Bad Feelings

Anxiety is tough. Listen to Davit and others they have lots of wisdom about your question. This anxiety can be cured and you can be free of this. I know that for sure as I have gone through this program over the last 8 months.
 
I am noticing my sensitivity to caffeine and alcohol. Because they both play with brain chemistry I am not surprised they affect my anxiety levels. I do drink coffee and beer etc.. but I am mindful that they can trigger anxiety. Lack of sleep, too much stress and too many social events where I cannot express myself honestly also can bring on anxiety. You could journal about what you experienced the day or 2 before this feeling came on to investigate what might be adding to your free floating anxiety. Just an idea. 
 
Good luck.

Tam,

Since I get this too and since it is pretty annoying I do thought exposure.  I replay what is annoying me with an add on. I look at it and accept that this is part of my normal life now. I tell myself it is okay to have this thought and feeling and that tomorrow will be okay because it always is. I don't think others have all perfect days either but they probably say "glad that is over" and forget it where we focus on it.

Thats a good question but I'm not really sure what type of exposure I could do. Maybe others have some suggestions?

Hi Tam,
 
Thanks for sharing this with us.  In regards to addressing this what do you think some possible expsoure work could be for this?
 
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Hi Davit:  Maybe you can look around and see all the nice things you have accomplished and be happy that you did them, knowing even if you might need a rest every now and then,  everything you have accomplished is still there and remains for your enjoyment.

I get anxious when I'm tired from a really good day. It just sneaks in. It is a core belief that it is only going to get worse so why bother even though I'm tired from doing what I like to do.
I know it is just a core and has no basis, but some of mine are pretty strong. Before the arthritis this did not happen, I would work till I dropped and then sleep like a baby. Not any more.

Sometimes anxiety creeps on for me when I am feeling off. Like somedays I stop and think about what a different or strange type of day its been and then I start to get anxiety about this. I'm guessing it has to do with control and routine that I love to have so when it feels like something is out of the norm then I get anxious. Anybody else ever feel this way?
