I have learned to ride the wave. I accept that it is there, and I don't fight it. I talk to it out loud..I tell it that we are ok and there is no danger. It may feel like it is but there isn't. And I tell it that I appreciate it being here to keep us safe...but I don't need it right now. But when it's ready to leave then it can go and come another time. My therapist told me to always thank it for being here to protect me but to tell it I do not need it right now. I just acknowledge it and let it be uncomfortable at whatever level it is and it slowly goes away. The more you fight it..the worse it gets.

that sounds like mindfulness; acknowledging without reacting. Is that what it is?

Absolutely beautifully said! I do sort of the same thing, but I’ve never thanked my anxiety before! A very positive spin on it and I love it! Thank you very much for your words!

So I started going for walks outside. Started with a mile then worked my way up to 2 and three miles a day. It helps me reduce my stress and anxiety. It also reduces my internal tremors that long Covid gave me. I can’t exercise hard but it’s true that it really helps. I read a book called “this is your brain on food” and there is a wealth of information in there for anxiety, depression, ADHD and many other ailments.

Meds. I hate to sound like I'm promoting them, but without them I have constant anxiety and I don't want that. My husband also helps by holding me tight.
