Dealing with anxiety
Hello everyone! 🙃
This week, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD 🙌🏻, which was really important for me because I finally understand what’s happening with me! At the same time, I’m also dealing with anxiety and depression. Sometimes, the anxiety is so overwhelming that I feel like I can’t go on like this. I feel so bad that I don’t know what to do.
My doctor recommended a couple of books on coping with anxiety. But most of the exercises are focused on concentration. For example, one of them requires focusing only on your breathing and not thinking about anything else. This seems impossible for me and just drives me crazy 😣. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts that I can’t stop for even a second.
Has anyone else faced a similar problem? How do you stop the flow of thoughts during anxiety? How do you relax?
I also have a question: how do you manage to get rid of anxiety and stress in crowded places or at work? Basically, when you’re not alone.
I’d really appreciate your answers 🙏🏻.
