Maybe a difference of mindset:
Loneliness-instead of thinking how alone we are, embrace the idea that this is the time to grow within ourselves and experience things that we might enjoy~Me time.
Insomnia: Do we become so caught up in the idea that we cannot sleep that we are too anxious to sleep. Read, listen to soft music or day dream at night to relax.
FEAR: Develop a plan for yourself that will take you away from the situation. Many fears are from what we imagine and not the reality of the situation. Have a connection to your support person or group close at hand. Talk it out. The daylight often brings a clearer view than nighttime. Search the internet for facts. Learn to control the fear and not let the fear control you.

Today's quote really made me think. At first I didn't really like it and yet I realized to some degree it makes sense.Still having a hard time soaking in the loneliness part. Would love to have your input or thoughts about it.

Today's quote is another one that speaks to me.

Quote for Aug 19,2011

"I refuse to be burdened by vague worries. If something wants to worry me, it will have to make itself clear."

-Robert Brault


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think this says so much about general anxiety. So many times we (myself included) feel anxious for no apparent reason. The worry just is there. Just for today let's do our deep breathing exercises & work through the anxiety. If there is something to worry about worry for lil while and then put it inside the worry box!

I like this one because we can really trip ourselves up by fearing making mistakes. We are human; it is natural to make mistakes. Just for today let's cut ourselves some slack!
