...then choose to ignore the “advice” because it’s a load of bullsh1t. In one ear and out the other, so to speak. Anxiety sufferers get stuck because they listen to those thoughts and pay them too much respect, taking them as gospel. They then fear those thoughts and worry, spending ages battling them, trying to figure them out, trying to reason with them or to not to think them. This is the wrong approach to those thoughts because any form of resistance just keeps them coming and with added force.

By all means let the thoughts have their say (they will anyway, often uninvited) but learn to let them go because they are false and very misleading. Be an observer to them and learn not to get embroiled in the chatter. It’s just anxiety sprouting rubbish and the mind and body’s way of releasing this negative energy so don’t stand in its way and let it all float over your head. The less you do anything about the thoughts, no matter how loud they may shout, the quicker they will melt away. The more you try to do something about them, the louder they shout. They won’t be there when you recover so don’t waste time fighting them. Resistance is futile.

Beevee, you are sooo right in what you say about anxiety. I laugh in it's face, it doesn't deserve my time Have a great day!

I couldn’t have said it better I’ve been learning recently that I’ve been finding it easier to just succumb to feeling terrible for ten minutes in the morning than when I was trying to suppress the anxiety it lasted all day it really hard though as it’s different for everyone

[captained49]

my anxiety sometimes never seems to end

[captained49]

Does your anxiety ever go away

[Kelbro]

It can go away but right now mines is thru the roof again that’s why I’ve came on here.... got such a bad migraine as I’ve got really bad health anxiety I’m imagining all sorts I’ve just about managed to stop hyperventilating long enough to write this out really feeling down today tbh
