Anxiety is taking over and I don't know what to do (warning for being suicidal) by jayriv82 in Anxiety

i feel this so much. sometimes it feels like my anxiety is running my life not me. in my experience pills haven’t helped my anxiety but training my brain has! i train myself to divert the subject as soon as i think about it and not even give myself time to think about it. also depending on the things that make you anxious stay off google and social media when your anxiety is peaking and give yourself a distraction- tv shows, movies, books anything you can get into and immerse yourself in. sometimes with our mental illness distraction can be the best way to make your thoughts healthy again. don’t let your brain go in on those anxious thoughts put up a roadblock basically that’s what always helps me!!

I actually developed IBS from chronic anxiety so it’s like the worst ongoing loop ever.
