Well I’ve been doing ok this week.

At the moment my anxiety is creeping back up 🙄 any tips on holding on to rationality and not panicking ?

Thanks everyone.

In all honesty, it is your attempts to keep a firm grip of yourself which is the problem. This just adds more tension and stress which equals more anxiety and the symptoms you want to get rid of. If you learn to let go and let yourself fall into any state whilst not doing anything about it, you will recover. Anxiety is a paradox. The more you do to try and get better, the less you recover. The less you do to get better, the more you recover. Got it?

Good. Now get out there and make your life bigger than anxiety. Take the anxiety with you. If it tries to dictate what you should do or not do, do the opposite. It may feel very uncomfortable at times but this is good because the brain can only learn that there is nothing to be anxious about when you are feeling anxious. It will eventually get bored and leave but can’t do so until you loosen your grip of “it.”

I'm scared of the anxiety so it won't go away
