Hi all,

I just had the best month in a long time in terms of managing my anxiety. The main strategy that I was using was simply letting go and shrugging off anxiety and continuing with my day. It has helped immensely and October was significantly better than I had thought it would be. 

Now it’s November. We’re three days in. My anxiety has been significantly louder than before and my “letting go” strategy is not working as easily as it used to last month. I am wondering why that is. My anxiety is more intense now and thoughts circle around and around. 

Maybe I’m holding myself to too high of a standard and expecting myself to be the same, if not better, than last month. I know that healing is not linear, but there’s this internal conflict where I’m telling myself everything is okay and I believe it, and then a few minutes later my brain says the opposite. 

Anyone feel like this?
