It's just a thought that there's no permanent cure of anxiety. We can distract our self from issues leading anxiety. I was having anxiety yesterday due to some issues, the best thing i was able to do was distract myself from thinking about that issue.
Is this it? So there's no actual treatment for anxiety? just a random thought..
I been without anxiety years,but recently due to some stressful events it all came back like a snow ball..there is treatment that works because I've been ok for years,unfortunately when something bad happens anxiety strikes us again..its not easy and it's a life battle,and it sucks..but we have to learn to cope and find strategies to fight it.Sometimes I think too,damn will I have to live like this forever?!I feel you,you're not alone with those thoughts
Yes, and best strategy is to try to ignore the issues leading to anxiety.
🌸 i dnt think anxiety goes away it depends how we handle it, which will then affect the severity and the how often we face it. I have days that are worse than others but I having been learning about radical acceptance. which means learning how to accept what is happening knowing we can't change everything. even looking at the facts of what is happening because i can have anxiety by stressing about things that haven't even happened yet, or maybe won't even happen. it's not easy we need to try things that help us we are all different. all the best going forward 🌸
true, hope you're having a great day 
There was a woman, now long gone, a psychiatrist by trade, she wrote 50 years ago that everybody with anxiety could recover if they followed her method no matter how long or how deeply they had suffered.
She acknowledged that anxiety once overcome could return. But she claimed that if you overcame one episode of anxiety then you were cured because if it returned you knew from experience how to overcome it again.
About half the people who experience anxiety disorder have the one episode and if they overcome it they are never troubled again.
The other half have a genetic disposition to anxiety and it can come back after recovery.
Claire Weekes said that to recover we must stop fighting our anxiety. Fighting causes tension and stress and it's tension and stress that are keeping our nerves sensitised.
Instead we should frame our minds to accept for the moment all the fake symptoms and false fears that anxiety inflicts. Accept the symptoms utterly and fearlessly and you will recover. Carry on as normal no matter how bad you feel, stay off the couch, occupation is therepeutic. You win not by the punches you give but by the punches you take. Learn to live with your anxiety and you'll be able to live without it. So Doctor Claire Weekes declared.
Her first imperitive was Face. Face the fact that you have anxiety and don't try to escape from it in distraction, accept it and keep occupied and be prepared to coexist with the bad feelings for the time being.
Her second imperitive was Accept as described.
The third was Float: imagine yourself floating through your day as if on a cloud, floating correctly applied will carry you forward when tired legs and a lack of willpower want to hold you back.
The fourth impetitive is Let time pass: no instant cure this Acceptance method. You took months, even years, to get yourself into this state, allow Acceptance some time to free you from it.
By accepting anxiety fearlessly for the time being we stop flooding our over sensitised nervous system with the hormones of stress and fear giving them a chance to calm and recover.
Her method when fully understood has helped untold thousands to recover from anxiety disorder and the depression that comes out of anxiety.
The short book she first wrote is titled 'Self help for your nerves' in the U.K. and 'Hope and help for your nerves' in the U.S.
It is just one way to recover from anxiety: others include combinations of talking therapies and medication.
Thank you for this information, always willing to try something new. Sticking to it is the hard part.
