Post One day at a time

Hi! When I found out that my mind was causing me all my problems it all made sense. Keeping watch all the time for any new symtoms made me crazy. My mind created such fear that my adrenalin was going full throttle all the time. My thoughts kept me fearful thus more adrenalin. I was caught up in the fear adrenalin cycle. The hardest thing for me was to let go. The thing that our mind grabs on to becomes the most important it doesn't matter if it is causing us grief. Realizing my mind is just a old computer and I was feeding it a lot of negative information was a real awakening. Thank you for listening.

I agree, the problem is sometimes it's hard to control the physical symptoms even though your telling your mind that there's nothing wrong.

The human being is a complex machine, shame no one can find the original design documents!

Thank you for your reply. It was appreciated. It was very difficult for me to understand I didn't have to fight it anymore. I gave in and surrendered to the horrible feelings and when I surrendered and let them flow through me no matter how bad it become, it quietened my adrenalin. My fear was the culprit. I know it is so hard to trust when your mind is racing but if you don't put second fear into it by saying "Oh my, what if's etc. it does work. It takes time and acceptance of the feelings. As soon as you hear yourself saying those words "Oh my, what if, etc. you have started the adrenalin flow thus the cycle. You get the first fear but you can stop second fear. There will be times as soon as your nerves are not so sensitized you will feel good again. It's so hard to not believe that there is not something else doing this to us. In reality we are doing it to ourselves. That is after all the medical trips to the doctors office have told us we are normal. One day at a time and sometimes one moment at a time. Blessings!

i think i am at that stage of my anxiety too. i feel like surrendering to all my fears and it somewhat has somewhat made my symptoms not as bad but lately I have been feeling that if I surrender then I will end up in a mental hospital or something. I'm really torn apart right now and I just hope and pray I pull through.

you will pull through because you are not fighting and you are surrendering which stops the adrenalin process. Stop feeding your mind with what you think will happen. I know it feels like feelings and thoughts are one but you have to have the thought first before you get the feeling. Don't be bluffed by the feelings. Trust yourself to know you will not go crazy or need to go to a mental hospital. It's all about adrenalin and the fear of it. When I stopped feeding my mind fear and what if's I let go and gave my body rest and peace. It's all the negative woulda, coulda shoulda stuff that keeps us sick. I know I have been there Blessings!
