Hi Chrystal36! So good to hear from you, and it's encouraging too. Where is everyone else? Maybe anxiety has taken a vacation? Wouldn't that be wonderful?
I am absolutely the same way about staying busy...I was just thinking about that tonight. I've been super busy lately, and coincidently I haven't had as much anxiety. I don't have time to dwell. As soon as things slow down, my mind begins to wander and I start to obsess. What was that pain...is that an ache...etc. I love to do crafts too! I like to knit, scrapbook, almost anything. I love to read too. When you have something to constantly do it's very beneficial. We're doing something for someone else, and keeping our minRAB busy. It's a win-win. Being idle isn't good for anyone, but for those of us with anxiety it's worse.
I'm so proud of you Chrystal36! You're doing an amazing job of coping, and you're objectively looking at the root causes of your anxiety. That's wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your encouraging progress!
How's everyone else doing? Please update us!
