Isolation is not your friend.
Isolation can lead to more anxiety, depression, and even a less fulfilled life.
Many of you isolate to cope with intense anxiety. I used to do the same thing. When I used to get panicked – especially at night – I’d run to my room and close the door. I’d lay down for hours waiting for the anxiety to lift so that I could continue doing whatever I needed to.
Eventually I reached a point where I could resist the urge to isolate. I learned that the more I challenged the urge to be alone the easier it became to do and the better I felt as a result.
I understand why people isolate when they’re anxious… but there is a better way to handle your worries, symptoms, and negative thoughts.
I produced a short podcast on isolation to help you get a good grip on this comfy but hurtful behavior.
Fantastic advice! I look forward to the members site as well. Thank you for everything you do!
You’re welcome colortini.
I’m really excited about the members site as well. Can’t wait to launch it. =)
Hi Paul.. I just wanted to say that I love your site. I had severe panic attacks about 9mths ago & have been dealing with anxiety since, I haven’t had a panic attack in several months. I still have anxiety, however I’m learning to cope with the anxiety & have made some changes in my life for the better. But I wanted to say reading your posts has been fantastic, there is so much negative and wrong information on the net about anxiety, that it is refreshing and great that someone is putting the right information out there & using there own experiences. So THANKYOU 🙂
You bet ezziie, it’s my great pleasure to serve people with anxiety. Truly is. =)
Thank you Mr.Paul I understand little bit because of lake of English but it will hope to improve myself.
