The misconception of "Anxiety Being Cured!"
Excerpt from → What Anxiety Does To Your Brain And What You Can Do About It

"Anxiety itself is a natural human response that serves a purpose. Our goal shouldn't be to dismiss it entirely but to make it a healthy, manageable part of our lives. Even if you don't suffer from an anxiety-related disorder, anxiety is part of our world, the same way stress, sadness and happiness are. The key is understanding how to cope with it in a healthy way."
I found the part about GPs interesting. The article does push medication and also comes from a well known Marketer [Beyond Blue] within the industry and no doubt like GPs gets many kickbacks for its alignments, aims, recommendations and influencing. That said it does seem to offer up some truths that ring home for me.
'How I Cured My Anxiety!" ... really is now starting to sound desperate compared to today's main stream articles written by those well established in the field.
I think the link above really does give good perspective over all.
If I don't snap out of it soon, I think I will join the ranks of many others and go back on meds. My issue stand with the current system of always having to be sick in order to receive ongoing help. Not quite that simple, yet simple enough for those who've been in the system labeled for many years; decades.
How to break that cycle is not a part of the article - you find many written on that. At least not by those in the industry.

MONDAY - Tomorrow I see the therapist whom as you now I no longer trust. I hope to hear back today from the mentor fella. I will txt him for a reply this morning. I really am done with all this system and want out. Alas ... I see what happens tomorrow and will share. I am just as concerned about making myself understand with the GP on the following day.
On these two matters I admit my head is spinning, but that fact in no way should be used to minimise my points. Sadly such symptoms are quickly pointed out that our concerns are none other than twisted perceptions and that my friends is where we sufferers are commonly misunderstood. I know what others mean when saying such things and not closed to the point of maladjusted perception through persistent anxiety, but you know when such statements come from from an angle know as calling cards when all involved become frustrated with high levels of dysfunctional communication which in my case is happening more and more.
My angle I think is going to be ... instead of taking medication, I will seek to use the personal support for ongoing appointments due to this inability of my said twisted perception so that I can be sure to be clear and convey much of what Is said in this thread.
Yea sounds like a plan ... I think I better know how to follow up on this request for personally support re these Gps and said health care professionals. I no longer feel able to effectively answer their questions without support. I think all of the above makes for a good point what there are some of us that need such services when it comes to personal helpers and mentors. At first I was resistant and considered it extreme - that I be more like a retard for allowing myself to end up in such need. Being able to articulate has often been thrown back in my face. It's now been said up to a point that I really feel I can no longer articulate for myself. It's funny how that's happened ... it's really pissed me off. That's why I now feel more mute when fronting up to places of so called help.
My strengths are not being ashamed to speak up in here and tell it like it is. Help is out there ... I am not saying it's not ... I'm just sinking in another level of complexity that exists more for longer term 'claimants' - 'dependents' - 'byproduct' and the damage that arises from that having to repeat your story, the lack of record keeping, misinformation and so on. This feeling of having to fit the prerequisites under a system that requires many checks and balances in what is still a stigmatized filed - Mental Illness - only adds to the fear within the angst itself.
There is some form of relief to be found in the local facilities popping up where mentally effected people can socialize in a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere. That I am thankful for. We need a lot more of them. Sometimes I wonder how twisted the perception of the well adjusted are towards such services and wonder if society would do better to put more focus on assessing it's own point of view. Sigh ...
Thx for listening.
