I've struggled with anxiety for years. It's interfered with my life and made me completely dependent on other people. It made me have terrible self esteem, extremely low confidence and questioned my abilities and goals. Years ago they tried me on ativan for panic attacks but it actually would intensify the feelings. One of the biggest things I've found that has helped me is keeping a journal. It helps me organize my thoughts and keep track of goals and aspirations. When you're having a bad day, it's nice to be able to look back over what you wrote on a good day to help calm yourself. I also will ask myself what's causing the anxiety. If its something I can change, then change it! If its something irrational that I can't change, I try to remind myself of that too. Find something that works for you
Thanks for this!
