I just signed up for this dare, and appreciate all the comments I read, because feel I'm not alone in this anxiety struggle. :-)
today i walked on treadmill twice. this was more to reduce anxiety than to loose weight.(even though i have much weight to lose) i must get a grip on this anxiety.
Today felt like the first day of my new life. Less stressing over the past and focusing more on the present. After going thru such a dramatic seperation from someone I was dating , I had the craziest first time experiencing numbness in my body because of anxiety and rapid heart beat. I smoked pot to relieve my mind but I felt unhappy n unhealthy so I joined a boxing gym and had the most amazingest training ever.it's making me feel so good ESP after sweating so much stress out. Then, Eating healthy n meditating to top it off. Life is good , now I have to dare myself to keep it going n being consisent !!! I know I can do this !
Now I really need to do this more than ever. Anxiety has caused me to lose almost every single relationship I have had. My boyfriend of 7 years just broke up with me, over the last 2 years I have alienated myself from all friends and family. The only relationship I have left is with my son, he is almost 17. He doesn't even know that me and my boyfriend are breaking up and that we have to move. I told my boyfriend I would go to therapy and he said it's just to late. He has been asking me to go for awhile and I was too scared. He said I need to go anyway but we are still breaking up. He's right I just need to go, but of course in the back of my mind I wonder if I go, will he stay. I wish I wouldn't do that. He made it perfectly clear that we are done and he said "I love you but I am not in love with you." Whatever the that means.

I just finished my final audition for the year. It was audition day from : no sleep in the smokey roach motel, couldn't find the building, no time to warm up, last minute materials to learn...and I pulled through it all completely stress free and delivered a really good performance! :-) I am considering this dare complete and welcoming a brand new performing confidence. :-)
Good for you!!!! good luck!!
Well!! It went OK! lets just say the minute we walked out the door i was relieved!
It made it hard because everyone was drinking, and i cant drink because of the meds im on, it just makes me worse! I havent had a drink for nearly a year, and my life has been soooooo much better. I like to be in control of things, and im just a menice with alcohol! plus the next day im anxious as !
Anyway, we only stayed for an hour and that was bad enough.
Really really struggled just want the ground to swallow me up :(
Really wish i had more confidence in that department!
OK is better than horrible! So that is a good start :)
Wow, it looks like we have similar problems. First coffee, then alcohol. Alcohol makes me anxious as too the next day! Except, I still drink (moderately/occasionally). Coffee and alcohol just makes me feel out of control and gives me many negative/bad thoughts. But, I just pray and hand all of my negative uncontrollable feelings over to God and ask him to replace them with good, happy, spiritual thoughts. This helps me more than anything!! It gives me peace of mind.
An hour in that situation is a fantastic start! Good stuff.
I ALWAYS worry what folk think about me! and i hate that about me, just wish i could shake things off and not care!
I guess i just want everyone to like me and not think any badness about me, but theres always one that will try and bring you down!
Another part of my anxiety is that i read far too much into things and am always over analysing my day and any situations i have been in!
Maybe its just the way i am, im hoping it will change with age though, cos im fed up with these unnesscessary thought consuming my mind!
Maybe i just need to harden up a bit and become more of a !!! but that just sooo doesnt suit me!
Yeah- I know how you feel. I struggle with the same thing. I think it's just our nature- and yes it's exhusting! It's so annoying to always worry about what other people are thinking about you- but it's always nice to know you aren't the only one who feels this way.
I'm with you on this, too. The irony is that whenever you analyze your day, it's always negative! That's the problem with anxiety - it takes away your ability to objectively analyze and come up with positives, as well as negatives. Keep it going ....!
What a difference a day makes!!! I feel so much better today, really need to keep up the momentum.... I am sorry to hear of your troubles babycakes, but rest assured your days will be brighter and better. I have been to and back in my life, and have came from an awful background of domestic violence when i was younger, it is SO Hard, to come out the other end.
I went to see my doctor today, he has reffered me to like an anxiety management/ counselling type thing, so i am glad i have taken another step forward to sort this. the weather is nice, its nice and bright, likes OK today. Hope you are all well. and fighting this too.
I'm so glad you're feeling better. Way to bounce back! Hope today is a good day for you.

I am feeling great today. But a friend of mine was told yesterday by her Dr. that she is getting panic attacks, probably becasue she is due to get married soon. They put her on adivan(sp) and she talks and acts like a zombie. I have been to therepy, and I have tried to deal and get over it on my own, I am none using medication becasue it is just not going away. Though today is good and great, my attacks can kick in and kick my , literally. I wish they would go away, but I take each day at a time! Amen!
I've been working on how anxious I am of what people really think about me...
Whether I am just being paranoid, or whether my doubts about people, family and friends really are true.
I struggle to complete menial tasks such as washing, tidying my room without my brain being plagued about how I appear to the people who think they know me.
I hope to get rid of this anxiety before I start my second year of university, or else I feel I wont enjoy it.
Any advice will be appreciated :)
I have been struggling with similar problems, and a few key things have helped me significantly. Yoga, for instance. It relieves tension ( if you do it right :) and relaxes you mentally. And, increases endorphins which for me if one of the main reasons for doing it. Also, you mentioned anxiety about what people think of you. I think the best thing to do is have confidence in yourself and not be afraid to express who you are. People may not always like you, but if you give them the true you they will respond more openly and see that you are happy with who you are. Self-acceptance is the key.
I hope I helped!

I have been battling anxiety my whole life. It has recently gotten more serious because I am significantly under-weight (that's why I joined LiveStrong) and I am having a lot of trouble just finishing my plate. People are starting to call me anorexic behind my back, and I am feeling really bad about myself. I needed this dare to motivate me even more to help myself. Advice would really help me.
hi,
despite an active stalkster-which i don't enjoy at all- i just keep doing my little things and really can't be bothered anymore:be it a pyramid or MLM;i'm not interested...
am getting back into shape and excercise more:that's pretty essential.
the focus is on these things...
