I recently realized (well I guess, understood) that my anxiety is primarily a physical thing. I used to always think that I could talk myself out of it or that I was incapable of understanding why it came on me so randomly & so suddenly - until recently. I realized that my body would have a physical reaction to something and my mind would interpret it as something us, thus the vicious, anxious cycle.
today i was awaken by a painful stomach ache, and since eating a vegan diet, I have not had any stomach issues. Most of my stomach pain came from dairy - now that it's eliminated, food has become more enjoyable to me. Anyway, I woke up with an anxious stomach. I fell into a bit of a hole, with it, until I realized what was happening. My physical reaction was making my mind think these things, things that made me doubt being able to do something. I talked to my mind endlessly through it and ended up with triumph. I can't say I've scored many points with anxiety, but at least I did today. some victories
