Well - I still get anxiety but what Ive been doing is searching for evidence demonstrating the lack of credibility of anxiety. Thus I went on a short trip and though I panicked, I had such a great time. I deliberately do everything it says I cant. Now whenever these thoughts emerge, I rely on this evidence to counter these negative thoughts (that I will never get better) and remind myself that anxiety is just an overactive alarm system. The fact that I think anxiety will never go away is a type of cognitive distortion namely overestimating its importance. I do have crappy days but recovery is never linear or tidy.
thank you Ashley
