You are not alone in this 💖

When I'm anxious, I focus on my breathing, counting slowly until my heart rate calms down.

Then I listen to music to stop the negative thoughts.

Then I remind myself, this cannot hurt me, it'll pass, I'm safe 💖

Small, consistent 💖

For me I wish it was that easy. I have a bunch of anxiety disorders so it’s harder to manage, my health anxiety has me body scanning (specifically chest/heart related so I always fear heart issues)

@redPal7507 Go on walks when you get the chance, I go on one everyday and I rarely get anxiety anymore

I know what it feels like. You're not alone, I was there. But, the moment I understood that in all, I was always my expert. So, you are the expert of yourself. Read many resources and study your environment. What have you tried that are not working? How do you think you can adjust to make them work? And try out other strategies you haven't tried before. Give yourself a tomb's up at every improvement no matter how little. Don't be hard on yourself. I hope this is helpful.

A warm glass of sleepy time tea could offer a little comfort. 🖤
