How Often Do You Do This ??

In trying to recover I was wondering how often and how much time people
spend on these things:

Thinking About What Do About The Condition
Reading About It
Talking About It
Doing Research
Being On Support Forums
Looking For Anything That Will Help

Thanks for reading and responding !!

Well, now this is an interesting question . . . I guess in the beginning, I spent a lot of time, but now I spend less depending what my state of mind is . . . .I guess that I have transferred the passive activities of reading, talking, and doing research on anxiety, to living my life managing it so that the anxiety does not consume all of my time and energy. I do spend time on this forum, but I do not visit others. I guess sometimes we can increase our anxiety if we focus too much on it . . .. it would need to be a fine balance depending on our situation . . . take care, KC

I spend WAY too much time doing those things. Doing all of this research was beneficial in learning how to deal with it, however it is now consuming a large portion of my day.

I'm glad you posted this discussion, because I've considered posting a similar topic. I've often wondered how common it is to spend so much time doing these things.
