Totally “Off Track” and feeling it!
May 7th, 2008 by Michelle
This past week has been both good and bad. I LOVE my new apartment! Its bigger, nicer, I have my own office, my son has his own room, I have a garage (just to name a few) but I have been felling out of sorts. My anxiety levels are high to the point where I was trying to talk myself out of bringing my son to his dentist appointment. But I went to Starbucks and MADE myself take him to his dentist appointment, even though it was a waste of time because now he has to go to a pediatric dentist that sedates but the point is I WORKED THROUGH MY ANXIETY. I did what I had to do in fear. By the time I got home I had felt like I ran a marathon! Anxiety and depression takes a whole lot of energy away from you! I came home and slept for 3 hours straight. I guess it didn’t help that I worked until midnight the night before and was up at 6AM.
On my radio show this Saturday I hope to talk a little about “Doing it in fear” and working through the fear to accomplish what you need to do. If you continually let fear rule you it is a sure fast way to agoraphobia. Working through anxiety before it reaches the point of agoraphobia is so much easier than waiting until you can’t walk out the front door because fear and anxiety has a grip on you. I know I lived with agoraphobia for a long time.
One thing is for certain! I will NEVER let my anxiety get to the point where I am afraid to get a gallon of milk at the store again! If I can show one person who reads this blog how to break through anxiety then I have accomplished my purpose of this blog!
