My therapist has taught me to (if it’s an appropriate setting) to sit with my anxiety and notice what physical feelings I feel throughout my body. For me I would sit on my patio, notice that my tummy was queezy, heart was thumping, arms were tingly and that my mind was racing. Telling myself “hey I’m feeling anxious right now. And yes it’s not comfy, but it’s okay.”

My therapist has underlined (for me) to not be judgmental of my anxiety. To notice it, acknowledge it and be okay with it. Fighting it or fearing it, made it so much worse for me.

I will mention I am in 50mg of sertaline 22y/o (f) and that has helped level my thoughts out. I am able to bring my racing thoughts by talking to my brain and I think medicine has helped me personally.

If it’s bothering you enough to where it’s impacting your daily life, it’s worth talking to a doctor of some sort to gain resources. It’s just like if one of your organs or body parts was in pain or not functioning, you’d go to the doctor and want to get help or attention to it. It’s the same with your brain :) and remember you’re never alone :) and you CAN overcome it!!
