My therapist taught me to interrupt my anxious thinking with thoughts like: "What if things work out" and "What if all my hard work pays off?"

So, I'm passing that onto you wherever you are, whatever you're leaving, or whomever you're becoming.

Reminders for myself that maybe you need too: just as my triumphs don’t define me, neither do my mistakes. Radical honesty may sting but it hurts less in the long run. Every day is a new chance not to eat 3 untoasted bagels.

Telling someone with anxiety they are wrapped up in themselves is like telling someone with their leg on fire they are a bit shouty. Worry heads inwards.

I’m

⚪️ Depressed

⚪️ having anxiety

🔘 so pissed off, hearing people judging those who has that kind of mental illness. What? Do you think it’s easy to have depression nor any kind of mental illness? It’s not easy. It’s damn hard. At least try to understand.

things i wish ppl understood about anxiety:

- i didn’t choose it.
- i don’t choose when it pops in to say “hi”.
- it IS impairing.
- i really can NOT help it.

AND nobody dreams of the day where they get to let their friend(s) down by not showing up due to said anxiety !!!!

Living with anxiety doesnt make you weak.

Getting up and doing the 'normal' day to day things when you have anxiety takes a lot of strength.

Anxiety makes you stronger.

Humans are 90% water. We're basically cucumbers with anxiety.

If you don't know what anxiety feels like, imagine trying to close a browser window so someone behind you can't see it & not being able to.
