Love Letters and Lace

Oh  My  God It's so cold.  Going outside is physically painful.  Why did I get out of bed?  My car won't start, my coffee is already cold Everything is white Everything is slippery I'm tired of shovelling And wearing 10 layers of clothes And still being cold  Why is it so cold in my house?  Will I ever be warm?  What does it feel like to be warm?  Okay in all seriousness, it's freezing outside.

If you've come here looking for some miracle cure to rid yourself of anxiety, then unfortunately you've come to the wrong place. However, if you are looking for some suggestions of some things that I have found helpful for me, then please, do read on. I've suffered with Anxiety and panic attacks for a while now. I've always been a shy and anxious person, from childhood, but as I got older, it seemed to get worse. Nowadays I can honestly say, as sad as it sounds, that it is a very real part of my every day life. It affects my relationships with other people, it affects how I feel about myself, it affects my every day functioning. And as my anxiety has become more prominent, I've begun to experience panic attacks more often as well.
