    Smile some progress ;)

    Hi you guys! I usually just write here when everything is dark and hopeless, so now I wan't to share a happy feeling with you:

    I just got higher levels of anxiety cause of catasrophy thinking, and then I sat down to go through what was happening in my body. And then I thought, not to calm myself, the thought just came to me - "it's just anxiety. nothing dangerous is happening or is going to happen." And then I felt/thought "I am not afraid of anxiety anymore." And I do belive it's the first time, ever, in my whole life that I've had that thought!!!

    I know I'm not free from the fear of anxiety, off course not, I've had that fear for mabye 20 years and it won't just go away like that. But I think this is kind of a historical moment. And since some people here helped me reach this point I wanted to share it with you guys

    All my love to you!!!
