@nikki16, can you tell us a little more about the kind of anxiety you experience? What have you tried to not allow these feelings to interfere with your daily life?

Rarely is a start,
hold on to those happy feelings and thoughts
even to the point of writing them down.
Seems simple, but not always easy
especially at night? Repeat the Happy feelings
you can imagine - try writing them down and
use those to flush out the negative self-talk?
Good Luck, and "Happy" Dreams...
nikki16 night times and winter time as well can be for anyone depressing. I know how you feel about medications and being dependent on them or just how they make you feel. Have you thought about a counselor or support group to discuss any issues that you may have. It is always better to have someone or others to talk to in person as well as on this sight. It may help you with your anxiousness. What do you think?

My anxiety takes over my nights, I,m overwhelmed with thoughts & visions of almost my whole life, always thinking the worst & rarely any happy thoughts, but am mostly ok during the days.
