Sending you happy thoughts and well wishes!!

Sometimes the anxiety takes over and it’s too strong for us to beat back and it hangs on and doesn’t want to let go. I hate when that happens! You can get through it though. It takes effort but I know you can make it go away. You’re stronger than it is!

I used to get these phases a lot. I still do occasionally. For me, the helpless, depressive, anxious feeling was linked to wanting someone to come and rescue me, to make things better for me. As a child this would happen if I was helpless enough – but as an adult it’s a pretty useless emotion :-)

Of course I was lucky – I didn’t have a chemical imbalance, depression, or anything like that.

Sit with it and see where it takes you. Write a little story about it, just off the top of your head. Imagine you are the sad little thing as an animal – write about that and see what comes out.

I think these sorts of anxieties come up to keep us grounded, in the here and now and focused on the things we think need ‘fixing’. I think its great you took the time to go outside and enjoy whats around you—even with all the stressors of the world on our backs, its always good to go outside, take a deep breath and try to realign. You’ll find that becomes so therapeutic.

I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you!
