I had a disturbing week for the beginning of 2007.
Honestly I did not want to tell anyone about this but after thinking it through I came to the conclusion that if I talk about panic, stress, overcoming depression and anxiety, I must also talk about myself when things are not on track.
Talking things out has been good therapy for me in the past and it has helped put my concerns and fears into perspective.

Who did I talk too$%:
First I found a great listener and let it all spill out to this person.
I did not have to go far to find her as she was only a look in the mirror away.
That is right, I talked to myself.
It was hard to admit that I was backsliding in my attitude and I got to the point where I thought I was not needing to do my anxiety busting programs and affirmations and goal setting techniques.
As with any situation in life sometimes you need to step back and evaluate where you are on the road to recovery.
Did I skip over some steps, did I not do my homework exercises or did I think I did not need to do the steps anymore$%:
I had some health issues I was dealing with and some family members were not well over the holidays and I was over tired and stretched to the limit emotionally.
All the things I knew to be triggers inviting anxiety back into my life came around.
It came back so sneakily and quickly that I was blindsided by the strength it had on my body.
I have not been an alcoholic but I can see what one might say and mean with the statement of falling off the wagon.
The equivalent to this was what I felt happened to me over the last 3 weeks.
My message here is to recognize when your life is tugging at you in all directions and be prepared to work at getting back the peace you have learned to create for yourself.
I lost a lot of ground this week with anxiety coming back.
However it is not the end and I will get back into training now.
The techniques we use to help ourselves are great ones and using them and knowing them is the key to ending, overcoming depression and anxiety for good.
Refresh your mind when the world is coming down on you and we are feeling vulnerable.
I have had to do that for myself thus adding another learning experience to my files.
We learn every day. It just depends if we are open to it and listening to our inner voice for instructions.
Like I said in the beginning, I did not want to admit that I could have a slip in my recovery from anxiety. I felt like I was letting people down and then I realized that I am accountable to myself first and foremost.
You must let yourself be human and be honest with yourself.
These two things will help put you on track again and then the ride of life will be enjoyable.
Overcoming depression and anxiety is not hopeless.
Keep networking with others and search for programs and techniques that can be adapted for each of us.
Most importantly is to reach out, take that step and tell someone how you feel.
Through communication we can receive help.
