anxiety has ups and downs

[augustine02]

hi everyone! does anyone else have severe anxiety that just goes away for a little while and then comes back full force?? i have feelings where i feel like everything is going to be okay & then a few hours later i’m spiraling again!! i just feel so abnormal & weird.

Hiya augustine, isn't that so frustrating! It's like trying to fix something but you can't reproduce the problem.

I have found that when I am exercising or working on school or doing well at work my anxiety is lessened because I feel good about myself. If I don't do those things I feel bad about myself and it is crazy the anxiety that comes. I would try to monitor what is going well or not when you do and don't feel anxious and see if you can find anything out. Then I would have compassion and try to realize that the anxiety shows that you care about those things! Of course there are times when are meds or other things are out of whack, but if we know it is those things then hopefully that helps us ride it out. ☮️
