Y'all I swear stress sneaks up on me. I'm plugging along, loving my life and BAM!, right in the middle of a great day an anxiety attack hits. I have to be the most blessed woman ever. I have my dream job. I have three amazing kids, a wonderful spiritual family, and a diverse natural family. I am also blessed to have lots of great friends despite the fact that I am not always the most dependable friend due to fibro. I live in a town who's views are the same as mine and I don't have to worry about… read more
When a negative thought comes into my head , I try to find evidence for and against it ... I play devils advocate ... For example ... If I think I'm not strong enough ... I will think of times I have been strong and discredit the negative thought with evidence based reasoning. If there's also been times when Iv been beat I consider those too ... Accept it and make a "baby steps " plan to strengthen myself in that area .... By the end I feel I'm not perfect but I'm damn well near it! Ps self doubt is what makes us human ... Accept it deal with and move xx
You all have really touched me this morning. Truly blessed my heart. Continue to find strength in the Lord, that too is how I get through everyday and situation. God bless 💜
I think most of us have one of those voices that says were not cute enough, smart enough, or something else. Every time I hear them start I just try to block it out or say something positive about myself. How about putting on ear buds with some of your favorite music or going for a walk and find a beautiful spot to visit.
I am there, often. My life is truly blessed---career I always wanted (Children's Librarian), 3 smart sons, husband who works hard strongly spiritual family and friends. Yet, I find myself having shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, and panicky thoughts that I am going to fail, miserably, and my library families will think I'm a fraud or that my husband will stop loving me because I'm not worthy of love. It's so scary. I walk away from the desk, sit down, and pray. I also list my qualifications for my job, and all the reasons people love me. I also accept that it will happen again and that I can handle all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I hope this helps. Gentle hugs.
You have my prayers. Yes l too get though thoughts but l think of one my favorite scripture from the Bible. And that help me so much. Hope l helped alittle. Stay so blessed. 🌺
