What’s better to handle thought

For me, it depends on the theme and how severe the anxiety is. My go-tos are “I just don’t know “, “I’m not trying to figure this out right now “, and “that would suck”

Don’t react to it at all—that including laughing or talking. Just let it be.

I try to be a passive observer in my own head. Acknowledge the anxiety, try not to give in to the what if, and let it pass.
