I was just joking about Ben and the Spice Girls, but hopefully this site, and whatever works for you, helps you overcome the "jungle" Axl talks about(I think he has a great voice) in his pop song.
Maybe the jungle-like world will become a lush garden or meadow, or whatever you want it to be...
Good luck, and lock and load those secret weapons!
hey, thank you all for welcoming me to the site :) its nice to no your not alone! and big ben and the spice girls, yes that did make me chuckle :) id say more classic rock is better to sing to than the spice girls. guns n roses is my prefered choice hehe
Sadie, good luck with the programme...forgive me for not noticing how we had just joined by number of posts in your profile...I guess I was looking for Big Ben in the background or a Spice girl singing in the background, since you are from England...anxiety crimps my processing, too
Humour is another secret weapon to fend off anxiety. Wish you could have hear the American Idol performances last night, if you like that sort of music:...I was moved to tears :)
hey welcome to the site sadie boo!! i also sing when i need to to focus on the moment and alleviate panic. sometimes hard to sing late at night though so PMR usually does the trick
I use worry/thought records, with my favourite anxiety "busters":
a) "...I'm doing the best I can with what I know, when I know more I'll do better..."(from former tennis star Arthur Ashe who I could never meet because I couldn't afford the country club fees)
b) "...Anxiety is anticipation holding its breath..."(from some Hollywood celeb who could afford a lot more therapy than I'll ever have time or resources for).
c) Anxiety usually has two consolations:
i) What you fear hasn't happened yet
ii) What you really fear, isn't what you think, but what is associated with what will happen(from a book I read by a security expert who consults to celebs & government).
I find playing music and singing along really helps with me, especially at the minute, i have alot of my attacks when out walking so i find some good music and head phones help to take my mind off the symtoms :)
