I suffer
PTSD chronic depression and anxiety I have sort out professional help and it is
on going. Due to government requirements there is only so much the people who
are helping can do.
After
discussions with my therapist we talked about anxiety paradox. Simply put, I am
trying to do too many things at once placing a lot of pressure on myself to
achieve my goals quickly. This all stems partly from my empathy and
professional attitude towards getting things done.
We or
rather I decided to stop or try to stop becoming overly concerned about under
achieving (by MY standards) and concentrate on getting back on track and
looking at the positives of where I am at and how far I have come. Although I
have only attempted doing this for a couple of weeks my wife and I have noticed
that I deal with issues a lot better two slip ups and only minor increase in
anxiety which in turn effected my efforts to reduce drinking only marginally.
I would
usually be quite annoyed with myself, however I realise that what I am suffering
from and what I want to achieve is going to take time.
