New Year apprehension

@DesertRat Hi DesertRat (love the name btw) I try not to think about it because when I do I automatically get stressed and anxious ..... so I tend to take every day as it comes and not dwell on even next week afterall we could all be hit by a comet and be completely wiped out so what was the point of all the worrying :)xx

@DesertRat I use the CBT questions - What if ... happens? If it does happen ... what will I do ...? So what? - sounds a bit like your 'where's the evidence' process - I find that if I have a plan to deal with what I'm most anxious about my anxiety diminshes and it usually doesn't come to be, and if it does I handle it better.

Thank you @Bunniekins & @eth ..

I’m trying to keep your words in mind.

it looks like I may have to stay home for Xmas and not share it with my parents in Kangaroo Island so I’m distracting myself with music atm..

@DesertRat Hi DesertRat there are always people around the forum at Christmas so you won't be alone if you want to say hello.xxx

Good to know @Bunniekins , I'll keep that in mind..

Things look like I'll be able to have my holiday now but I'll still drop in here to share some festivity

@DesertRat it will be great to see you then 🙂
