Anxiety and my thoughts on mine
I'm starting to see a pattern with my anxiety. I worry about health and hospital appointments more than anything else. If I have to deal with anything health related I have racing thoughts and panic. I now have to give myself rest days wherein I choose not to deal with things. Just to stop myself from feeling overwhelmed. If I need to make a phone call it can wait until tomorrow if I've already dealt with allot today. Because otherwise I try to do everything right now and then feel ill. The only problem I have with this is that thing then bugs me until I've done it. I worry about what I should say and I rehearse it over and over in my head. Having anxiety is to live your life inside your head. It's as if I have this need to get out of my head. I often journal random thoughts to try to get them out of my head. They are not necessarily anxious thoughts, just anything really. I always need a distraction from the monotony of the anxious thoughts. One thing I love to do is look at different fashion styles, lately on tik tok. I can get lost on there for a while and its a great distraction. I want to do more crafts and reading but on the worst days I just can't sit and concentrate. Atleast with tik tok I can walk around and watch until I calm down.
