...I feel very...normal? I suppose that's the word for it. I haven't had true anxiety in a little while. I've not had any health related obsessions in quite some time. Life is great, I feel very content with everything. I just generally feel happier.
I recently injured a muscle or something in the right side of my chest. I've been trying to let that heal, which is difficult because that muscle moves when I cough, breathe in deeply, sneeze, raise my right arm, etc. But it's not been too bad.
I felt some dizziness earlier today, and the first thought in my mind was *NOT* anything serious. Since when?! I haven't done that in a long time! Normally it causes me to think worst case scenario first, and then I counter that with logical thinking. But the episode today, I had no negative thoughts about it. When I realized that, I felt so freaking awesome!
I definitely accept that I have anxiety. I am okay knowing that I'll feel anxious or think irrationally about things in the future. But the progress I've made just in the past two or three years, when I really think about it, is quite significant. And for that I am very grateful, and also very proud of myself for finally taking the appropriate steps - therapy and putting in the time and effort to truly feel better.
Thank you all for helping me in my times of need. It's much appreciated. I'm sure I'll need some advice / help later on. In the meantime, though, I'll still be around to help out as always.
