Any help calming anxiety?? What do you guys do when feeling anxious? What helps ?
I focus on my breathing, remind myself that this is a strong feeling but the feeling can't hurt me, and pay attention to it as it rises, peaks, and falls away. Easier said than done.
Also, I tell myself that I don’t need to know why I’m feeling anxious I just feel anxious

I’m learning how to just accept it. Like just let the feeling be there. It is hard because you feel like you need to do something because something feels wrong but you Just have to let it be there. Also, what helps me is thinking about the last time I had a anxiety attack. It was scary but I came out of it, it didn’t hurt me. It’s just really scary.
I try to put all of my focus into doing something, whether that’s reading, sitting in front of a fireplace, or going on a walk. When I notice myself getting distracted, I try to be kind to myself and guide my attention back to whatever it is I was doing. Not always easy, but definitely helps me calm.
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
whats up guys what are some tips dealing with ocd and what to do when a thought makes u anxious ??
How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have
