No change. Searing anxiety and fear. I promise not to dip today.
MN/2,788 - to quote the master Samwise Gamgee, "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you." While we obviously can't quit for you or take away the struggles with anxiety and fear, know we are here to support you in whatever ways we can. One day at a time Steve.

Day 183
 Anxiety, Depression, Anhidonia and now some pretty bad muscle spasms in my back and neck.
I promise no dip today.
worktowin 4,005.  Horrible football night last night, all the way around.  But life goes on.  I'm honored to quit with you today, brother.

Sitting here at lunch and the anxiety has turned into full blown fear. Trying my hardest not to have a full blown panic attack. It feels like it will never end. Wish I never took that first dip so many years ago. Stupid kid!!!
Not what I was hoping to see when I popped back in here but wanted to offered a tool my therapist offered to me at one point when it came to controlling anxiety. Find an object that you can engage as many of the senses as possible. What does it feel like? Smell like? Look like? etc. Another tool is to identify five things in your surroundings that you can hear, see, feel, smell, etc. I started to have anxiety in the grocery store one time and grabbed a peach and went through the exercise. Focusing on the tangible can help ease the racing mental thoughts that often times have no grounds in reality.
