I'm having anxiety about my body. Anybody care to help me get past it?
I'm sorry to hear that you're having anxiety about your body.
To get past it?
Hmm.. well for me, going to therapist / going to therapy was something that helped me tremendously with my anxiety. But one way to try to get past the anxiety you feel about your body is to challenge the anxious thoughts that have related to your body with a Cognitive-Based Therapy technique / exercise that I found from 7 Cup's Self-Help Guides Impact>Self-Help Guides> Anxiety :
Challenging Faulty Thinking Exercise (Barlow, p. 101)
Instructions: Identify a single faulty thought or belief and answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper:
What is the evidence for and against this idea?
Is your belief a habit or based on facts?
Are your interpretations of the situation too far removed from reality to be accurate?
Are you thinking in all-or-nothing terms?
Are you using words or phrases that are extreme or exaggerated? (i.e., always, forever, never, need, should, must, cant, and every time)
Are you taking the situation out of context and only focusing on one aspect of the event?
Is the source of information reliable?
Are you confusing a low probability with a high probability?
Are your judgments based on feelings rather than facts?
Are you focused on irrelevant factors?
Hope this helps somewhat!
I wish you the best of luck with any anxiety that you're experiecing and in general!
