Anxiety: does it feel like climbing a 'climbing frame' ? This is a little story about how I see ways of getting through struggles and difficulties, I'd really like to here peoples' views on this? Also, I'd love to discuss advice on thinking positively and achieving common sense during times of panic? Many thanks for reading this! Happiness :-)
I wonder if anyone else understands this concept. As a child you start to climb the frame, from the ground, big gaps between the rungs of the metal climbing frame. You get to the top, the highest point of the arch. What do you do then? You need to move your feet so that you don't fall through the gap, which feels huge as a child. You need to proceed past the highest point and turn a little, navigate your feet, knees and hands, so that you can climb down the other side back to the ground.
What happens when you get stuck at the top? Feel you can't move for fear of falling, you start to get upset, what happens next, do you tell yourself you can't do it?
An adult comes to the rescue, 'would you like help? would you like to get down?' You have two choices, you accept help, or an adult takes you off the climbing frame to unburden you from the struggle of trying to climb down the otherside of the frame on your own.
Just a little thought. It's easy to take the easy option, though not so easy but a lot more fullfilling if you are talked through how to climb down the other side and achieve what you aspired to accomplish, which then makes you feel less fearful the next time you climb the frame.
You have support if you need it, your own aspiring goals to climb the frame and settle down safely the other side. Life is full of difficulties and slowing down and resting the panic, you can achieve many things in your full, long, life.

BTW! As a post thought! I am actually talking about 'feelings' and coping mechanisms, not associated with a particular event or any 'particular' struggle.
