Anxiety Self Help

Oh Weekends...
I always feel like I should be doing more, trying harder and pushing myself more on the weekends. Today I went tanning, to the farmer's market and to the gym. Which is good, considering I woke up with anxiety and really the last thing I wanted to do was go out. But at times like this, when my anxiety and panic are really bad, I'm just so hard on myself!
I find myself thinking "Yeah, I did this and that, but it'd be great if I could do this". I texted my shrink and she said she may be well enough to come back to work this next week, which is good news.
I took a nap at 7:30 which I shouldn't have done, because now I'll definitely be up all night, but I needed it. A package came this morning and woke me up Grrrr. And I've had no caffiene alllllll day.

My Comments From: Chantale Apr 15 2012, 10:10 am Sounds like a great and productive day! Good for you. My therapist has always said to me that the words "should have" or "could have" should not be used because it stores negativity and sometimes failure in our subconscious. Instead try saying "I wish..." I've always found this phrase to work because it removes any pressure the "could haves or should haves" put on me. Be proud that you had such a productive day! Take care. From: jamesFake Apr 15 2012, 3:34 am good job You did a lot today:) I wish I had as productive day as yours...
