Anxiety masking positive emotions

October 23rd, 2021

Struggling with anxiety.

It's messing with my daily life, although I force myself to be functional but it still effects my career, relationships and health.

Will be welcoming any coping strategies.

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that anxiety has been impacting your life recently. You are not alone in your struggles. Some of my suggestions you may or may not have already tried, and if none of these interest you, please let me know!

Meditating/mindful breathing, going on walks, yoga, Tai Chi, journaling or voice recording your thoughts, visiting an animal sanctuary, taking up a new hobby, reading at home or at your local library, rearranging a room so it looks new, writing letters to yourself and reading them back later.

I hope one of these sounds appealing, and even if it turns out to not work for you, that's okay. It really is a trial and error sometimes. It's all apart of the process.

If you're interested, here's a link to the ACT course (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which has some helpful resources: https://www.7cups.com/act-therapy-techniques/

Best of luck to you! ♥️

I too have been struggling with anxiety and panic that has affected my career and relationships.


Mindfulness meditations, breathing techniques, and light exercise has been helping me a lot. Also talking with a therapist to understand more about your anxiety really helps.


You are not alone and things will get better. Keep moving forward and trying.
