Hello everyone!

I am still getting to know members of this community, but I wanted to say thank you to those that have offered their support! It is comforting to know I am not going through this alone. :)

I had a meeting today with my therapist and she has suggested that I write down motivational quotes/affirmations to help when I am feeling anxious.

Does anyone else use this technique?

Feel free to post your favorite affirmations!

Ww,

Oh my gosh yes!! Positive mantras are one of my most effective tools!! The messages we send ourselves have so much power...both bad and good!!

My personal go to...especially when I am dealing with physical symptoms is:

"I AM OKAY, THIS IS JUST ANXIETY MAKING ME FEEL THIS WAY."

Even if you don't fully believe what you are repeating to yourself...keep it up. The affirming/ reassuring words will start to have an effect with time and practice of the mantras!

Great job, and keep up the good work with your therapist!

I normally tell myself "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT" and that is enough to get me through a panic attack, although I have never used this method to help reduce anxiety. No matter how many times I go through this, the panic attacks are still very frightening and I feel like I cannot trust myself. Do you know of any other tools to help improve my confidence, SC?

Hi

I am pleased to hear you are finding good support here.

SC has given you a great mantra I also use that one a lot at least multiple times per day at the moment lol.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
