How to 'accept' anxiety

[hopeful]

Whilst reading through old threads I read this,written by Meg.
You have to accept anxiety in the same way that you accept that today is Tuesday.
Today is Tuesday,what can I do to enjoy the day?
This is anxiety,what can I do to enjoy the day?

It struck a chord with me and may help someone else to understand about accepting the feelings/symptoms of anxiety.

Today may be Tuesday, Today may be crap.

But I know it only lasts 24 hours and Wednesday could be different. If it isn't, so what as I have total hope that the sun will come out eventually.

It takes a long time to accept it - I have had this nearly 4 years and only this year have I accepted it more. I still feel crap but have no reason to go to the GP anymore on a regular basis as I understand my symptoms now, and they are much more stable.

Meg is a wise woman.

funny i just wrote in another post that exceptance is the key maybe ,
really think it is true.

I agree with everything that's been said, we are who we are , if we can admit to that then we can get some understanding of our anxietys and start to get through them and hopefully acceptance will follow . This site has been a huge help in helping me understand more about myself, I think i would still be really struggling if it wasn't for all the great people ive spoken to on here, thanks all xx

i totally agree acceptance is the key, once you have reached the stage of accepting you have a different view of any symptom and are able to deal with it in a more affective way, rather than being the anxiety.
