Scared of anxiety

Im more scared of the anxiety than anything else

It’s all consuming at times for me, so I understand the fear. Just remember that it’s just a moment, it will come and go. There’s no need to be scared, but it’s okay to feel that way.

It feels horrible though

It helps me think about why I’m scared, of my anxiety, of whatever is making me feel it. I dig deep and run through every negative possibility, and I always get to the end, where my what if’s can’t go any further, and I reach that dead end. It reminds me that anxiety ends, self talk helps, and breathing, mediation. I’ve given my anxiety a shape, color, texture. I place it in the part of my body where I feel it the most. I close my eyes and image it moving through my body guiding it, all the way and out my breath. I repeat it as many times as I have to. It helps, find something that helps you release the anxiety. It’s scary I agree, and ta hard, it doesn’t feel good, and it will pass. It will pass, it will pass, breath in, breath out, it will pass, and then repeat.

That is a great way to work on anxiety, and I will give this a go as I'm struggling myself.

And I had to learn not to be so scared of that, because your fear of that makes it worse. It is not easy but sometimes works. I am still able to talk to myself and acknowledge my anxiety but separate myself from it. And breathe, breathe, breathe.
