Fighting anxiety

...See more Hi everyone! I joined 7 cups yesterday while feeling very anxious. I've always felt anxiety due to medical issues, but three weeks ago it got 300% worse. For a whole week I let it control me, it was absolutely awful. I could not eat or get up from bed because the fear of dying was huge. However, I've been actively fighting it for the last few days. I write down all my fears, all my thoughts or catastrophic scenarios, then I start questioning them to show my brain that they're highly unlikely. I also try to change the energy of everything I think to make them more positive. For example, I think "I'm feeling anxious, but I will get better soon" or "I feel like I'm dying, but the feeling is going away". It might sound silly, but the brain will eventually believe it! Also, if you like crystals, carrying an aquamarine stone helps so so much. In the same path, neuro-linguistic programming techniques are excellent. They help you change how you think so your brain stops triggering the anxiety and anchors you to the present or your true essence. Have you ever tried any of this? How do you fight your anxiety?
