Challenging Worry €“ Progressive Muscle Relaxation Part II

Hi Ashley

It has been awhile since I used panic centre, I am using this as a tool since I will be returning part time to work on Oct 29. So I re=read session on worry and sensitivity/shyness. This has been most helpful. I am happy to read progressive muscle relaxation

and will practice this today. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by my situation I forget to use these tools. One of my worries upon returning to work is will I remember names. That seems small but having said that it could be embarassing. I will look at lots of name tags, hahaha

Do you have any other suggestions to help me through this coming week>

Waking Up in Panic

hello everyone

I'm MaryLouise and it has been awhile since I was in a discussion. But I am here now and have been viewing some threads. I like that you are all so friendly and know something about each other. I'll start off by saying my psychologist suggested this website and that it along with other sources has helped my anxiety and depression. I find myself resorting to tools when I'm overwhelmed.

I returned to work after being off 2 years and I work for a welfare program in my city. It can be stressful and there is lots to remember. I am looking for another position which won't be so demanding and requiring me to be judgemental and punitive. I have found writing and using my network of friend most helpful. When I am frightened or worried I ask myself "how bad is this, what would be the worse thing that could happen? This helps to anchor me and realize my fears are not warranted. I am very gentle and kind to myself. Anyhow I am enjoying the spring, we had tremendous wind and ice storm here in Ontario and today we had sun which was welcome sight.

take care everyone, I will be diligent in checking into panic center more often.

Under the gun again.....

Hi Ashley

good to hear about you, you are quite beautiful. It has been a time since I have been on panic center.I am struggling a bit since I am back to work full time, I work at social service delivering Ontario Works program. It is sad the situations I hear and I am trying not to be a super hero worker, because that just drains me out. I do find the CBT helpful, sometimes I use the tool box to put my fear or worry in perspective. I am struggling to get an acceptable work environment to sit in. My employer is not recognizing I need a quiet spot. I have talk to my specialist and he will complete a form sent by my employer. So we'll see how this works out.

any suggestions how to explain to my employer that poor focus and concentration needs a quieter environment?>

thanks for your time

I am stuck, cannot seem to do things

Hi, My name is Marie. I have found the last year or so I seem to be unable to get household chores, do baking/cooking which I enjoy doing. I seem to want to come home after work and just sit and watch television or play solitaire. What is happening to me? I want to start walking again, I did that during the summer and it helped my mood and I was more flexible. But now I just can't seem to go out and walk. I think and think about it, then I get angry at myself because I don't walk. It's constant chatter and arguments in my mind and I am tired from all of this. It's counterproductive.

Does anyone have a suggestion or have experienced this?

Feels Like a Major Setback

I certainly feel for you and what's happening to you. Bravo for putting your message out there. It's always a risk to say what is going on. I didn't realize coming off of meds would have this effect upon a person; I am on meds myself and in the last 5 years I have only removed one of the meds.

I wish you well and like everyone is saying to you," you are courageous". Perhaps now is not the time to deal with your in-laws; my experience is not many people truly understand mood disorders even when they try. So hang onto what support you have such as your husband and keep posting.
