I've made great strides with overcoming my anxiety. Can't tell whether it's just a matter of getting older or if it's the medications I'm on for bipolar disorder. Probably both.
i think a little bit cause i cut down on my internet gaming/chatting to zero the past few weeks where before i can game for hours a day. and i go outside more to stores/exercise/lift weights everyday. and i tried a little bit to contact old friends with limited success unfortunately.
I'm thinking about going back to school in the fall - maybe that will help me make some "progress". My last stint at school didn't do anything for my SA, but this time I'll have more experience coming with me, so who knows..
Yep, I'm making a lot of progress thanks to Albert Ellis's How to Make Yourself Happy and Remarkably Less Disturbable, Edmund Bourne's The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, the support of my therapist, and various other sources. I think I'm going to make even more progress when I put even more effort into my exposure therapy, which is the key to recovery.
Very steady progress, so slow in fact that I can't ever see myself as being "normal" before I die.
