Well I guess I better go buy a heart rate monitor....so I can toss it out. But yeah, like Carol I've been honed in on little sensations in my heart area the last few days..... Actually woke me up...then I googled 🤔😅😳😳😳, which I know for us is a bad idea. It's a new sensation so maybe I should get checked, but otherwise trying to keep my obsession in check. Yay!!!!
It's odd that you should mention worrying about your heart rate today, because last night as I was lyng in bed reading, I felt a few twinges in my heart. Normally I would worry over that, but I let it go and nothing bad happened. I am definitely getting better about discerning what is important to worry about and what not.
I understand how challenging it might be for many to put the heart monitors, Apple watches and blood pressure cuffs down. It wasn’t until I stepped back from the podcasts, books and FB chats that my recovery began. I had to take my focus off of anxiety and symptoms for a bit in order to step toward recovery. Oh don’t get me wrong, I listen every morning because I love the reinforcement but I don’t rely on it to get me through my day like I did in the beginning. Also, I have been reading The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris ACT therapy and it was the additional push that I needed. It helps with many aspects in our lives not just anxiety and depression. Love you Big Guy!
