Facing fear: What is your goal for today?

[Amhacajo]

Still feeling quite anxious. More down than anything I guess. My goal again today is to get through the day and feel better.

There's a thread like this in the depression forums and it seems to help people out when they start their day with a goal.

My goal for today is to take the 30 minute drive to and from my university. I have been working on driving all summer and I've only driven to the school a few times so far. I need to keep practicing before school starts because driving is one of the things that causes me a lot of anxiety. I want to be used to driving to school, which will hopefully help me to avoid panic attacks.

This is a great thread maycontainnuts.
I read through and watched everyone's
progress and it was very uplifting.

I can see that you're very determined
and wanted to say "way to go"!!

My theory is that those
who suffer this junk are
very sensitive and loving
people, so GREAT
to meet all you sweethearts.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I forgot that when I first started this thread, I was still very afraid of driving to school alone and would follow my Mom there and back. Now I drive there alone almost every day.

^ that's great!!!! I know for a fact this forum has helped me out. When I first joined, I was in a all time low. But I feel like now I can handle my anxiety a little better each day.
As for today, my goal was to make it to the store. But the snowy roads and cloudy skies aren't helping much. I always seem a little more anxious on cloudy days, anyone else effected by the weather?

My goal today is to lean not on my own understanding, but to trust God's plan for me.

I can't trust my own understanding, or analyzing, when I have health issues. It leads me to panic.

But God knows the plans he has for me. I am kept perfectly in his plans by his sovereignty and love.

My goal today is to remember to not fear as I wait for my groom to come and get me one day. To be excited like a newly in loved person.

I am more anxious if I have to drive in the rain. Cloudy days also make me feel kind of bleh.

Today I to drive, I have an exam, and I have to work on a group project. I'm just not in the mood to do the group thing but I don't have a choice. (Well I guess technically I do, but I am unwilling to miss class and get points docked just because I'm feeling antisocial today lol.)

I feel the same on cloudy days I am less willing to venture anywhere out of my comfort zones.

Today it is just about making it through. I had a super, super bad day yesterday, and I just want to get through this one without crying.

 

[KTKat]

I also had a bad day yesterday. My goal today is not to let my anxiety take over! I got no sleep last night because of my anxiety, I felt like I couldn't breathe for some reason, so I slept my morning away. But I suppose I'm feeling ok now.

Oh man. So sorry to hear this.
Hope you have a support person.


Have you guys tried the Bcomplex btw?
Just wondering.

3girls2dogs and KTKat big That is exactly how I was a few days ago. Feeling alot better now though. Hang in there!!

Feeling pretty good today so no real fear things to face but tomorrow I need to take my son to a birthday party at a place that I have never been before so feeling slightly anxious about that (my saving grace in this situation is that it's a really good friends son so she will be there) also need to make a follow up call to another mother about another party to find out an address. My kids party invitations always stress me out!

 

[KTKat]

Thanks Girls! I'm starting to feel a little better. Today my goal is to make it to my moms, and if I get anxious to not let it ruin my day!

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

My immediate goal is not to eat even though I am starving because I haven't had food for 12 hours. I have to fast for bloodwork My other challenges today are driving in the rain and social stuff.

 

[KTKat]

ahhh 12 hours without food?! I would be going crazy!

 

[Amaryllismayfly]

[Mrs. Luther073082]
