How do people cope with being anxious?
Sometimes it just gets too much and I crumple. But only on the inside, I'm quite capable of not showing it at all and getting on with life, it's just an extra thing to carry quietly.
Music does help me feel calmer at least for a while.
Anyway, apologies.
HiCinnabar_wing I’m sorry to hear about this.
I think anxiety goes with the territory sadly and we do carry it quietly which I feel is where I want to change things I think the more the people around us know about our struggles the better it will be for us.
I am trying this and it is getting ignored by some people but not everyone. I do mainly try to help myself by just concentrating on the next 24 hours and trying no to worry too much about anything other than that.
Hope things settle a bit for you soon.
Thank you Lonehare12 , that's very kind and I hadn't thought of that before. I tend not to tell anyone about it, so you're setting an amazingly brave example by letting people know. It's sad when it's ignored, but glad you are being noticed by some and hopefully getting some support and encouragement.
Do let us know how you get on, and that's a good idea that when it's a lot, just focusing on not too far ahead sounds very wise!
