Just thought of this advice and had to post it. I know form experience that battling and controlling anxiety can feel  quite impossible some times. One way that I try to combat my own anxiety is with sharp and concise thoughts. For me anxiety feels like a thick cloud. It’s very disorienting and overwhelming and suffocating. I tend to get lost in a rabbit hole of worrisome thoughts that continue to the point of me breaking down emotionally and physically. Clear and sharp thoughts help me ground myself to reality. They allow me to step outside of the cloud and take a breath of air. These sharp thoughts tend to consist of what I am grateful for and everything that I am happy that I have. Such as loved ones, certain situations, etc. After I’m able to break down the situation that is causing me anxiety and work toward some solutions. I know that all of this advice seems to be an unrealistic and easy fix but it’s not. I’m still working on using this method to control my anxious thoughts. Anxiety is not an easy illness to fight against. It’s important to recognize this and also to give yourself credit for how hard you are working.


I really hope this can help someone who’s struggling and in need of advice :)
