When my anxiety was at it's worst I couldn't stop my mind from going to all these negative thoughts. I thought I was dying and I couldn't relax but through counseling I learned your brain is like a car and when it starts going faster you have to learn to slow it down and maybe even put it in park and turn it off. I know that can be easier said than done but with practice you can control your thoughts. To everyone who is struggling with anxiety and depression don't give up things will get better.

How true ,Our brains re like cars. I Too had CBT Therapy and that has helped me a lot ,plus my doc switched my amtidepessants . Look forward and take courage ,Look back and give thanks.
What a great analogy! I am currently in therapy. My therapist told me to take the day in 15 minutes intervals, instead of trying to focus on the entire day at once. Seems like a simple thing, but it really helped me. So, when I get out of bed, I focus only on what needs done in the next 15-30 minutes. When those tasks are done, I switch my mind to the next thing. I am not always successful, but when I am, it really helps.
