Reply to My Previous Post – Alternate Thoughts for the Anxious Mind

We’re stronger than we think. It’s proven by getting through each day, and waking up the next.
More people understand than you think.
So what if they see your hands shaking? You’re there, you made it, and that makes you braver than them.
You’re not alone.
I know you feel defeated more often than not, but the fact that you’re still going proves you can never be defeated. Have faith in yourself, if nothing else.
Whenever you feel yourself slipping into the darkness, reach out and speak out.
The strong aren’t those who are never afraid. The strong are those who’re afraid, but keep going anyway.
You’ll have sleepless nights, but they won’t kill you, you have the strength to prevail. Find ways to keep your energy up in the daytime.
Speak up and unite with others who feel the same way; trust me, it helps to much.
Don’t run from your illness/disorder.
Just because things are harder for us, it doesn’t make it impossible. Millions before us have achieved greatness despite their illness, so we can too.
There’s no point in asking why me, what if and the like. It won’t change anything and we won’t get the answers we seek. All we can do is move forwards from here and work with what we’ve got.
Nothing lasts forever. That’s a fact. So our pain and suffering won’t last forever, either.
Practice techniques to relieve the heaviness and fatigue. Mindfulness, meditation and fun are the best ways to relieve it. Do them a lot and often.
You’re lovable. You’re perfect the way you are. Someone will love you, if they don’t already. I’ve found love after thinking I never would, that I wasn’t good enough; but I am and so are you.
You’re not a loser. You’re not weak. These are mad notions! We’re amazing, if only we just show people who we really are. Be brave enough to be you, and the right people will love you.
Teach yourself ways to eat despite not wanting to. I pretend food is like medicine and will make me feel better. Sometimes that works.
There’s so many techniques to alleviate the suffering. Try each way and don’t be knocked down if it doesn’t work.
Panic attacks won’t kill us no matter how much it feels that way. I promise. And they won’t last forever.
It gets easier, you get stronger, it takes time and practice just like anything else in life.
