I would try learning the coping skills taught in CBT like the TEA form. They worked amazingly well for my anxieties and are really effective if you stick with them. The book Been There, Done That? Do...

CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
TEA Thought Error Analysis The main exercise for fighting anxiety used in CBT.

Thanks. I just posted on another thread that I imagine he is probably enjoying his reduced anxiety and never thinks to check in here, but he may return someday. He seemed like a good dude!

You can't take advantage of the willing ;)
No not a dad, very funny... Doing great but way to busy, wish I had more time to check in here, but happy I got a notification from you to roust me out of...

Thanks :)
I'm guessing he's just busy and feeling better so he wants to take advantage of what feeling better has to offer.... I have that problem all the time these days!!!

Thanks beachgirl. How's life treating you?

Me too. It's all that kept me going before finding relief with the TEA form exercise from CBT.

:)
I would not take it personally Beach, he's probably just busy with life and the holidays!

FWIW, I think it is working now. I posted it on another thread and just hit that link and it came up :)

I'm doing great, thx. Had a nice break over the holidays and enjoyed the time with family and friends. How about you?

Me too, but don't give up on him yet as I have disappeared for long periods myself. It's hard to come here as often when you are finally enjoying life again :)

Happy New Year everyone!

Made it through one holiday with flying colors. Thank you TEA forms and CBT :)

Hrad to argue, but I think I would have gotten better grades if I knew about CBT and TEA forms before I went to college :)

Happy to hear that and way to get beachgirl out of her shell ;)

Surprising but not shocking.... so many books hard to get all of them on one list and read them all too.

Thx for the great reply. I still do TEA forms and they still keep me motivated on the days I wake up dragging. That's cool that he said he saw a lot of similarities with you since he's better now. I...
