It might feel like it'll last forever, but it won't
When anxiety strikes, it can be all too easy to imagine it will never go away. The physical symptoms – a beating or palpitating heart along with a constant sick feeling in your stomach – plus a mind working in overdrive become so consuming that you can't remember a time when you just felt normal.
The problem is, that fear of anxiety never leaving you – of never being able to feel like you again – can ultimately cause your bout of anxiety to be prolonged. If you've found yourself in a thinking pattern like that, one way to help yourself out of the cycle is to logically and rationally remind yourself that this intense feeling of anxiety won't last forever. It physically can't. suggest remembering when you feel like this phase will never end:'Cheer up', 'calm down', 'stop overthinking'… if you suffer from anxiety, you may be tired of being told to essentially 'wish away' your fears.
Other things to look out for include assuming the worst , or mind-reading . Noticing yourself having these thoughts is the first step to controlling them. Then you can start challenging yourself on these assertions. Is it really that black and white? Are there shades of grey? Are you making assumptions based on little evidence?You may be keeping your worries bottled up to avoid 'being a burden' or showing vulnerability to friends, family or colleagues.
