Anxiety is something that I have recently come to be officially diagnosed with, I knew I had it for quite some time but I was always afraid to fully come to terms with it, I was ashamed of myself because I use to think people with it were weaker and that was wrong of me. It is an illness that people can not help, there are many people who struggle with it and it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It's something that is perceived as a negative that we can make a positive for ourselves, I am still learning how to deal with it but each dayI have learned to be a stronger person from it, yes some days are harder than others to deal with it but I always do my best to try and get a positive outcome from it. I have a few quotes that help me when my anxiety gets the best of me, so I thought I could share them cause you never know who might benefit from them.
1.) "Take a step back and inhale. You're never given anything in this world that you can't handle. Be strong, be flexible, remember who you are and who loves you."
2.) "The only way out is through."
3.) "Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come."
4.) "Breathe through it and release anything that does not serve you."
5.) "The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."
6.) "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.
7.) "Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can."
8.) "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardship and decide not to surrender, that is strength."
9.) "If you’re going through hell keep going."
10.) "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly."
11.) "At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway."
And I saved my favorite for last
"By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before."
These are just some of the many quotes that have helped me on some of my days that the anxiety try's to get the best of me, hopefully they can help someone dealing with the same situation I am. The biggest thing to remember is to always try your hardest to stay positive and know you can get through it.
