So this past month I've had three incidents that would normally cause me a HUGE amount of anxiety. Some of which would have normally left me anxious for hours (or a day or two). But I didn't. I just dealt with it the best way I could at the time, and that was that. Looking back, I'm proud of how I was able to keep cool.

The other day I decided to sever contact with two acquaintances on Facebook and this caused me the biggest burst of anxiety that I've felt in the past month or so. But while it was significant, it only lasted five minutes and I was able to keep my cool there too.

I know that I'm not going to be completely free of anxiety. It's a normal part of me, and always will be. I'll no doubt have some anxiety in the future but so far it seems like I've learned how to get control of it and keep it in check.

I'm really happy for you! Being able to control your anxiety is such an awesome feeling, especially for me. It's been really difficult last week for me, where I would just consistently feel anxious and let that dictate my actions and my lifestyle. I nearly ruined my relationship with two people I really care and love.

This week has been much better and I have been able to work through my negative thoughts and emotions, and in the long run, control my anxiety. It feels very accomplishing. It's hard to keep up sometimes because I feel like I am going to ruin it, but I just keep going and improving.

It's a practice and lifestyle. And I'm glad that people are working through it slowly but surely.
