Thank you for this video bro. I’ve never heard someone vocalise the (health and general) anxiety in a way that makes sense to my brain! The rumination is definitely a pitfall for me as well but I’ve been trying to be present and look at myslef feeling if that makes sense. Not to necessarily try to force myslef to stop, but just to take notice of it and hopefully take the power away from it. Keep posting and being as consistent as you can. This is great stuff man ❤❤
The avoidance is very difficult to stop and seems completely weird to everyone else. I am at a very low point right now. I am avoiding so many things and isolating to the point that my world is basically just three rooms. I know that if I just took those few steps of exposing myself to what I am afraid of it would help, but I just can't do it. Just looking at things is scary and makes no sense to anyone else. I know I can't do anything about part of what scares me, but I can't let it go. Doctors will tell you that you aren't alone, but it seems like a script. Listening to others that have anxiety actually makes me feel less alone.
It's insanely difficult and the terrible thing about anxiety to me. It's incredibly difficult (impossible?) to logic yourself through something that you know is illogical. However, I will say, it's not impossible to easy the burden. I think easing it is the best that any of us can hope for because truthfully, for me, I know it will never go away completely. But, can I get to a point where it's not crippling me each day? I think so. It's tiring but I also know I can't/won't give up. The fear I have isn't gone, but it's smaller. So much smaller in fact that unless I'm in the exact situation that triggers it, I don't really think about it at all. It's possible friend - I promise. I'm proof. Love and hope to you.
