Everyday little triggers remind you how far you have come. Today I realized what has helped me is to break tasks down into baby steps. One thing at a time, sounds easier said than done. I found myself thinking about all that was required of me today, I could feel that tight feeling in my neck and chest. Quickly I made a list, after that I felt I was making big progress as I crossed off each one.
Suffering from Anxiety and Depression makes you look at the whole picture. I would easily get overwhelmed and sink deeper into myself. My feeling are more controllable if I keep a daily list of tasks and cross them off as I do them. I have started carrying a small note pad in my purse. Great for my daily to do, thoughts, and ideas that the day has given me.
Start tomorrow with the first thing on your "list" it may be as simple as get out of bed. Focus on what you are doing as you go along rather than the whole day at hand or the week for that matter.
Conquering your demons is a long road......start with baby steps.
