I know I simply don't have awful anxiety anymore simply because I stopped being afraid of being anxious!! And it took stopping taking drugs to get rid of the anxiety to face it and learn it wasn't so bad.

I know when it first happened to me I was a bit frightened, but more recently I just went with it and enjoyed myself. Very interesting post =)

Very helpful for me...especially after a four day visit with my parents, and this disturbing emotional blunting kicks in...feeling kind of like a walking dead person. My partner said "You probably have to feel that way to protect yourself". I liked hearing the positive associations with these feelings...that really helped me to reframe it all, instead of just feeling like "I'm fucked up". Thanks for this!
