One thing my anxiety has taught me is.....
It has taught me to not bottle everything up, to let people in & talk to someone when I really need to. To not blame myself for the way I am because I'm human & I'm allowed to express my fears & worries through words & open ears.
How wrong thoughts can be...
How some things make you miss amazing facts and opportunities...
What courage is.
That everyone is going through something & to just be nice first always
Anxiety has taught me how to better help others dealing with similar situations. If I hadn't gone through all the struggles I have experienced, I wouldn't be as effective at helping my own daughter through her trials or the kids I work with in the classroom.
Be silent whenever I feel like I am not on my normal mode. Words really put me in a bad situation.
Not everything is how I think it is. Ask for clarification.
That I need to be aware of myself as much as I am of others.
@Trickpants I definitely understand this feeling. Sometimes I worry too much about others and end up overexerting myself. It's good to know someone else feels something like this as well. Thank you for sharing and I wish you a wonderful day!
I can and will overcome. Even though individual days feel exhausting and sometimes drag me down, when I look back I can be proud of how far I have come. Anxiety, and my experience with it, has taught me that not everything is as frightening as it seems, and with persistence and support from people who love me, I can do anything.
To not let it stop me... It's just another hurtle to get through and learn from...
Don't speak the first thought. Or the second. And that it's not always necessary to have an answer, or an opinion.
