Do exposure that are at a level that are hard but manageable/ doable. Then you just have to feel the anxiety until it goes down with time. If you are freaking out when you do it you have chosen one that is too hard. Do you have a hierarchy that helps you know what you are able to do.
Yes I have a hierarchy, I was wondering if anyone had tips to manage anxiety, even on the lower end of the hierarchy.
@hannah85 At the lower end you really have to sit with it. Sorry but that’s what works. ☹️
@Erin P Thank you.
try to fo for a walk or distract your self, if you feel you "can't" touch anything so it make it impossible to distract your self, think of songs that gives you motivation and sing
@MyOcd7 Thank you.
