Weekly Prompt #5: How has your experience with anxiety shaped your perspective on mental health and self-care?

ASilentObserver May 10th, 2023

Hello everyone, I hope you are all being easy on yourself this week.

Last week we discussed How do you find a balance between pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and honoring your limits? Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts for discussion. I enjoyed them. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you.

Anxiety can be a challenging experience. One way to work through anxiety is by engaging in honest and open discussions about how it affects us.

This week's prompt: How has your experience with anxiety shaped your perspective on mental health and self-care?

Remember, everyone's experience with anxiety is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. By sharing our stories and strategies with one another, we can create a supportive community of understanding and resilience. Let's continue the conversation and support one another on the journey toward greater wellness.




Also, you can join the Anxiety Group Support Chat every Monday and Tuesday.

Self-care is not all about the physical and sometimes you can't always win with that. Self-care is forever changing with my mood and growth. I struggle with even having a shower due to anxiety but if I plan in extra mental health self-care I can do a lot more. I find structure is key for me.
