In my personal experience, when I say "my anxiety" I'm referring to my chronic, diagnosed anxiety disorder not just the emotion. Not that the two are mutually exclusive of course. I mean, I feel anxious when I shouldn't because of my anxiety. It has been co opted into referring to just feeling anxious. I think is a symptom of a larger issue, a lot of people treat mental health struggles as something quirky or even something to be romanticized rather than something that should be taken kinda seriously. Anyways, those are just my thought, which are of course very subjective.
I love the grounding and calming techniques you shared! A lot of those have really helped me too! (Of course I am very single so it's a heavy blanket or my cat, not a husband in my case lol) Both chronic anxiety and feeling anxious are no fun so it's good to have things you know make you feel better!
Thanks for being honest and open about your anxious feelings, Abby. I get that way often at bedtime and will use some of your techniques. I try to distract myself out of it and the things you shared will help.
I really needed this article about anxiety in my life right now. Thank you

I love hair bows! Even our program director at work rocks them! They make me feel super feminine and dainty 😂
I've always loved hair bows! I have a collection and they're my favorite hair accessory! Nothing juvenile about feeling beautiful 🥰
Hi! I'm trying to get into book club. I didn't realize there was a different process than before so I hadn't RSVPd. Excited to talk about the book :)
I RSVP'd late! Can I still join? I think I missed getting the link :(
RSVPd - where will the link end up?
