Once again I'm having a bad day where my physical anxiety is so high and so intense, I still am in such a quandary about a thought that's come up that directly contradicts acceptance.
I'm afraid acceptance means accepting an awful fate, like accepting that this level of fear will always be there, that I'll accept I'm supposed to feel this scared all the time, almost like I'm replacing accept with agree?
I'm a massive over thinker and I didn't mean to do this to myself but I have got myself into a state about the very thing that at times has helped me.
Can somebody please clear this one up for me? I can't really accept how bad I feel right now this level of tension is to severe, the fact I can't accept it is scaring me more.
Thanks.

Take each day as it comes. Anything can happen, we all have ups and downs but it will always go up again as long as you give it chance to. I don’t think you should have to accept feeling so bad, no one should because it’s so awful. But please keep pushing through it, I hope you feel better soon xx
So sorry you are experiencing this level of anxiety. It can be quite crippling. Are you currently on any medications? Do you have a doctor/therapist you are seeing? You may want to reach out to him to let him know that your meds are not effective in managing your symptoms. Also, I like to write down things I know that are true about myself, so that when these times come, I can read these truths out loud which helps me focus on the truth rather than my rambling thoughts. Here are links to some additional resources that may help as well. Keep up the fight!
Hi, Richy. I've been having this quandry, too. I'm very much guilty of being an over thinker - I think it comes with the territory and is a big part of how we landed where we are now. I guess (as hard as it is) that we have to accept this too. (I'm in the UK too, btw). Hope you've had a little more peace today - don't forget that this time of year can be very intense for everyone, not just us anxiety recoverers. Remember to be extra kind to yourself - best wishes.
