One thing my anxiety has taught me is.....
I need to communicate my feelings more and not feel like I am being a nag. My anxiety comes from suppressed emotions that I feel aren't a biggie
So true
yuppp
My anxiety has taught me to breathe and focus in the worst moments.
definitely!
It has taught me to understand why I feel the way I do, and that if I really examine the fear behind a situation, it really isn't as bad as it seems
Same here!
That my mind loves to play tricks on me.
The #1 thing I learned from 7 Cups about anxiety is,
It is possible to have a minor anxiety attack.
I have anxiety attacks a lot more than I thought.
Everyone handles emotions and situations differently.
so true
I make really poor decisions without any forethought whatsoever. I jump conclusions, get windup and cause harm one who I love with all my heart through my words. It had cost me dearly in the past and has done so last night. I lost her.
@bl44 I feel your pain. I have done the same mistakes several times in the past. But let us not focus on the outcome. What matters most is that you now realized that you've done something wrong and it is never too late to make it up to her. We are just humans. We all deserve a second chance. Good luck and God bless.
This is so true!
On thing my anxiety has taught me is that the people who love me don't stop loving me when things get difficult.
@Shortygirl427
I can't say the same. She told me she's doesn't love me as she thought she might have. She still loves the one who beat her to beat death and is on jail
@bl44
I'm sorry that you are hurting right now, but remember that you will get through this. You will be able to move on from her. It sounds like she may have some issues of her own and likely shouldn't have been in a relationship, since she still has feelings for someone else. She said she doesn't love you like she thought she did? That hurts to hear, I am sure. But she realizes she didn't love you, and from the sounds of it, she wasn't able to because she is still hung up on someone else who didn't even treat her right. Her judgement isn't the best in this case. We can see that. So, try to realize that she isn't in a position to fall in love, and it doesn't mean you are hard to love. It means she wasn't in a position to love someone right now. You can get past this and find someone who will love you. Remember the saying that some people come into our lives to teach us a lesson, and once that lesson has been taught, they move out of our lives. Maybe there is a lesson in this for you. A helpful lesson. Not a negative one. I still believe that people that love you will stay in your life whenever possible. Don't believe it's different for you. The people who are meant to stay on your life will stay, and the others will go. It's okay, even though it can hurt so much sometimes.
@Shortygirl427
Thanks for the encouragement. You are very kind and apparently smart. Lol
I definitely agree!
Most of the things that I'm worried about now won't be an issue sometime in the near future. If I'm worried about an exam next week or a huge assignment tomorrow, two weeks from now they will have passed and I'll be focused on something else. Even if I'm worried about how my day at work will go, the day is going to end and I'll be at home safe in bed. All things must pass.
This is so true. Some times I look back and think about the things that made me so worried and I smile. The truth is, everything is going to pass. No matter what our worries are, I keep trying to remind myself "This too shall pass"
@Laura
that things are never really as bad as they seem. Everything is fixable. Just because a solution is not readily present doesn't mean you can't find one once you calm down and take the time to do so.

Thank you. Very wise.
Reality as seen while having anxiety is not real but subjectively. Reality is what we think of. Thus while we panic, our reality is panic. Thus while we are calm and safe, our reality is calm and safe. It is hard to realize that our felt reality is flexible. We are not afraid of the things and people around us but of our perspective of things and people....
