Is it possible to stop like actual anxiety??

Question

Not like when someone is like lol this is giving me anxiety!! I mean like when you actually do have anxiety , is it possible to somehow train yourself to stop? My mom wants to give me meds but for some reason I just don’t like taking any medicine unless its really necessary ...

Answer

It is possible- I did it. See a councillor because talking about your feelings helps to put everything into perspective. Also, one of the worst things about anxiety are the moments you don't know why you're anxious. As soon as you feel anxious stop and think about your environment, what changed, what is happening? This can sometimes help you to recognise what triggered a moment of anxiety and finally put your finger on what's worrying you. For example, when I was on the process of getting over my anxiety I was perfectly fine one morning (a first in a while) so I listened to some music, then out of nowhere I felt so anxious and had no clue why. So I stopped and processed my environment and what was happening, I realised there was a lyric in the song that I was listening to that mentioned something that Unbeknownst to me in that moment reminded me of my exams and that I was waiting for results and thus triggered off a whole spiral of worries like I'll be lonely, unemployed and then finally a bad mother- I realised how irrational I was being as even if I failed my exams it wouldn't ruin every aspect of my life.  As a result this worry that triggered an episode was no longer such a big deal and I had control over my feelings towards it. Another thing is to face your fears and leave your comfort zone. I was always worried about having a panic attack in public but I decided that I wasn't going to be embarrassed if it happened and that I had to face my fear of going out alone (shopping alone to buy a card became an issue!) m, it was hard and there were many ups and downs but now there is never a day that I'm not out. I'm happier and more confident than ever, however I do have bad days (as I have anxiety) but it's no longer the end of the world.
It will get better you've just got to persevere.
