overcome anxiety

man, i can say, my life changed completely this year. i’ve been fought anxiety for over 12 months now, on my own and it’s been painful and hard, but, man, it’s really worth.

i found joy in life, i found myself at ease doing things i’ve always wanted to do but i was always afraid. and it’s amazing.

i’ve been anxiety attacks free for about 5 months i guess. and i can say that it got a lot better since i’ve started acupuncture. the best i ever tried against anxiety.

i think i just have some tests to do, facing some fears i’ve had like forever, to see how much of anxious i’ll get.

i have a lot of flaws and i’m always focusing on them to overcome them and be a better person. but, i can’t overcome my anxiety, be confident, stand up for myself and relax if i don’t be sure of all my strenghts and qualities. things to keep in mind:

- focus on my strengths and qualities
- keep positive thinking
- stop thinking about other people reactions (specially my mom’s)
- ignore other people’s expectations about my life: i’m the only person in control of my life and my frustations affect only myself
- focus on what can be done today (might be my last day afterall)

i’ve progressed a lot during this year. some anxiety still bothers me, probably it comes from the fears i still have. i’m able to face them, but step by step.

well, i already overcame my anxiety crisis and all those psychossomatic symptons i used to have when i had to deal with it. now i feel a lot better, i started to deal a lot better with situations, understanding that i’m not perfect, learning to laugh of myself and taking everything less seriously. i’m halfway there.

in my former account i had this goal as accomplished because i’ve really achieved lots of things and i did overcome my attacks. but right now i think i still have anxiety, not as serious as i used to have but i can’t consider it overcame. right now i can really see what made me have all those psychosomatic diseases and i’m dealing with my mind now, finding peace of mind so i can really get away from all the anxiety. i think i can’t consider this done as long as i don’t finish facing all my fears. things to keep in mind:

• face my fears
• get out of my comfort zone
• stand up for myself
