You Have to Do the Work...

[PanicCured]

f you want to overcome your issues it is going to take hard work and lots of uncomfortable situations. I have lived with anxiety for as long as I can remember and the only way it ever improved was with effort.

Effort can include things like finding a medication that works for you and it doesn't discount the fact that your problems are real. If you are overweight you have to diet to lose weight it doesn't just happen, if you have a cold you rest and take medicine and if you suffer with anxiety you must also take measures to overcome it.

Yep! So great! Maybe you can write more about how you took initiative and the steps you took to getting better. It's so fundamentally simple but it really is a huge stumbling block to take initiative. I think some people simply had not been told how to do it, as they see anxiety as some far out disease that only media professionals can help, and don't know that they need to take initiative.

I do believe many people do not want to get better, as they had become identified with anxiety. For those people, they will fight you when you offer solutions because they actually want the limitations. It may be subconscious, but nevertheless, I really do believe this denial is very prevalent with people for many things, not just anxiety.

Whenever Panic posts it turns into an all out war.

If you notice, I'm really cool to people that offer beneficial content to other readers of this site, but everything I every post no matter where, Gypsylee has to come invade, offer nothing but insults and stupid jokes, yet complain how much she hates what I wrote and tries to insult me. Isn't that like hating a TV show but continuing to watch it and complain how much you hate it every week? Why doesn't she just change the channel?
