I keep wishing that Ill wake up one day and this anxiety and all the symptoms will be gone. Then I can go out and start being normal and do things like I used to. It's so depressing when tommorow comes and its still there and I cant do anything. However I have no choice but to keep going and hope one day the anxiety and all the crap with it will be gone. Anyone else get depressed that thier anxiety might never be gone? I think its all we got sometimes that tommorow things will be different.

You know what? I'm ok if my anxiety never goes away, but I won' be ok if it stays the same. I think it's healthy to be a little anxious, unfortunately, we have extreme amounts of it. That's what I can't live with. But I know what you mean, try not to get to down about it. That's only going to feed it more.

for example, I have a lot of fun from just anticipating events before i actually do them, because my thoughts are so cyclic. Sure anxiety sucks but you cant have the good without the bad. Hehe whats cool is I'm already trying to think how this message will be recieved. I love my world

Yea I’m ok with the anxiety too; I can live with it forever. Anxiety is just an emotion, however, my bodies whacked out fight or flight response to anxiety is something Id like to get a hold of. For so long I was overreacting to anxiety and my body was getting all these weird symptoms like pounding heart, shortness of breath, sweaty palms, dizziness etc... Actually it’s a long story but it all started when I had a lot of turmoil in my life and my body never really came down from that anxious time (prolly because it lasted so long). Anyway now I’m Learning to control my body's reaction to things and not let my body over responds to anxious moments and I’m starting to get back to normal. Still it’s such a ***** sometimes. I’m just waiting for the day when Ill be "normal" like I was before. Keeping a positive attitude isnt a bad idea, it will for sure give you more strength then always being down!
