I know my mind has to be believing, my thoughts positive, my self talk calming. My physical condition is negatively impacted by stress in a downward degenerative spiral. My latest “undies in a bundle” involves renewal of my drivers license. I have balance issues while standing(ataxia), the DMV referred for me to get medical approval to have my license renewed. I texted my GP , and asked please, please don’t say I shouldn’t have a drivers license. Please let me take a road test to prove that I am in control when seated. Now I’m anxious what the GP will recommend. If I’ll be calm enough during the road test to do well.. and the most anxious producing concern is what in the h@ll I’m going to do if I lose my license.( I live alone, in a rural community with no public transportation)
I'm hanging right in there with the rest of you regarding anxiety in general but also with the aging process. It doesn't help that I have White Coat Syndrome and start getting anxious when going to doctor appointments (blood pressure with always be elevated). I try to keep the Serenity Prayer close in thought, but that doesn't always help. I've always been a worrier and wish and pray to God to help me to overcome this undesirable characteristic. Some days are better than others. I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers as we make our way through our journey.
Namaste,
