Last night I was doing my best to just ignore the thoughts and it brought my anxiety down, but now I woke up worried that instead of ignoring them I just accepted them as truth but the anxiety isn’t there. Has anyone else experienced this?
repression doesn’t help. so maybe once you stopped repressing the thoughts the anxiety went away. let the thoughts flow through you without stopping to consider their meaning
I’m having a hard time with that, mainly because I worry that they’re true if I don’t push back. But I also fell into a lot of unhealthy compulsions yesterday, which feels like is somehow adding to the feeling like I’ve given into the thoughts and that they are actually true
