wats happening - - thoughts - anxiety - trying to solve the thought to end anxiety - wasting time + more anxiety - endless trap wat to do - - thoughts - anxiety - focus on breathing - mind is on breath hence its calm - intruding thought is still there but anxiety is missing, hence the thought is powerless & u can see that it does not even need ur attention. - keep focusing on breath.. - the thought might never go away or go & come back...but whatever happens its none of ur business anymore... (incoming of the thought is reminder to go back to focusing on breathing). how to focus on breathing : wen u inhale - say 1 in ur mind & focus on the inhaling process. wen u exhale - say 2 in ur mind & focus on the exhaling process.

It’s so difficult without meds (I don’t have insurance right now). And also I have a weird guilt attachment to my mother. She’s so innocent and raised me sheltered and wanting to protect me so even though I’m 26 I run to her confessing like a baby. I feel like I didn’t develop properly because she tried to protect me so much. I ended up feeling suffocated and rebelling once I went to college and it spiraled down from there.
