@therapytothepoint: Most people don’t realize they are making their anxiety worse without knowing it. These habits feel helpful in the moment, but they actually reinforce anxiety, overthinking, and stress long term. Avoidance, constant reassurance seeking, pushing yourself too fast, suppressing thoughts… all of it teaches your brain that you can’t handle uncertainty. That’s what keeps the anxiety going. Anxiety starts to improve when you build tolerance to discomfort instead of trying to escape it. #anxiety #anxietytips #anxietyawareness #anxietyhelp #overthinking

How do you gradually expose yourself to things that don’t have an in between? Like things where it’s either you do it or you don’t do it. Like suddenly being forced to change your routine because something changed outside of your control?

Ok I’m afraid of flying. So how do I do gradual exposure? TSA won’t let me practice getting in and off a plane.

Can u tell me if I have social anxiety? First of all I feel like when I’m around people I have to look perfect so I’m not judged by others and then there’s acting weird a uncomfortable around the people I’m not close with and I’m still trying to look perfect. I don’t like to talk to people as much maybe my best friends I show them my real side but anyone else would have another side and I’m a bit more comfortable with the teachers too so is there any more questions u need to ask me?

Dr. Antoine Kanamugire, MD :

Anxiety often persists when the brain learns to avoid rather than face discomfort. Gradual exposure and tolerance-building are what help shift that pattern long-term.
