Hello everyone,
I've been meditating and working on myself for the past 9 months now. I've been improving substantially in all areas of my life, but I cannot seem to break the anxiety patterns that come up when I put myself in any kind of social situation or when I have to perform.
Meditation has helped a lot, but even though I'm getting more equanimous in my day to day life it doesn't seem to help for the situations I mentioned.
The symptoms are not extreme, but they don't allow me to be genuine and authentic, which means I struggle to connect with people. This is incredibly frustrating, as connection is a value I hold very dearly (as I discovered from Leo's course)
I can be totally at peace for days, but whenever a triggering event comes up I get IBS symptoms, adrenaline rushes and I become restless, this can all be going on while my mind is not producing anxiety thoughts.
Does anyone have any useful insights that they can throw my way? Especially if they've experienced something that resembles what I talked about and overcame it completely.
