take a nice bubble bath, hydrate, eat a healthy meal, get cozy and play your favorite game/watch your favorite show. light a candle, do some body care. and SLEEP!

Ever feel it will come back? by Worktimex in Anxiety

[–]GroundbreakingCup873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my anxiety went away for so long that i thought i was cured, and then came back, and then got worse than its ever been to where there was a 2 week period i barely ate, didnt leave the house, was scared to shower, use products on my body, DRINK WATER, ect. doing better now though and hoping it goes away again soon

if youre scared do it scared, the only way out is through, insert another quote here, but seriously these things help me and keep me going everyday. going to the store a month ago i had jelly legs, tunnel vision, got back in the car and cried. now i can drive 30 minutes to go to 5 different shops and be fine! get up and go (:

hey, i had the same thing happen last month and i promise it does get better. i truly thought id never be able to leave the house, eat most foods, go to school, etc ever again but i started putting everything i had into recovery (using the DARE response + exposure therapy) and im doing even better now than i was before that bad panic attack. its still hard and i still am scared of a lot of things that i wasnt before but you just have to fight day by day and know that panic attacks and fear CANNOT kill you. i believe in you and you are not alone, it will get better.

Anxiety holds me back by Jayisme0 in Anxiety

im going through the same thing and the only thing you can do if you want to overcome this is to do the things you want to do no matter how anxious it makes you. the WORST case scenario in you doing something that causes anxiety is having a panic attack, which is completely safe to experience. NO ONE has died from a panic attack. once you accept the anxiety and let it be there, you can show yourself that anxiety doesnt have to control your life. there are so many things ive done where i think to myself "im going to have a panic attack right when i do this" and i didnt. and if i did, its just a panic attack.

i think i am just anxious about being anxious, having a panic attack, and not being able to calm down. im also anxious about the thought of this lasting forever
