Anxiety

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I have been struggling a lot with my anxiety lately. I am constantly worrying about something and I picture the worst possible scenarios. Sometimes these pictures turn very dark and graphic, but they are intrusive thoughts that won't go away. What do you all do to regain control of your thoughts when they begin to spiral? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you <3

I totally understand how overwhelming intrusive thoughts can be. When mine start spiraling, I try deep breathing, grounding techniques (like naming five things I see), or journaling to release them. Reminding myself that thoughts aren’t reality also helps. You’re not alone—hang in there!
