Kazbah you're absolutely right (again ), overanalysing and overthinking is what got me here in the first place. All that matters is that I felt better after chatting with her.
I just need to keep telling myself - Dont sweat the small stuff!!
Congratulations on seeing a counsellor. In the past few months I have finally come to the realisation that I think I suffer from anxiety, your fairly normal stuff I completely over analyse everything, I'm yet to get the courage to see someone so I take my hat of to you for taking the first step.
Good luck with your next appointment and I'm sure things will come clearer with time.
Megs, trust me... I know how hard it is to take the first step, but I highly recommend it. Even if they don't solve all your problems right away, just having someone impartial who doesn't judge or know you to spill your guts to can be sooo helpful.
I hadn't let myself cry since the birth of our baby, and just being able to cry in a 'safe' place was fantastic!
I find that getting grounded and 'back in my body' gets me out of my overactive brain
Yoga and breathing exercises work best for me, I feel calmer and more in the present when I do these regularly. If I really seriously need to get something out I write it all down instead. Just let it all spill on to the paper and see if it clarifies anything for me... then let it go.
Probably good to give the counsellor a chance as Kazbah suggested too. Great that you are going - anxiety can be so draining!
OH just realised last post on this was in August!! You can tell I haven't been on this forum before Hope it went well for you anyway Connie (and congrats on your BFP!!!!).
