Why can't I just simply relax? Why can't i just simply take a deep breath and say to myself "there's nothing to worry about"?

For the same reason people with diabetes can't "just make enough insulin" and people with asthma can't "just breathe properly." You can use strategies that can help, but ultimately anxiety is in your body.

I think there's a difference between thinking something and believing it. If what you believe and think aren't aligned you won't be able to relax .

Relaxation does not come easy to everyone, myself included. I have tried lots of things to try to be able to say that. What i have found most helpful is just trying to be mindful. You can always find something to worry about, but if you change "worry" to "love", lots changes. Instead of finding something to worry about, try finding something to cherish or love about your surroundings or where you are in your life.

Sometimes relaxing is an hard thing to do when you are stressed. Even though you are unaware of the stress, you may have a hard time relaxing. Things such as school, work, and social events may be causing you to have a hard time relaxing. Try using a stress ball when laying down, or listening to music to help calm your mind.

Because my mind will never be in a state where it won't have nothing to worry about. Ill always find something to stress about, even if its just my appearance, if there is nothing else to worry about.

It’s possible your mind might be too full to allow anything else to happen, even if it’s not doing anything but relax. The best thing to do is slowly unpack at smaller problems until you can reach the large stuff and once that has been cleared you may feel much better

You will always feel stressed about something even if it's only a little thing, it would be bad if you felt completely relaxed all the time. If you are concerned try different relaxation techniques or remember that if in five years you wouldn't be bothered with what you're worrying about right now, then just try to relax

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?
