Hi all,
I say "here I go again" because I thought I had cured myself of GAD some years ago after many years of dealing with bad nerves and a couple of eating phobias. Although I have had a couple of panicky events over the last few years, I have treated these as life's little tests and got over them very quickly. Then, and I don't really know why, I have had a few anxious weeks and I am finding these days increasingly difficult. I have reached a stage in my life where I am happy with very few outside stresses, so suddenly finding all the negative thoughts and physical symptoms returning so vividly has come as a bit of a shock. I am a firm believer in the teachings of Claire Weekes, and indeed practicing her methods changed my life. I know I should simply do so again but have given away the books and tapes, and find myself searching for support on the web.... So here I am.
Maybe, accepting, floating etc will work again for me soon, but it has been a while and I am definitely faltering at the moment. Having had a few years free of anxiety, I have taken on new responsibilities .... which I enjoy.... Now I obviously am pounding myself with the thoughts that I cannot do these things. Anxiety robs us of confidence.
I wondered if anyone else is experiencing a setback.
Also happy to help with anyone wanting support in the methods I have used.... The Claire Weekes method.
