Anxiety Is Pissing Me Off Tonight!

[Saint Nik]

My sister is a reiki master @KwanYingirl and some days when she tries her healing on me it can help. Sometimes it doesn't. Meditation can help too. I just wish I wasn't aware of it. It's like trying to forget I have PTSD. . .but it only turns out to be the pink elephant in the room! Nightmare! lol
You sound like you have been going through hell yourself. Well done though, honestly I take my hat off to you for how well you have been coping!
I agree with you though, I can't help feel it's a complete mind set. The mind somehow over the trauma has been re-programmed into being super, highly alert and seems to think a thought is trouble, our shadow is danger in itself. . . and BOOM the adrenaline rush happens and the body just goes into this frantic and frenzied state!
So stressful! I just can't remember a time when this never plagued me. Has it always been with us? Were we just not complaining enough about it back then? lol I can't help wonder!
:unsure:

Yes I believe I have been anxious my entire life starting at age 4. I was raped for many years. And an alcoholic brutal father and a useless mother who never stood up for us. These are deep, deep wounds.

@KwanYingirl I am very sorry to hear about your difficulty and distressful life in the past. I so hope you are meeting with your peace now and able to look forward and never back :hug:

I am so sorry you had to go through that. This is exactly what happened to me, too.
