Worrying/Intrusive thoughts help

Once again struggling, still trying implement the Claire Weekes theory about accepting and not fighting my anxious thoughts but feels like I’m failing miserably. I’m really trying to follow this but finding it so hard to differentiate between the destructive thoughts to accept and ignore and then what thoughts I’m supposed to follow and use to help me.

It’s so hard and difficult I just keep ending up back at self pity and frustration, ‘why me’ and ‘how can I fix this’ thoughts just keep coming and I can’t seem to let them pass without attaching to them fervently.

Thanks for sharing. I'm also challenged by ongoing challenges with anxiety. I support you in your own journey. Thank you so much for mentioning Claire Weekes. I looked her up. She is a new resource for me and I'm looking forward to learning more. "Accepting and not struggling" sounds like a promising approach. Again thanks and I strongly support you on your path forward.
