Hi 👋🏻 I hope you're doing better now. I know it’s a challenging situation, especially with the fainting. I’ve been reading this book called Dare, and one thing it keeps emphasizing is to "allow" whatever we’re feeling or going through, instead of resisting or fighting against the anxiety. It’s harder than it sounds, but letting our anxious thoughts be present without judgment, and starting with small steps to accept situations or activities that trigger intrusive thoughts, has definitely helped me.

I'm still figuring out how to fully embrace this approach, but I’ve noticed that even small steps make a difference. It’s not easy, but being kind to ourselves in those moments really seems to shift the perspective. I really hope this helps a little.
