Thank you for such an honest post on anxiety! I have tried some of the things that have helped you and they have also helped me too. It is such a great thing you guys are doing to bring awareness. You are absolutely right, you can't just push anxiety away or just think yourself out of that feeling. Anyone who has experienced anxiety knows it does not work that way. I am in a stage now that I can recognize and acknowledge my anxiety. I no longer feel define by it or feel weak because of it. This has made things easier for me even when I feel anxious. Thank you for such an honest writing. It makes me not feel alone.
