So I think I’ve figured out a huge thing with how I’m feeling… the crawling sensation that I get under my skin that I have been thinking is the Candida.  Well, now I think it’s anxiety.

I think I’ve been internalizing my anxiety and, as weird as it may sound, it’s been manifesting underneath my skin and just above my muscles.

I’ve mentioned before that I have trouble doing things… various things, but really all things, that would be responsible to do. Like taking vitamins for instance. I take them for a while, but then I stop because suddenly the anxiety comes up and I don’t take them anymore. I’ve said that I can obsess about things, such as knitting or jogging, and then after a while I stop that, too. But now I wonder if it’s obsessing, or if it’s just this same barrier that I keep hitting.

Just like hitting hard classroom desks or a brick wall, my anxiety comes up and it prevents me from doing what I want to do. I’ll tell you sometimes I have no idea how I’ve been involved in dog training and dogs for so long. I guess my passion outweighs the anxiety. But for the most part I can only do things for so long and then I stop cold.  (Well, except for watching TV or movies too, but that’s an escape so doesn’t count.)

So now I’m trying to feel the anxiety.  Look at it. When I do, it doesn’t get under my skin and I don’t feel the crawling pain so much.  So that’s good!  But, of course, anxiety sucks and I hate feeling it.  Anxiety likes to protect itself and to do so it distracts the mind to look at something else.  So I have to force myself to see the anxiety and feel it.

So I’m trying that now.  I don’t even know what is causing the anxiety.. what thoughts? What habits? What feelings?  How does taking vitamins make me anxious? I think there’s an underlying common component that I have yet to discover.

I think this is a big step for me though!
