When you doubt what you know, when you don’t trust yourself, it fosters a sense of desperation.

So you end up searching for relief in other people.<br /><br /><br />I don’t believe that reaching out to others for information or reassurance is wrong. There’s no doubt that sometimes you need someone else to help ground you.<br /><br /><br />But this can’t be your only option. Why? Because when the shit hits the fan you are alone. Maybe not physically, but in your mind, in the midst of your fear, you are alone.<br /><br /><br />And although you may have wonderful people in your life that can offer reassurance they can’t be there for you 100% of the time.<br /><br /><br />People have to work, they move, even die. You must become your own go-to person. You have to learn how to be there for yourself.<br /><br /><br />Before you start the process though, you have to understand a few things.<br /><br /><br />Like the fact that when anxiety and panic strike you’re hit with a lot more than symptoms.<br /><br /><br />You second guess yourself at every possible turn. You don’t believe the positive things you tell yourself, which causes all your carefully researched anxiety facts to go flying out the window when you need them most.<br /><br /><br />You end up betrayed by your intuition and fall victim to the fear emanating from your gut.<br /><br /><br />Not because you want this, it’s just what happens when you become immersed in anxiety and don’t trust your body, your mind, or your ability to repel the effects of anxiety.<br /></span></div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;
