General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

trying to get the anxiety under control.

For the past week or so now i have been trying as hard as i can to get my anxiety under my control. I have finally accepted that no one can help me (except me), i don't have some sort of horrible disease that is causing me to feel this way, so i have stopped going to see drs. in hope that they will have the cure i know now that there is no cure only management. I am trying to be possitive ,ride my panic like a wave, use coping skills, keeping busy, and telling myself that i am safe. It is still a struggle and i am hoping that with time it will get easier for me. I hope that i can learn to live my life and figure out how to live it with anxiety because i know i will always have it but it doesn't have to control my life. I have to take the control back. I hope that you are all doing well, i am doing better compared to where i started from.

Hey I hear you... maybe part of the process of healing is that recognition that anxiety is a part of you and that it will come and go and try to hang on to the knowledge that the wave will pass. I know you are trying all the right things from many of your posts. Knowing that you are doing better compared to where you started is huge! I am trying to just accept that things could be worse and just embrace the fact that I am at least trying to do the right things. Take good care.

My child says the same thing. They are learning to cope with the way anxiety is a physical part of their well-being.

Reaching this point of healing is a huge step, and excellent work!

Three things I have to remind myself of on a daily basis: eat, drink, and be positive even in anxiety attack/panic attack mode.

Best wishes!
