Dear all,
I'm just putting down on paper an experience literally just happening. Apparently, its a good strategy to try and cope with anxiety......
Just heard the wife answer the telephone and over-hearing her replies I immediately thought it was one of our friends. I instantly thought this would involve some sort of invitation for us and the blasted anxiety surged again. You know the feelings you get from an instant surge of adrenalin. Isn't it interesting that the terrible feelings come instantly, just a moments negative thought (the possible invitation) and the anxiety starts. As it transpired, the telephone call wasn't a friend at all. Anyone else get anxiety through jumping to conclusions?
Cheers,
Graham.
p.s. writing down this experience has helped a little, so I recommend getting your anxiety feelings down on paper as soon as possible
