[imsotired]

im so greatful that i have a good immne system. i am currently sick right now cus 2 days ago i ate a cabury chocoate caramello block(120 caloeries). after eating it i felt dissapointed with myself. never again! yesternight an this morning i thiught i was going to die cus my anxiety is at its peak when i am the most vunerable
It was the worst i have ever felt in my life.
i would say im 75% bettter now
im so greatfull that we have things like anxiety forums to rant about our stresses anonymusly as i dont rlly like people to see how i look. i know im beautiful but my anxiety really said no Im working on it though. I have great coping strategies now when dealing with stress. crying is the number one thing i am greatful for(just not in public)

That feeling we have when the worst feelings start to subside is one of the greatest things. I’m going through a horrible time right now with ruminating on a past event, and although I know it will pass in a day or so, the feelings are hell. I can’t wait for that relief and gratitude that you’re feeling. I’m so glad you’re in that phase right now

Ruminating is introspective thinking and is not recommended in anxiety! 'The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on, neither thy piety or wit can remove one word of it' That was written on the wall at Belshazzar's feast. The king needed reminding of it. The past is gone. We can make amends by forgiveness. Forgiveness takes a load off our minds, but it needs to be sincere. I remember in the bad days in Northern Ireland where a man lost his only son to a a bomb attack. He said he forgave them. That is true forgiveness.
Christ on the cross is said to have spoken his last words. 'Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do'. So many of us don't know what we do when we are spiteful and angry. Any extreme emotion is not good in anxiety, and yes, that applies to joy also. When we reach the pinnacle we can so easily come tumbling down again. Buddhists talk of the 'middle way' Walking between extremes of anything in life.
