Isn't anxiety crazy? Although it is not a disease, it makes us feel like we have a disease that is trying to kill us. Body aches, panic, stomach, muscles, heartburn, temperature fluctuations, headaches, and more. We always feel awful! The stress DOES make our bodies weak and makes our immune system low, so we maybe walking around with a slight viral infection. Anyway, the only way to get better is to get rid of our anxiety and work really hard to take care of ourselves so we can get back on level (thereapy, eating right, exercising, breathing, meditation, laughing, friends, and more). Remember, you may have a bug (man are they going around) and they can last a few weeks. A bug on top of anxiety is the proverbial straw! It puts us over the edge!

you can do it, anxiety can be treated, speak to your doctor and tell them everything - medication can take a month or so before you get used to it and feel the benefits and request CBT therapy as its wonderful

one thing that helps me is when I'm getting anxious is to think what I'm i get anxious for? I'm I worrying about a situation, something i said? or am i worrying about worrying

write it down and write down things that justify that worry and things that don't i.e if I'm worrying about an unknown call, I'm bound to be a bit worried because you don't know who it is, thats natural, however i also think who cares, if i don't pick up its not going to cause any harm and it kind of changes my thinking on ti
