Hi there! This is totally "normal", whatever normal is for us with anxiety issues. Anxiety over health, money, work, family, and yes, even anxiety! Seems weird, but I have been there, and done that.

The best thing in the world to do is find things to keep yourself busy. What do you like to do? Writing, going for a walk, talking to friends, crossword puzzles, any things that will keep your mind off the anxiety!

Hope this helps even a little...wishing you all the best!

This is why it is a anxiety disorder. It is a cycle of the mind and body relationship and you feed the anxiety with anxious thoughts and your body reacts anxiously. I am sure you already know this. The problem with this and why it is so hard to control is because we have been learning and instilling our bad habits for a long time and it will take a long time to retrain our minds. Sort of like going on a diet. The weight doesn't come off in a few weeks , it takes months, sometimes years. Just like a diet some days are good and some days our defenses are down.

A lot of the problem with anxiety is that it is almost all anticipatory. Therefore, we can become anxious and worried over being anxious and worried. We are more in tune with our thoughts and feelings because of anxiety and we just think too much to the point of over thinking.

I have learned to stop fighting anxiety because it's counterproductive and frustrating to do so. Ignoring your thoughts doesn't really work. It's like trying to ignore the kid who's starving for attention. Instead, try to answer the questions and play out the thoughts that pop into your head.

So, what if I have a panic attack while driving today? Then, I will pull into a parking lot and do some diaphragm breathing exercises and self hypnosis. If that doesn't work, I will take a Xanax. I've had panic attacks while driving before and I got through it and I will get through this.

Anyways, it's what I do. I answer the questions and play out the thoughts in my head. It works for me.

Nope. Perhaps I don't belong here, but...

Have to say, even the use of the WORD "anxiety" in your vocabulary means you're THINKING about anxiety! Y'know, The Secret, the Law of Attraction, the Law of Creation, and all that jazz.

I prefer to use words like "relaxation", "comfort", "warmth", "soothing"...and these become ingrained in my psyche.

When I get up in the morning is my worse time. It sets the pace for the rest of my day. If I am feeling good my thoughts immediately go to," wow! I feel good today. How does it feel to be dizzy and anxious? Oh yeah thats it." And there I am again; feeling anxious and dizzy again. I am my worse enemy.

This is a really important topic. Anxiety often gets misunderstood as just stress, but for many people it can feel constant and overwhelming in daily life. It’s helpful to see it explained in a way that normalizes those feelings and reminds people they’re not alone in it. <a href="https://www.weightlossandhealthcare.com/methyl-folate-for-anxiety/">Click Here</a>
