    I have suffered from anxiety all my life!

    Anyways, I have discovered a new method of thinking which I have been testing the past few days and it is really helping me.
    In short, I have learned to use the left side of my brain more than my right.
    Let me give you an example ;
    Today, I seen a Garda car pass me. I always start to have a mini panic attack when this happens for some reason but today as the Garda car passed me I was looking at it in a very different way and was very calm and not phased by it at all.
    Now, this is where it gets hard to put into words!!!
    You have to change your way of thinking, ie, get rid of the school of thought "I am this, I am that, she/he is that, you/she/he did that".

    You think you are you and everything else around you is seperate from you hence the "bad" anxiety you feel. Well, you have to get into your head that you are not you! You, are just millions of atoms all vibrating at once. Thats what "you" really are and you are connected to every other atom on the planet (Stay with me)..
    Going back to the garda car, when it passed me by, all I seen was a big bunch of atoms stuck together (the same stuff im made of) and they where white, blue and yellow in colour. In short again, I was not phased or felt any anxiety when the garda car passed by.
    Also, I walked into a pub (I have social anxiety really bad) and for the first time in my life, I sat at the counter beside all these other millions of vibrating atoms and i ordered a pint of atoms (hands didnt shake when i was drinking from it either :D) and I started talking to the bunch of atoms around (The other people that where sitting at the bar, total strangers to me) and I was just nice and felt a great peace and love (It was like been stoned i guess but I wasnt).

    Anyways, mabey someone will get help from this like I have (I know most of you wont get it and will think im some sort of eijet but please watch this video below) Goodnight x

    Hey there 02572,

    PI is an advice forum for posters to ask for advice on specific issues in their personal lives from other posters, rather than a general giving of advice forum...we also have a rule that YouTube videos are not permitted. You can view the PI/RI charter HERE.

    We have a Phobias forum which has threads/posts on anxiety which you may wish to read/post on - as well as a Long Term Illness forum which also may be of interest/use to you though each forum has it's own charter which is always worth a read prior to posting.

    As this isn't a PI, I'm locking this thread.

    All the best.

    Ickle:cool:
