I appreciate so very much your vulnerability and transparency in this share. Watching you live on Behance, I would have never guessed you suffer from any of these issues. I too have suffered from debilitating anxiety while raising children and catastrophic worry. One never know what someone else is going through. I am so happy you have found ways to cope and retrain your brain, it is no easy feat! One thing that I have learned from therapy as 2 mantras: “where is the proof and evidence?” (Of the irrational fear) and telling myself “there is no emergency”. This has helped me get through 100s of panic attacks over the years. When I had breast cancer in 2020 (a lifeline worry I had anxiety about) all my anxiety stopped- “because the anticipation and anxiety of getting it was no longer there, I had it.” Since I faced my biggest fear, battled it and won I have realized how much time I wasted “worrying” over the years and now can live in the moment so much more bc I know each day is not guaranteed. Keep sharing and creating, and I wish you the very best with your serenity!
Congratulations on being a survivor! It does seem frustrating that such a big and scary event in one's life is sometimes the only thing that forces a change in perspective, but I have friends who have had similar experiences. Thank you for sharing this, and for reminding me to stay focused on what matters. Living in the NOW is a daily challenge.
