Anxiety is the worst feeling ever š
I feel the need of validation to ease my anxiety but most of the time I can't have that validation.. Anxiety is very bad, it cause frequent worries and doubts resulting in fear .. sometimes I wish I could just accept it and tell myself to not care about things I can&t control :[ . How do youu guys deal with this feeling?
@hopefulencounterĀ Well, I was experiencing a bout of anxiety at the mall so I just walked on out of there, got in my car, and blasted music. I shoved candy into my mouth (don't recommend on the daily lol just needed physical things to do). To keep myself occupied, I drove around before heading home and I sang loudly along to the songs. The anxiety only really started to go away when I got home and buried my face into my cat and then talked for at least an hour with my brother about the scientific things I had researched while sitting at the mall- I felt connected, understood, and fulfilled in sharing my passions in a depth and nuanced way. If my brother hadn't been there, I probably would have gotten drunk-
flesh and blood, not paid for, and not rushed human connection is truly the key and it's a pity that it seems to be so scarce these days.
I feel you on the need for validation- I mean, I have the weakness of posting here too lol.Ā
@determinedSea4370 thank you for responding to my post, I really appreciate it. And your story gives me new point of view too .. It's just I feel sad how the people I trusted ended up causing anxiety for me too these days. I trusted them, but lately they've been ignoring me and that's why I'm afraid they'll betray me too.. I hope this is only my silly thoughts.
You got this!
@torontoraptors2 thank you, i'm trying my best. but sometimes my anxiety is justt too overwhelming, it's hard for me to sleep at nightĀ
usually i listened to positive affirmations for anxiety on youtube before i sleep š
@hopefulencounterĀ That's understandable. Experiencing anxiety is never easy.Ā
What I usually do is remind myself what the things are that I'm anxious about - they're exactly what you mentioned, not in our control. That helps me focus more on what is in my control - how I feel and react to it. I usually take a step back, and try breathing or becoming aware of the situation, think about it for a while, try to ground myself to my surroundings. Of course, that's easier said than done, but little steps everyday, no matter how small, can lead to big changes.
Hope this helps!
@EndoraĀ @Endora hello thank you for sharing your experience for facing anxiety with me! š it's been hard for me these days, first I feel sad and lately I become anxious instead of being happy. I'll try your advice, I need to remind myself that everything is ok :'')
@hopefulencounter yess of course! And everything will eventually get better too, just gotta pushing, and remind yourself this as well : we're all here for you! <3
@Endora thank you thank you š«¶š i just want to be peaceful with myself from now on š
@hopefulencounter
It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, and I want to acknowledge how valid your feelings are. Anxiety can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when it leads to constant worries and doubts. Itās completely normal to seek validation from others, but itās also important to find ways to validate yourself. One approach is to practice self-compassionāremind yourself that it's okay to feel anxious and that youāre doing your best in a challenging situation.
@SgtMajorĀ Thank you so much for hearing out my story and also for understanding my feelings.. I will surely try to practice self compassion from now on š. I really appreciate your time and suggestion š I will do my best to fight this anxious feelings I've been feeling even it's tough I'm sure I can go through this.. :")
