I've been through so many traumatic events in my life that I can't even put them into words. 2020 was a dream year compared to 2023 and 2024. This year has been one of recovery in many ways.

A telling example is that this week, from Monday to Friday, was nearly perfect. I felt fine, and current events are going well, considering the circumstances. But on Friday, when I finally got off work and was supposed to relax, I fell into a deep mental pit. At 3am, I woke up in the midst of a pretty bad panic attack. My autonomic nervous system was in a state of shock.

Today, I feel somewhat baffled by all this. I know I can cope - and I will thrive. This too shall pass; it will just take time, perhaps months or years. This too makes me stronger.

#SelfSabotage can be a major obstacle in #anxietyRecovery. It can involve unhelpful thoughts and actions that keep us from moving forward. To stop it, consider joining a peer support group, increasing #selfAwareness, setting mini goals, and practicing #mindfulness.

By challenging and shifting these behaviours, recovery can be improved.

People with #anxiety may not fit the stereotype of being shy or unable to work or socialise.
There is no "type" of person with #anxiety.

Some people with #anxiety may be able to work and socialise, but struggle with #anxiety on the inside.
#BeKind and check on friends and family, as people are not always good at asking for help with their #mentalHealth.

#Anxiety is a symptom and not an illness.

I had accumulated a lot of behaviours that I thought were keeping me safe, but actually fueled my #anxiety.
Recovery requires recognising, addressing, and changing these behaviours.
#Anxiety was never the problem, my behaviour towards it was.

If #anxiety shows up now, there is a legitimate reason for it, not an imagined or unhealthy cause.

Facing our fears is a key part of #anxietyRecovery. It may be scary, but it is necessary for recovery. With guidance, we can learn to live with and process #anxiety in a healthy way.

Remember, all #anxiety is terrible for the person suffering.

#AnxietyDisorder #AnxietyRecovery #AnxietyHealing #AnxietyTips #EmotionalHealth

#AnxietyDisorder can be recovered from with willingness to put in the work and by changing the relationship with #anxiety from fear to understanding. This can stop #anxiety-fueling behaviours and eventually lead to a relatively #anxiety-free life. Recovery may seem difficult, but it's worth it.

#AnxietyRecovery #AnxietyHealing #AnxietyTips #EmotionalHealth

#BeYourself - embrace your uniqueness.

It’s your value and something you should feel comfortaЫe expressing.
Suppressing your uniqueness drains your energy, #selfWorth, and #selfBelief.
Stop trying to meet expectations or fit in with others.
Respect and #loveYourself for who you are, and gⅳe yourself the freedom to do what you enjoy.

Be unapologetically unique and own it with pride.

#introduction time for this NEW INSTANCE…
I’m an #aussie who is keenly interested in #politics #auspol #uspol. I’m a #pagan #atheist #brehon with a raging #anxietydisorder #anxiety and used to use the bird site to scream into the void which did my mental health no end of good. I love #hiking and #fitness and tend to rescue stray animals. My best friends are on social media and I legitimately struggle with that. I’ve met some wonderful people on the bird site and I hope the all make it here…

Just realised I haven’t done the customary #introduction
