Welcome EnergeticTangerine8703,
I’m pretty new myself, joining the group about 10 days ago. I’ve had a lot of success managing my anxiety with tips coming from individuals participating in this group. I also reached out to a therapist a few months ago, which helped me sort through my issues. In order to deal with my anxiety, I needed to get my “thoughts” in check. I am a deep thinker and have a tendency to overthink things. If I dwell on the “what ifs” and not on the “what is,”my anxiety turns into fear which triggers my “fight or flight” hormones that tigger more anxiety and fear. To avoid this vicious cycle, I try and occupy my thoughts and time with more positivity activities and people. I’m also very involved in my church, which helps me to connect with other like minded people. It’s so imperative that we have other people we can connect with. I also read that getting a dog has many therapeutic benefits and can ease loneliness.
Cheers to you and your wellness! Remember, better days do lie ahead for you! 🤗
Thai you for your kind words.
