“Do it scared” changed my life. Also I view my anxiety as a wall and sometimes I just run directly at it becuase most of the time it’s not a real wall and it’s just a plastic curtain which looks like a wall n

Acceptance. It will go away if you accept it. Took me 10 years to figure it out.

You’re helping people with this. As a therapist who sufffered from anxiety, I recommend learning to not take anxiety seriously. No feeling lasts forever. It will pass.Getting anxious about anxiety intensifies it & makes it stick around longer. Shrug your shoulders at it. Literally.

YUP! My anxiety told me “something bad is about to happen” and I cured it by responding “ok let it happen I’m ready.” it’s all about stopping the cortisol cycle and POOF there goes the anxiety (not that simple but YKWIM). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches this.

A therapist has me name my anxiety or symptoms/feelings. When I have anxiety/symptoms, like a crazy stomach, I just greet it by name. “Hey Paul, I see you’re here, that’s ok” (Paul was the pit in my stomach)

But what if it prevents you from sleeping for days and you literally can’t function?

This is good advice for dealing with 'anxious feelings' - but not for Generalised Anxiety Disorder. I have GAD and if I just let my anxiety 'sit', I end up unemployed and very unwell. There is a chemical imbalance in my brain. Pregabalin has fixed it. Please don't refer to meds as an 'easy fix' - meds already have enough stigma around them and some of us require them in order to live normal lives.

Yeah people with SEVERE anxiety please do not listen to this. I felt as though I had a really good hold on my anxiety and didn’t realize I was under so much stress/ internalized anxiety and didn’t realize it and turned catatonic. People with somatic symptoms simply cannot talk their way out of these situations

Anxiety is energy needing to escape. Run, workout very hard and see how that changes things.

I think I’m gonna try Lexapro. I’ve sat with my anxiety and still comes back. I live in fight or flight.

I believe this works and I can handle anxiety as an emotion, but the physical symptoms in my case are the ones that cause panic, vomiting, upset stomach, dizziness and can't stand the heat at all when the body overheats. It's hard to get over it because of the physical symptoms 😬

As a chronically anxious person, this does really work. “I am experiencing anxiety and that’s ok. It doesn’t mean something is wrong me or my life. It’s just a thing I’m experiencing.” And absolutely anxiety ABOUT insomnia is so much worse than the insomnia

The monster is more powerful when you don’t turn around and face it. When you turn around and sit with the monster it stops being a monster and starts being what it is…a hurt part of you.
