I feel like I get nervous or anxious at least once a day. At least, I used to. I thought it was normal until someone told me how sad that was. I feel like I have grown so much in the last year for the better and I am finally becoming able to overcome those anxieties, but I still have moments of anxiety, I would love to talk to you about it sometime. I can totally relate. I have grown up with a lot of anxiety, mainly around people but that stems from a lot of things. I feel like I get nervous or anxious at least once a day. At least, I used to.

Great post, thank you for sharing :) I completely understand your dilemma with how much is too much to share. I, too, suffered from anxiety and disordered eating following a sexual assault a few years ago. After years of therapy and positive reinforcement, I've learned to love myself again and wash myself clean of my negative thoughts (most of the time.) I run a site called Project Bare, where each day I tell something I used to be afraid to admit about my past (ie; eating problems, anxiety, drinking, etc.) and encourage other women to share their stories as well so they too can try to move past their problems and feel the relief that I've felt. Next week, I'll be moving to a week-long topic format for my "reveals" and I'm hoping that soon I can do a week on anxiety. I would LOVE to do an interview with you since you're a successful woman who has overcome her problems to be a great role model for young women. Would you consider this? Please feel free to email me back if you'd like to talk more. I would love to pick your brain as a fellow blogger on women's issues. Thanks!! HI!

Sounds lofty, but its true, and pretty base. Being connected to supportive friends also helps me, and laughter, is really important in times of great anxiety.

In fact I can't think of a time in my life when I have not been! This is actually why I moved to Maui many years ago :-) Anyway, I'm pretty stressed again at the moment....changing jobs, dealing with a terrible economy and trying to unload some real estate in this depressed market. However, I've been trying REALLY hard to breath, surf and enjoy my beautiful island as much as possible.....these times will pass. They always do....Aloha, xo I’m stressed out all the time.

I suffer from anxiety myself. In fact, the fact you haven't posted yet worried me (thoughts like, I hope Angela is ok) - Maybe I'm just a worrier :) Thanks for sharing this with us.

An "ANT" is an Automatic Negative Thought, and when one pops in their head they imagine squashing the "ant" and proclaim an opposite statement. For example, "I'm going to fail this test." SQUASH! "I am going to do my very best on this test." I cut out pictures of ants and let them literally stomp on them when they are learning the technique. They love it! I realize you aren't an eight year old, but getting in the habit of swapping a negative thought for a positive one can be helpful. (and thinking of grown-ups running around stomping on "ants" makes me giggle which is also anxiety-reducing!)

I admire your courage to put your feelings out there like that. I struggle with anxiety and OCD and I completely understand where your coming from. We just have to recognize the times that this is happening and handle it with positivity. I listen to Christina Aguilera song “Beautiful” and that really helps. Thank you!!
