My First Anxiety Forum

[kkarnes]

Hello everyone. I am new to the world of anxiety. I have only been (consciencely) dealing with it for the past two years. I went to counseling for it and went on effexor for it. Though I am no longer taking effexor and my sessions with my counselor have ended and I am doing very well except every now and then I have slip ups. I decided to join this forum to talk with others like myself and want to know how they deal with slipping up or how to better keep myself inline.

To clarify, I dont have day to day anxiety, but every now and then, something stressful will happen and I am unable to process it rationally. I blow the situation way out of proportion and the whole process seems to lower my self esteem which then adds to the anxiety.

I welcome any advice anyone has and hope to offer some myself someday. I look forward to meeting you all.
