33 years anxiety here. There are many ways to reduce anxiety. Relaxation, diversion,counselling, hypnotherapy. Your brain needs to think it out, it wants answers. I found that speaking aloud (the brain hears you audibly, it does not believe your thoughts)several times a day, I am a strong intelligent woman (say man please) I am a good daughter, I am a good mother, I am a good friend...etc etc. My brain started to believe it, I then added What have I to fear? nothing. Also, anxiety is triggered by something on a subconscious level, get specialist help and anxiety will leave you alone.

you have the right idea my friend-when you feel it coming on-close your eyes and picture the thing you love most in life. breath steady. hope this method helps you some ,it did me.
have major depression with severe anexity attacks. kow what your going thru. may GOD BE WITH YA CHER.

I do some of what dearest said. Talking out loud about things to reassure that everything is ok has a different effect than just thinking it. It helps some for me but I also would say to check out a doc and maybe see if some meds and counseling would help more long term.

i think that when they say accept your anxiety it means to just "Let Go". it means to let go of your daily stressors and just enjoy life. it means to accept your anxiety and stop feeling sorry for yourself and strive for change. but this is so easy to say and so hard to do. i tell myself to accept my anxiety and stop fighting it but it is so hard. of course we are going to fight off our anxiety we do not like the way it feels, we want it to end. i think that as humans we try to fight off anything that makes us feel bad or uncormfortable. if you have a cold or thorn in your hand you always try and fight it off we dont just accept it and go on. so i think fighting is part of our human nature thus making it hard for us to just accept anxiety and let it happen.

i think the issue is keeoing busy, and just realising what happens is going to happen anyway! just accept it but deal with it and not to work yourself up over situations. it may help to just talk about it x

Have you ever heard of Dr. Claire Weekes?(she's passed on now) Google her. Read her books! Her books will tell you how to Face, Accept, Float, and Let time pass. This has been my only method and it works.

There is a type of therapy where in the safety of your therapists office you induce anxiety attacks till your body is desensitized to the feeling.I also think that sometimes you get so sick of feeling it you get mad and make it go away but it comes back.
