I Don’t Have Anxiety And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

i dont have anxiety and other lies we tell ourselves

I have been there, too.

And when you finally figure it out how bad anxiety is, it’s almost as if everyone else wants to help in very unhelpful ways.

The truth is that we need to stop for a minute and listen to our body and what it’s trying to tell us.

Aside from what everyone else thinks and says and from whatever we read, we really need to kick our heels in the dirt and start to actually deal with how we are feeling.

This means no more closed doors, no more blocked memories, and no more painful regrets.

Anxiety can be felt in so many different ways and we are all so different that we can’t expect to all be the same.

Not only that, but can I just be really real with you all and say there has been a huge stigma against anxiety/depression?

Maybe I’m the only one that feels that way, I don’t know.

But what I do know is that it’s literally life altering, and it takes hold of your everyday life when you let it have control.

And those who are suffering and being silenced, feel like they no longer have a place to stand or even a voice to use.

Giving anxiety full control is the easiest part, and gaining your control back is the hardest.

You have to keep fighting for yourself.

You know yourself and what you are feeling better than anyone else.

Be real about it, talk about it with the right trusted people, and hopefully you will find your path to healing.

In case you were wondering, here are just a few signs that you or someone you know might be struggling with anxiety and not even aware of it.

 

It’s almost as if no one wants to deal with the root of the problems and they just want you to cover it up.

I hate to say it, but anxiety and depression can only be medicated for so long, but they will continue to be there until the cause is taken care of..

Anyone that has suffered for long periods of time can agree that it really can get better.

No, it’s not easy to just deal.. it’s hard! You kinda have to make the choice for yourself in what kind of “hard” you want to deal with in life.

The dark valleys and the long hallways of life are actually where you are building resilience. You are becoming stronger and more courageous every step you take forward.

Building healthy boundaries with yourself is how you can stop letting the dreadful anxiety win again.

It all starts with awareness.

Which is why I honk it’s important to know what you are feeling exactly.

Once you can understand what you are dealing with, you will then be able to start digging in a bit deeper with more confidence in what your doing. Because you know what it is your really dealing with in the first place.

You just really never know who may be going through something as similar as you are,

And you never know how the tools you’ve built for yourself can begin breaking the trail for someone else.

Use your pain for a purpose! I promise you one thing, that someone out in this world gets you and understands you..

You are never alone.

Remember that without grief, there would be no healing at all.

Don’t beat yourself up for having those negative feelings because those are natural too.

Just don’t allow yourself to feel negative for very long, because that’s when you are giving it control.

Feel it, accept it, and move on.

You got this!

Love,
