I've had the luxury of living with anxiety for about a year now. I struggled a lot when I first was experiencing it and it really was a process. From thinking I was crazy. Then scared of EVERYTHING to thinking I had every illness in the book (thanks webmd!) then I noticed something..... it was slowly going away. And it was going away because I was accepting of the fact that I have anxiety. Eventually, it went away all of it it was great! So what happened? I went back to my old habits. Eating poorly. Drinking more. Not exercising. And guess what? I started feeling bad again stomach started boterhing me again and then my thoughts were piling up. I was doing exactly what I had done before and I knew it.... but one thing was different, I knew how to counter the feelings and the thoughts because now I knew it was all fake.

Anxiety comes and goes and if it comes and stays it is because you let it. You have to remind yourself that the feeling happens and then it goes. Stop dwelling on it. It's not worth it.

I know easier said than done but remember, before you had all of this anxiety what happened when you had stomach aches, or nausea, or felt quick chest pains or bad thoughts? They all went away! The same will happen when you don't give it the attention it wants.

**true story**

I've been having stomach pains (anxiety) for the past week. You'd think I would get tired or worried about it and think "omg it's never going to end" but actually it's the exact opposite. I only realize it when I think about it. This tells me one thing..... it's going to go away again.

Things come and go. That's life. But know nothing is permanent.

Anywho. I've learned how to live with and pass anxiety but that doesn't mean I don't get it every once in awhile. But hey it's ok!

Live your life. Love everyone. Laugh a lot. Believe in God. 😊 Cheers everyone.
