Anxiety doesn’t mean you stop living, you make adjustments that fit your needs. You’re allowed to live ✌️x

It’s like saying ‘why do you breathe if you have asthma’ - long term anxiety sufferer and I still go to festivals and stadiums and gigs, planes, trains. Don’t stop living you just adapt

As an anxious girly, thank you. The anxiety is always there but you find ways to cope. We want to do things like everyone else 🥰

I get this all the time from other people. You can't let anxiety ruin your life, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to be able to do the things you enjoy. It's not easy and it takes huge strength and bravery (and lots of pre planning). 😂

If you give in to anxiety you’re just reaffirming what the anxiety is telling you

People think anxiety is hiding away from “everything” all the time & sometimes it is..but other times you can go into a supermarket fine & other times you can’t leave your own home it fluctuates every minute of every day

Also! Make sure you go with a safe person! Cannot stress that having someone with you who understands and can keep you feeling safe. Nothing worse than going with a group who you don’t feel safe with

Going with someone that knows your limit. My partner can tell by my mannerisms if I’m having a bit of a silent melt down and will just take me out of the situation or do something to distract me from it.

I have anxiety & went to Hella Mega tour. Seeing Green Day for the first time as an adult knowing my 14 yr old self would be beaming was amazing! But did I have 3 panic attacks in the car & cling on to my partner for dear life! Yes yes I did! but so glad I pushed through the struggle! Let us live!! & just be kind 😊💜

Thank you so much for this! I did these things and felt immense guilt/weird for being so anxious and needing to sit further back etc. You’ve made me feel so much better ❤️

That’s great to see how you can deal with the anxiety & still enjoy things-and this can educate others who don’t have anxiety & may post those types of comments 🥰❤️

Anxiety WANTS you to avoid. It feeds of that. Therapist will tell you to ease into those anxieties.
