31F. I've had anxiety my whole life (I remember panic attacks and negative thinking as early as 12).. this is something I haven't tried yet but my therapist recommended. She said to try to just tell yourself you're not anxious in any moment you start feeling it. And most of all stop telling people you have it, because once they view you as the person with anxiety you will continue to place yourself as that character in the relationship/friendship/group. Has anyone ever tried this?
