by ASilentObserver
Last post
 Monday
...See more Hello all and welcome back to another discussion,  A couple of weeks ago, we discussed what kind of behaviors anxiety has caused you to engage in. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/WeeklyPrompt40Whatkindofbehaviorsdoyouthinkanxietyhascausedyoutoengagein_336332/] Thank you to all who participated and shared your thoughts with us. I appreciate you all. I hope all who may read it find it relatable, too. If anyone hasn't shared them yet, please share them here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/WeeklyPrompt40Whatkindofbehaviorsdoyouthinkanxietyhascausedyoutoengagein_336332/], and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you.  This week's prompt:  Are there any underlying beliefs or fears that fuel your anxiety? There are often underlying beliefs and fears that fuel anxiety and these can be categorized into a few key areas like core beliefs, fears, negative thinking patterns, etc. Let's start to discuss and share these behaviors and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Did you join us in the Anxiety Support Chat? It is available every Wednesday for the entire day. [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php]

Accepting anxiety as a part of your life.

...See more I know, this is a pretty wilds statement. How can I accept something as a part of my life if it literally tries to ruin my life on a daily basis?! Well I've done some thinking. Sometimes bad things happen in your life that you have absolutely no control over, like an accident or a loss. For that you often hear about the 7 stages of grief.  1. Shock 2. Denial 3. Anger  4. Guilt  5. Depression  6. Reconstruction  7. Acceptance  This does fall into the category of grief, but as i was looking i found myself relating to these steps in terms of my anxiety. The only difference is that go through a new episode of anxiety on a daily basis. I came to the conclusion that if a person is able to heal after going through these 7 steps when the go through grief, then I can heal my daily episodes by ensuring that i go through all these steps a day and not get stuck on Anger or Depression. This will allow it to build up, eventually making it worse.  Try doing some self reflection at the end of the day, checking where on the list you got stuck today and try again tomorrow.  You've got this!

Let's share our stories about The first time we felt the grip of anxiety release a little The first time we woke up and our heart was relaxed The first time we learned something that was a like an epiphany and it was like a light in the darkness, helping us to rise up and take a few steps forward in conquering anxiety.

...See more Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well today. I wanted to create a conversation where we can share the little things that help us feel reassured when anxiety creeps in. It can be anything—something common, unusual, small, or big! We all have our unique ways of finding reassurance, and I believe that sharing these can help us feel more connected and supported, and might inspire someone else in our community! I’d love to hear from you! What are three things that help you find comfort when anxiety strikes?

...See more Take a moment to just say something jovial and/or silly. A moment to just let loose and be the old you. Say something in a funny or witty mannerism. Do something free spirited. Do or say something that you used to say or do before anxiety came around. Or even put on an outfit that you used to love to wear. Do a little dance. (of course ignoring the anxiety as we have been practicing). Sometimes you just need to hear your own voice again. To feel like yourself again. It has helped me recently to speak in the mannerisms I used to speak. Joking to myself. Being witty. Even fiesty haha. It helps to hear our own voice amidst the noise in our heads. So take some time to just be your old self again. You're still YOU. Wonderful, smart, you. You just need a reminder. We got this guys. We are going to kick anxiety's butt to the curb and step out better and brighter than ever.

...See more Hi there, Not sure if there's anyone else who has experience with this but - my partner is leaving for his job soon and I feel like we have become really distant which is giving me a lot of anxiety about losing him. He says he's not going anywhere (in terms of our relationship) but I still feel like something is off. Thoughts?

...See more My therapist wants me to get out more and socialize.  I have been going to Meetup.com events. I went to one last night. I don't get lonely from being alone but I do feel lonely from being in a group I don't feel I belong in. I managed to last just over an hour in total before I became so depressed that I could no longer stand it. I am still depressed nearly a full day later.

...See more Looking for a permanent listener. It's really tiring to share everything from scratch to every new listener and sometimes they are not able to get. It's not their fault either. I will be kind and humble to you too and respect your time. Thank you.
Job stress and anxiety

...See more I have a part time job I like but there have been some big changes in the company causing me anxiety. I am a field rep for a 3rd party vendor going to various retail store doing projects for different products.   I can make my own schedule and flexible hours.  But now I'm being told I no longer have my local territory and will just be filling in for reps that are sick or on vacation and such.  This just blindsided me.  I have work scheduled through next week but that's it.  I really don't want to find a different job in this field.  I'm having major anxiety. 
Losing own self...

...See more Ever happened with you guys That you are a person with a giving nature, You can't say No to people and demand what you #Need and People who are constantly getting from you, taking everything you can give has no concern about your need and wellbeing? Never give any thought what you may need? Never show respect for ur space? All they are taking your generous nature for granted?  And at the end of the day you feel so wasted and empty that you can't give your self anything?  No time to work on your own dreams and hobbies?  You feel horribly empty?  The fear of losing own self is horrific.. Horrific... Horrific 💔
