ruminatingthoughts

Like I already wrote before on Mighty, I struggle with anxiety and ruminating thoughts. More specifically, it started by being health anxiety, but now I mostly feel anxious with pretty much everything.
I want to tell you that anxiety is a LIAR. It makes you feel so guilty and sometimes extremely scared. Physical symptoms also became apart of it now.
I’m telling you, it’s not that deep. Anxiety makes you feel like there’s no escape, you’re constantly thinking about the same thing, over and over.
Anxiety makes you believe that what you think it’s true, what you think it’s gonna happen. No. That’s not how it works. Your brain is scaring you and it’s making you believe that the worst outcome of a situation it’s gonna happen. NO! You are safe, you are ok. This is a process. Mental health issues can be so tricky, but remember these are only thoughts. These are only in your head and that’s because you force yourself to think about them every single day. You are now used to them, so you now think that this is your reality.
Keep yourself busy, exercise, do not isolate yourself because when we’re alone that’s when our thoughts hits us the most. I hope somehow this helped and just know that you’re not alone. My inbox is always open in case you need to talk to me and share your journey or your story. I’m here. Let’s share our coping ways and support each other.

The committee in my head does not want to stop the intense berating, sadistic self-talk, trying to take hold. Connecting the dots leading to the genesis is invaluable but I’m STUCK😲. I’m assigning myself the following exercise (from on-line psych lecture);
-VISUALIZE THE HIGHEST GOOD YOU CAN CONCEPTUALIZE and commit to it. You have to have an aim
I am keeping this in the hear and now, not far reaching to the future.
Please join me in this. ( deprecating thoughts is NOT prerequisite 🤩)
Any thoughts, feelings, methodology of your own? Please , let’s share!😃🤟🏾

Talk about self-flagellation! I have been beating myself up royally lately. The #stinkingthinking committee in my head is on overdrive, so, I’ve declared today is Be My Own Best Friend Day. I will try to fake it til I make it! How’s everyone else doing?
