency", I was referring to the awareness you have of your control, your own power over your emotional state.

Interesting turn of events at the church...In your experience, do you find that the "inability to act" that you experienced can also occur when people become angry?

Hi bren67,

I'm sorry to hear you've been under some stress. I hope your husband feels better soon.

It's good that you're reaching out for support, however

. Now that you know about your husband's condition, you'll both be better placed to deal with it as necessary.

Have you considered some relaxing activities during this challenging time? What do you like to do to unwind?
