I Have Anxiety
Sometimes I need reminding of things, like a friend told me "your anxiety only shows your bravery for dealing with reality."
It was a helpful reminder because I often tend to demonize my anxiety and think it's "wrong" for being there and there I shouldn't feel this way and have to try my best to get rid of it or to do anything to prevent it. I was scared of being scared. Instead of applying understanding to my anxiety, instead of seeing it as actually not a "wrong" but normal response to life and some of the things I am dealing with.
It's not much but just applying some understanding and compassion to my fears does help to calm me.
