Sever Anxiety Only at night.

[KeriNLasVegas]

Hi everyone! My name is Keri. I've been suffering with anxiety all my life. Now that I am 37, it's been worse than ever. I get to the point where a simple action or word triggers an attack. It's mostly at night when I am alone with my thoughts and I'm usually pretty good through the day. This morning mine was set off by a visit from my father in law. I just began to shake and feel cold from head to toe. I feel like this is taking over my life. Usually I will get into the car and just drive. This indeed makes me feel better. Will I ever get this to subside?

Do you feel abandoned at night time? Unloved?



This morning mine was set off by a visit from my father in law.

Usually I will get into the car and just drive. This indeed makes me feel better.

What does he symbolize (father in law)? What were your thoughts in the morning before the visit?

Think clearly now. Really feel it.

Secondly, why does a drive make you feel better. Where are you going?

How is your relationship with your spouse?

Healing, body and mind, begins with questions. I will proceed to teach you why (and how) -

Learn to feel your way around answers. More than words backed by reason. Allow your emotions to dig and guide you to the wording. Good or bad, feel. The scarier the feeling gets, the more protected the area is that your digging around in. So keep digging around and allow your imagination free play to ask questions. "Why am I feeling this right now" "what is this connected to""show me pictures (mentally) of why I am shaking" "when did I first shake"

You are looking for strong emotions. The shaking, the nervous tension, are all related to some suppressed feelings, the driving symbolizes a release. But it is short lived, because you always return without proper psychological resolution. The drive is a run, not a turn and face. You can drive, but find a place to sit and feel..

Use words only to describe the feeling, let the feelings themselves be descriptive, and they will naturally form the appropriate thoughts. The thoughts that arise from allowing honest emotions to surface are your beliefs. That's your truth. And where healing takes place. (Not the surface, but that deeper - truer - emotional level.

You may be afraid to face emotions you perceive would overwhelm you, or that you consider taboo. Emotions may be filled with guilt, regret, or even hate. You may find for example, by allowing yourself to truly feel and express that they say "I hate my life, I hate me" or "I am unlovable", or "I hate my father in law", or "I hated my father" Now, this is only an example. But you can see the guilt that can be associated with thought. And that place is too painful to face, and so anxiety has its inception from such repressed seemingly hurtful thoughts. I say seemingly because if faced, looked at, they are meant to lead you back to a loving place. Without the courageous examination, you would continue to feel separated and alone, thus the fears remain as ghosts that haunt you.

It is your mind, explore it. Don't fear it, or look for answers outside of it. Or let the anxiety fool you into diverting your attention away from the real issues inside and placed on (bodily or physical symptoms). You chase a mirage like a cat chasing its own tail.

Have courage and dig within, there are no exceptions.

Save this post, and read it often.

That is all.
