Anxiety

Dana

Hi. I am looking for any alternatives to get rid of anxiety and negative thoughts that constantly occur about any situation. The actions that followed make me doubting family and friends, and I ask them if something is wrong. They always assure me that nothing is wrong. They explain to me that they are busy. It made me realise that it was only in my head.

Any advice on how to get rid of negative thoughts? It would be helpful. Thank you! Blush

  • One of the main reasons I ended up going to get a diagnosis was the recurring rumination, it was debilitating.

    I still get them, but I know now that they're not real and I need to shut them down and think of something else straight away. It's not easy, it feels like you're ignoring your instincts, but even if you think about thinking about them, you're giving them fuel and they'll grow.

    Try and see them as being completely unrealistic, reassure yourself that they're not real thoughts they're just your brain trying to sabotage your wellbeing....
