I have generalized anxiety disorder and have panic attacks on a pretty frequent basis...
I need to cut out the stimulants. They really do make my anxiety worse.
I'm also doing the dare to meditate and that should help as well.
I know the #1 most important thing I need to do is change the way I think about things.
I guess it's all about actually putting things into action as hard as it may be. Thank you for your advice!
I have recently been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder by my doctor, and have started taking medication to reduce my anxiety. It has really helped and I can sleep straight through the night, without waking up with my heart pounding and worries racing from my mind. If , despite your efforts, you can't seem to reduce your anxiety, think about speaking to your doctor about alternatives. It's truly helped me a lot.
I am driving myself sick with worrying about everything. I have to do something to stop my constant anxiety. I get so worked up I hold my breath without trying to. What kind of life is being too afraid to enjoy it? I want a positive train of thoughts instead. I will overcome this mood madness and be more inclined to laugh than frown this year.
I'd like to give you some advice that really helped me!
Whenever you have a negative thought, write it down. Next to it, explain logically why your thinking should have been more positive. Then write a positive thought to replace the negative one! So, for example:
"If I don't pass this test I am a failure." It would be silly to base my self worth on a single test. I have passed, even aced, several tests before. "It's possible I'll fail the test, but it's not the end of the world and I can work to do better next time!"
It seems really simple and ridiculous...but it worked for me. I think it trains your brain to analyze the way you're thinking more. After a week of logging negative thoughts, they had almost disappeared completely...now when a negative thought pops up, I instantly disregard it...and say something nice to myself too!
Yay that!!
I pulled my thoughts back to positive once I realized that I was digging my own ditch for misery. I took a few deep breaths and told myself it was going to be alright.

I take medicine for anxiety. I went to the mall by myself and although I felt anxious I was OK

I'm always anxious about everything, the judgment of others, doing the wrong thing, constantly worrying about everything and anything. I can't live like this anymore.
Didn't let money worries bother me today. Managed to calm down an angry family member and even meditated! :)

used to be-i was afraid of other people opinions; now that is less so
i'm doing what i like best

Had a very nice, quiet, me day today. Took the day to process things, didn't socialize with anyone. Hoping if I start doing this on a weekly basis that it will start to lower my anxiety levels.
well, I focused on reducing my anxiety yesterday and will continue today! The start of a new quarter of school had me freaking out so I took a yoga class and today I am hitting the gym early so that I can work it out!
Though I felt the beginnings of an anxiety attack today I was able to acknowledge it and dismiss it through a good workout, excellent diet, and writing in my journal for 45 minutes.
In 2012, I am going to work on not worrying about worrying too much. I am going to realize that at my age I should not have this much anxiety. I can overcome it and I Will!!!
Good Luck in 2012
