Hi,

I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. Anxiety and self-doubt can become so overwhelming that they start feeling bigger than life itself. But the fact that you’re expressing it instead of keeping it all inside already matters.

You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. Sometimes getting through one moment at a time is enough. And even if fear feels loud at the moment, it doesn’t define who you are as a person.

@optimisticSpring1525 I hear how heavy your anxiety is weighing on you right now. I have anxiety as well and know the desperation of wanting it to go away, at least for a little while. But, even if it doesn’t feel believable right now, feelings like this can change with time, support, and people who make you feel safe instead of judged. You’re not doomed to feel this way forever. I find that talking to people (like you're doing now!), therapy, the right medications, journaling, spending time in nature, calling a friend, and engaging in my favorite hobbies helps a lot. You've got this!
