It didn't visit itself upon me over night tho.
I kinda had to work pretty hard for my first year or so to get there and challenge a lot of negative self talk to stay there.

Mental patterns of 30 years or so don't change quickly...but they can change. Have faith

Yes Dee,

I guess I have a lot to work on emotionally......The habits of anxiety are persistent....like you said, they get easier to deal with as time goes by....But like anxiety, it sometimes gets hard to separate ration with irrational thinking and feelings, especially when I don't feel that 'normal' way.

Thanks
