Hey Mizzbeeutiful :)

That is how it is with this dd my friend. . . One step forward and two steps back at times. It comes down to practicing the techniques you have learned to help you over and over until they become second nature. You are doing great and there is no wrong way unless you just give up and don't try at all :)

Everything will be okay. . . if you have not done this already, check out our Anxiety-Panic Resources thread at the top of our forum. There are several great links on there for different ways to combat your Scary/Warpy Thoughts :) We also have a thread on this that you might want to read and learn some techniques from as well :)

Good luck!

When you fall off the horse you just get back on, so picture a big red stop sign and stop the crazy thoughts from taking over.  Kick them to the curb and get back on that horse.

Keep working on the CBT, you can always go back or a section if you needed to.  I have faith in you.

Gentle Hugs

Hi, there!

Remember that you probably won't have one smooth, steady climb out of the hole anxiety creates in our lives. Sometimes, there will be potholes in the road. Accept them for just that, though: they're not total roadblocks, they won't completely stop your growth -- they just slow you down for a bit and make you think, "Hey, Why does that thing have to be there? It could have messed up my car (day)." You will have good days again, and you will likely have not-so-good ones that you are slowly learning how to manage.

I think overcoming our anxiety doesn't mean having it vanish; I think it means learning how not to let it prevent us from living the lives we want.

Thanks, you guys are so helpful, I think the fact that I didn't get much sleep last night and then had class this morning also contributed to the issue, I'm gonna go back to MoodGym when I'm done with some of my work to restore my positive thoughts ;-) and try to avoid confrontations with him late at night also because I know that's not helpful at all.
