Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I've been looking at quotes this morning and found some that were really inspiring and thought provoking.
I especially like this one: I existed on my own terms. I was different my entire life. Some called me divergent, wild, crazy, unpredictable and unconformedan apostate to the rules of the majority. I called myself Gods creation and found purpose in the madness. When that day came, I didnt allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.

WELL DONE, my friend.
2. If someone is willing to give you their heart, recognize they are taking a huge chance with the most fragile thing they own.

3. You are you
you are not a condition
a disorder,
or an illness.
You are a wonderful creation, and you were given this life for a purpose.

Here's a quote I like:
EVERY HUMAN BEING IS A SACRED MYSTERY. In other words, not a paragraph in the DSM, not a puzzle to be figured out, not a label.
"Trying to feel happiness when you are simply feeling sad is unhealthy, its rejecting and trying to change your wide spectrum of emotions rather than accepting and embracing them. Inner peace, not happiness. If you accept your feelings of sadness, hurt, anger, while you are feeling them, with that acceptance will come a feeling of peace. That is the aim. See how it changes your life."
One of my empowering sayings to clear anxiety is...
