| Topic | How seriously do you take your mental health? |
| wwinterj25 05/26/23 1:26:38 PM #26: | TomNook posted... It's pretty easy to not take things seriously or get worried. Not as easy as that. For example I'll feel heart palpation due to anxiety, my brain tells me it's my heart and I'll have a heart attack and the cycle repeats. This is just one symptom I get with anxiety and they are many. My motto is, "if you ever feel overwhelmed, just remember that you're going to die". It immediately relaxes me, and causes me to live in the moment and enjoy life. This won't work for me as I fear death. Even though it's futile to do so. Blue_Thunder posted... I think most can if they work at it. That's basically how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works IIRC: identifying your negative thoughts and countering them with more positive and realistic ones over time. That and stuff like mindfulness. Being in the now and not wondering "what if?". Anxiety always likes to ask that question and it isn't easy to stop that question being asked. I do enjoy guided meditations with mindfulness stuff that sorta helps but other than that CBT didn't work for me and as I didn't want meds again the doc said they can't help me. :3 --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj ...
