I am thankful that the past two days I have been managing the physical symptoms of my anxiety better.
I've been working on "allow and accept" and repeating "fear is not danger and I am safe". It's still exhausting but at least it doesn't feel debilitating.
Today I am struggling more with the anxious thoughts.
...what if it stops working?
...what if I feel like this forever?
...what if it gets worse and I can't handle it anymore?
Does anyone have any advice on how to battle these anxious thoughts?

hi Kelsey- I’m glad you’ve been managing the symptoms and knowing they are not dangerous- just fear. You’ve felt those before and here you are! The “what ifs”- yup, we all know them! Same as the symptoms- fear/ lies, not truth or some sort of prophecy which we often tell ourselves. Do what you do with the symptoms- allow the thought to be there and talk back to it- FEAR taking, these are lies.
What you’re doing and practice will work.
You will not feel like this forever
You’ve handled it so far it will not become unbearable
