Can you give us some examples of the anxious thoughts you're having? Try to distance yourself from them if you can, or counter them with more reasonable thoughts. Keep reminding yourself that what you are going through is only temporary, and you will feel better in a little while. Just step back and let the thoughts pass by as you get on with the rest of your day. I'm not too experienced in anxiety, but I hope this helps!

I'm new to all this but when my anxiety/obsessive thoughts kick in the only thing that kind of helps is to imagine the me I was/want to be. I imagine how I look, how I'm smiling, what I'm wearing etc. Then I imagine Ooober Sarah talking me through it.... Well actually she seems to bark orders more than talk but thats what I need :D Recently she's been helping me adjust to the meds. Like, reminding me to eat or focus or move. To remember that I'm not going crazy just because of a little pill.

Sometimes it's not just a realistic me, it's a me as a character in a TV how I like (Major Sarah Sassybot from Stargate Command for example lol).

Still waiting on my referral for counselling so don't know if it's the right thing to do but it does help sometimes. There are sometimes when it's crippling and I can't make Ooober Sarah materialize.

I don't know if it's relevant to you but at least having a giggle at my insanity might take your mind off things for a bit :) x
