Hi James! I wanted to thank you for your blog. It (and you by extension) has recently helped me through a very rough time in my life. I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health issues, a lot of which get in the way of motivation. Denial has been a way that I can self-motivate in a small but exceedingly rewarding way. Today, I finally worked through a major panic attack on my own effectively, which was the next milestone in my denial. Guess what I’m doing tonight! Seriously. Thank you so much

This is amazing, well done! I do think there is lots more to explore with the whole intermingling of denial with anxiety and how it can help. It sounds like you’re doing brilliantly.

I’d love to find out more about just what you did if you ever want to share so do feel free to hit me up on chat here (all messages are always entirely confidential, I know you can’t do it anon) and I can also tell you more of the things I’ve tried in that situation. 

Also if anyone missed it I recommended some resources on dealing with anxiety in a recent post
