Looking at past photos of yourself during your suffering years?
« on: February 21, 2010, 04:53:21 PM »
When I look at photos of mysel during my high anxiety years ( i looked gaunt and weak) my memories come back of the suffering which make me more anxious. Once I have recovered will this response get better and it will be no more that a distant memory?

I firmly believe that you will be able to look back at those photos with compassion and appreciation for how far you have come.
At least that has been my experience. I know it can be painful.. but it is OK to acknowledge that painful part of your life..  mentally hug your old self and say.. good job.. we have come a long way baby. Even if you are 25% better today then you were in that picture.. then you are doing a great job and moving in the right direction.  :yes:
