As a fellow social anxiety sufferer... I just want you to know that I am VERY proud of how far you have come in dealing with your anxieties!! You have MUCH to be proud of, my friend!!! You are sooo right that once you started going into the office a couple times a month... you started to be comfortable in that setting. This is like anything in life if we don't practice it and/or use it we will MOST definitely lose it!!! In essence we have to walk through ANY fears we have in order to overcome them... I know, I know, MUCH easier said then done!!! Unfortunately, after MANY years of working on my self-esteem and feeling pretty darn good in my own skin... for me, as I am sure many others here, A LOT of my social anxieties returned with my health issues... especially as I started retreating from social situations, and I was no longer using the skills I had developed!!! I pray A TON and I pray for the same exact SPECIFIC things you've asked us to pray for, for you; acceptance, courage, dignity, grace and confidence. I even ask God to speak for me, through me and with me before I go into ANY social setting!!! Then I "trust", I "trust" that if God brings me to it, He will bring me through it and He definitely has!!!! He will do the same for you too, I'm 100% sure of it!!! I also found and fell in ABSOLUTE love with an AMAZING Essential Oil Roller Ball Blend that is called Liquid Chill..!!! It has helped me immensely!!! I apply it EVERY morning to the underside of both wrists and behind/underneath my ears, basically where a woman would apply perfume. (Essential Oils are actually the ONLY perfume I will wear, EVER!!!) Then I also will apply throughout the day when and if I feel the need... most days, I don't but when I do you can bet my Liquid Chill Roller goes EVERYWHERE I go!!! The blend consists of the following incredibly powerful oils.... Valor - This blend was formulated to balance energies and instill courage, confidence and self-esteem. It helps the body self-correct both it's balance and alignment. Returns us to the way God intended us to be!! Stress Away - Is a gentle fragrant blend that brings a feeling of peace and tranquility and helps relieve daily stress and nervous tension. It helps with normal everyday stress, improves mental response, restores equilibrium, promotes relaxation and lowers hypertension. Vetiver - Is psychologically grounding, calming and stabilizing. It helps us cope from emotional trauma. (Which I believe we all have and need after our battle against toxic disease!) It is also historically known for its anti inflammatory properties. Patchouli - Is a relaxant that clarifies thoughts, allowing the discarding of jealousies, obsessions and insecurities. It is also anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, insecticidal, prevents wrinkles, chapped skin AND relieves itching. Lavender - It is no surprise that this is referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of oils, there are over 1,000 uses for Lavender. I'm only listing a few... :). It is known to be calming, relaxing, and balancing BOTH physically and emotionally. Lavender has been documented to improve concentration, mental acuity, depression,cognitive performance AND soooo much more. This Roller Ball Blend alone has changed my life and "truly" made me a believer that Essential Oils are Gods medicine!!! I would be MORE then happy to help get one of these in your hands or anyone's hands for that matter!!! Thank you for starting this thread, for sharing your story AND for allowing others a place to feel comfortable to share theirs also!!! I will MOST definitely be praying for ALL the things you asked AND more, my courageous friend!!!! "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God, I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" ~ Psalm 56:3-4 Love, Peace & MANY Prayers, Deanna | |||
