Be Grateful that you are getting stronger every moment you face the anxiety. Dont resist the anxiety, let it all out and face it. YOu will realise its a figment of your mind. You are far bigger than any anxiety that your mind is going through. Your awareness will dissolve this anxiety. Be patient and love yourself every moment. Practice silence and present moment awareness and you will be amazed that you can face anything. There is no weight that you cannot lift. WIth every problem situation comes the inner strength and solution to face it. Be patient and be grateful to your self when it dissolves.

I find distracting to help. For example, if I am having anxious thoughts about a test, I will force myself to think about something else. So instead of thinking about the test, I would describe in detail an object that I can see such as my shoe.

Try and find a calm peaceful place in your thoughts take time out when you can
Give yourself one hundred per cent of your own time to you if only for one minute
Try and work out what is at the root of the cause of your anxious thoughts
Can you simplifiy it ? Remove it? Resolve it ?

Think about something that makes you happy, or do something that you can get involved in quickly and wholly. Talk to someone who you trust.

Accepting, in that moment, that anxiety is just an emotional reaction. Just like any other emotion we may feel, so is this. It is not intolerable, even though it feels real crappy.

It's not always easy for people to just let go of the anxious thoughts in our mind unless we then know things are okay. Alongside, they vary for people. Some say do something normal like tie your shoe, calm yourself down, do something that makes you happy and that might calm your nerves a bit.

It's easiest for me when I'm with a certain person. Like, a positive friend who can distract you for the time being? :)

Focus on breathing in through your nose for 7 seconds then wait 4seconds and slowly exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds and that will calm you down and make you feel relaxed

Everyone is different. There is no one answer fits all. But you could try finding something that works for you. A hobby , or something that helps to take your mind off things. Like meditating or reading, or something that you like to do. Listening to music, or even come to 7cups of tea to talk.

Think this: it is just a phase. It will pass soon. Right now I need to focus on taking care of myself. Drink some water. Get some rest. Talk to someone that you trust.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
