Anxious about being anxious!!
Does anyone worry about every possible thing? My biggest worry is about what people think of me! Always justiflying myself! I honestly get anxious over being anxious I wish I could remove my brain and replace it with a nicer one!
I can relate to this. When we're anxious, we cling onto these things called 'safety behaviours' for some sort of relief. The most common is avoidance!! If we are worried about being worried, we will often avoid that situation so that we don't have to experience worry. The problem with this is, we will never know if we became anxious - so we become more anxious the next time, then avoiding it again. It's a very annoying cycle to be in 😂😂❤
@peacefulHug92 that make so much sense!! I never look at it that way 😂 honestly anxiety really makes you feel like you're losing it at times doesn't it.
I suppose laughing at it really does help to get you through also! I wonder if there's ever an end to anxiety or if its more of a case in finding ways to cope with it ☺
@Lou84 I agree, laughing about it makes it feel less serious and scary ❤
@peacefulHug92 I must remember to do this.. might make it a little easier!
I can totally relate...It is a horrible cycle!
Hi @Lou84
Thanks for contributing to the forums. I moved this to the Share Your Story forum section as it seemed a more logical fit :)
Hey @Roadie no worries and thank you ☺
@Lou84
For sure. Anxiety is a pain in the ass. You're not alone!
Have you tried seeking professional help? Also have you tried some coping mechanisms? Like breathing techniques, sports or venting to people
Best of luck

'Anxious about being anxious' sounds like the title of my life story. Even when things are going alright I'll freak myself out by wondering when it's all gonna fall apart. Anxiety is a beast to deal with. Hopefully we'll both find some help on this site and in general.
