Hello


I've recently been looking at anxiety apps on the net, there are quite a few. None I found really great but just bits and pieces here and there. I recite the following to myself every morning, or just write them down again to take my mind off anxiety and the related physical symptoms

REALISTIC THINKING

Anxiety is time limited
This feeling will pass, it never lasts forever
I can get through this
I can't predict the future so stop guessing
I can't control everything so I don't need to try
I can feel anxious but not let it stop me doing things
I don't need to assume the worst

IN THE THICK OF IT

All I have to do right now is keep breathing. That's my only job, just breathe

I'm doing the best I can

I've felt this way before and survived. I can get through this now.

This feeling won't last forever. It will eventually fade

Feeling like I can't cope doesn't mean I can't cope

How I feel right now is just the way things are right now

The way I'm feeling is perfectly natural under the circumstances
