Anxious about anxiety

[newmercies]

Hi everyone. Does anyone else struggle with feeling anxious about feeling anxious? Like worrying that the anxiety is not going to go away or that you won’t be able to calm down? This is something I’ve been struggling with lately. Any tips or advice on how to manage this? Thank you❤️

I struggle with the same thing, I actually think its the main topic of my anxiety lol I continually worry about how it is affecting my life. Ive been trying to meditate lately and this seems to help me stay more present in the moment. Maybe that could help you too

Yeah I totally get this. I get anxious about being anxious forever even though I know it won't happen.

Yes I struggle with anxiety daily some days are better than others that’s what gets me down thinking that it will never go away and that one day I’ll just feel worst and end up in the hospital or something everyday I just have anxious thoughts

Journal those anxious thoughts! You don’t even need a journal just start writing with pen and paper until you feel relief.

Fear of anxiety is hard to overcome, it can start the loop and it's hard to get out of that rut. Distracting your mind with comedy or a good audio is great. I listen to the same few loved audio books on timer at low volume to go to sleep, helps me so much! Laughter is healing too, so good funny things are healing. Many have found that taking magnesium (magnesium malate is best) and ginseng helped a lot, they calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts the loop around in the mind. Also, getting outside, laying on the grass to get grounded and breathe in fresh air, looking at stars, these things help a lot too. Our environment help or hurt our mental health and physical health. Speak aloud positive truths to counteract the negative thoughts and things said to us. Also, Volunteering helps us get our of our own misery to help others, which helps us. Call those negatives a lie and correct them to yourself. Walking thru bad memories to a better visualized end to get unstuck in them helps a lot! Protect yourself from those who put that added stress on you and go out and do new challenging things, take classes, go t meetups. Learn new things, meet new people, it will get you out of the pit. Hope this helps you, blessings!
