Everything Isn’t So Bad
Cheer up you because I know you feel like your on the never ending train wreck from hell (anxiety disorder). But alas everything is not as bad as it seems.

How To Defeat Negative Thinking

Well I think that this is in fact not true. You've heard all the cliche's before, the shortest distance between two places is a straight line or how about the best solution is usually the most simple one so on and so forth.

Not Thinking Too Hard Is Good
Thinking is something we all do all the time. There is no way to stop the incessant chatter that is the soundtrack to everything we do. Should I eat this? Or should I eat that?
