I have a lot of problems with angxiety.  I worry and worry about things.  I know there are people who can turn these types of thought.  Could someone help me with this?  


Thank you in advance.

I might be able to help. One of the biggest things I do is to ask myself what’s the evidence? If I’m worried about the big snake I believe is in my basement I ask what’s the evidence ? I’ve never seen it, snakes are not indigenous to where I live, especially not the kind I imagine is there. Or what if my Rocket gets ahold of our cat? They are ALWAYS kept separated. The cat is fast and can easily hide.

If I’m worried about dad having a heart attack and mom screaming for me while I am in my room I’m afraid I wouldn’t hear her. But dad has a healthy heart and (NOT pushing religion here!!!) I give it to God. I pray a lot at night that He will keep my family safe. Do you have a therapist? I can’t remember. They can help you unwind these thoughts too

Sorry to hear that you’re having anxiety issues. I have found grounding techniques are very helpful. I gleaned a lot of tips from an article on the topic. Hope it helps you, too.
