Talk back to your worries!
Hello Everyone! 
The lovely @ZizyTheTurtle and I decided we would collaborate together to create a positive thread where you talk back to your worries! 
Anxiety is a type of fear usually associated with the thought of a threat or something happening in the future, but can also arise from something happening in the present moment.
Negative self-talk is a major contributor to daily anxiety. Because its routine for most people, some dont even realize that theyre doing it. It can often result from long-held fears and worries.
What can be done to counter these negative thoughts about ourselves, our future, and the world in general? The answer: talking back to your worries.
In this forum thread, you will be able to voice your worries to the community while also showing others how youre combating your negative thoughts.
Important note: If you dont know how to respond positively to your worries and try to overcome them, one of the forum supporters will help you see what youre worrying about in a different light. Just give it a go! (there are no wrong answers)
An example of this would be:
Thought: Im worried about seeing my niece for the first time tomorrow. She might not like me.
Positive replacement: Its okay to feel like this. I get to feel more connected with my family and enjoy precious time with them. I care about her and will have a great day!
Thank you for reading this thread: wed love to hear your positive responses!

I see my life as a fortune life, living off the bounties from my parents, and whenever they leave out of old age, I am on my own, and if I am unsatisfied and feeling stuck now, just wait, rock bottom will hit.
You need to believe in yourself and your capabilities, also know that God is with you, every step of the way. Have you not been doing well on the job front, you have been employed since graduation, brief unemployment, not many can say that. Being employed and also being unemployed was all at good points in time, you learned and experienced lots. Do not worry about your financial future, it will be fine, people have done it, so can you.
Anticipating a job, which won't materialize in the end, sucks badly
I thought I would not get my previous job, but I did, I thought I would not get employed after my previous job, but I did so in 2 months. Plus, Ive gotren all my jobs on my own merits, not because I knew someone. So how am I coming up with these absurd ideas? I compete, and I can outcompete.
the haters are going to hate, dont let them take you down!
@reservedexcitment I admire your spirit and on top of that you being independent and having done so many . Trust me Excitement, you have done it in the past and I am sure you will continue to do it in the future.
"Take a cold shower. It'll boost your confidence and you'll feel sorry for those who don't".
You know what? I fucking pity anyone who pities anyone else because they don't do things their way. That's truly pathetic.
To myself:
They came back again. The thoughts. They snuck up on me without hesitation. I've been feeling great. I'm connecting with a girl that I like and I'm on vacation.
But they came back.
It was for a brief second. Scrolling through quora mindlessly, reading things like "how should I end my life?"
Remember those thoughts. And always remember what will happen if you do that.
That being said, stop looking at other's success. Stop looking at other's lives. They are not you.
This is my boat. I am the captain. And we're setting sail into the great NoFuck ocean. Because it's a beautiful fucking ocean.

I am so glad you are thinking positively and encouraging others to do the same! Being realistic does end up being up pessimistic, but optimism, that's the secret to living a happy life.
Great post and great idea!
I find it difficult to share my feelings with my friends
I could possibly connect to someone I know when they feel the same. And then we would both understand each other

@DanaMH Hey there! If you're interested in helping out with our anxiety community - or, really, any community - this forum thread may interest you. Good luck!
My insecurities related to friendship! I keep having this feeling that all my friends are going to go away from me or that my close friends are going to get distant in the sense that we may not have the kind of emotional bond that we share/used to share.
I really need to change this and just be in the moment and enjoy the time that I get to spend with them. No one knows what the future might bring!
@ShadlokVance I like that optimism :) awesome job!
Thank you for this post.
@gloriousSunrise61 Thank you for reading it!
Do you ever look back on something you said 8 yeas ago like: Wtf was wrong with me, am I not human?
I was downright depressed yesterday thinking of a very close friend of mine at college who wishes to migrate to some other college. I could not imagine getting through the day without seeing her.
Then I realized that it was better to not have some in our lives and realizing their woth than having them and not knowing their value. So I decided to make each moment I spend in her company count...
