Thank you for posting this, this has really helped me out alot. I have been battling my anxiety for 4years now, and really want to find the off switch. Since I read this post , its helped me a great deal to turning the switch off and makes a lot of sense. For the past few days I have been doing alot better with shutting it off and accepting my anxiety and have been in better moods lately, my husband and I also just got a almost 10week old labrador puppy so he keeps us busy and keeps my mind focus when taking care of him , my husband and our bird :).
so thank you again for posting this , I reread this everyone and then to just remind myself that it's all made up stories conjured up from the brain.
