"Just relax" they say

[thewind05]

Hey I'm new to the site and new to forums in general. Im trying to get over this anxiety business like everyone else and well I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like my thoughts run in circles and I'm going nowhere.

Something that keeps arising though is all the people I express myself to say "just relax, your thinking too much, relax" and it makes me so angry and so worked up I can't handle myself. "I'm trying to relax" I say and they say "you don't try, you just do, you relax."This only causes more stress. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Am I just overthinking again?

haha, yeah its funny when people say to you just relax! Its not always quite that easy, its not like you can just flick a switch and turn it off. Its funny because in everyother way I am sooooooo laid back its only with health issues and my pulse goes racing!

god I hate that!

My other favorite is forget about it, stop worrying so much.....Like I have a choice in the matter...If only I could turn off that worry switch.

Mine is health issues as well.....That is all I seem to think about especialy mine and my son's

Hi all

As much of as a pain in the butt to hear that and yes it is not easy .

It is what you have to do , but you dont just do it you learn it , it is something that we learn just as we learn to be stressed all the time .

cheers kev
