    Hey, I know it's a bit nerdy to post this, but I have found something that really helps when having a bout of anxiety. And it really speaks to the idea of not fighting anxious thoughts, but rather to accept them. It's the Litany Against Fear from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert:
    "I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

      @@byebyepanic hi Shaan hope you're doing well and safe I wanted to ask because I've been feeling like this for about 3 months now and my doctors told me that it's anxiety with obsessive thought it started because I had alot of intrusive thoughts the first time and I took xanax and I calmed down but then after that I started to worry that what if I lost control and killed myself or hurt myself whenever these thoughts pop into my head I start to be really afraid of them and mind you I never once in my life hurt myself nor attempted to do anything nor did I attempt to do anything those 3 months it's just when the thought pop up I start to feel this dreadful feeling and fear and very anxious. In your opinion it's also part of the obsessive thoughts with anxiety? My doctors said it is

    My biggest challenge is that I haven’t accepted that the thoughts are fake. They actually make sense to me in the moment. I make loose associations that seem super real and legitimate. I try to figure them out and achieve total certainty. I guess it’s not about whether they’re real. It’s about understanding that entertaining those thoughts and engaging them just causes anxiety and unhappiness. It’s not
    About real or fake. It’s about asking myself whether the thoughts and indulging them serves me in any way. Work in progress

    Beautiful 😍 I have anxiety for a long period of time. I think not engaging with these thoughts can help me. But these what if thoughts came so strong, I think I need to figure it out what's really going on. What if there is really some problem? How to differentiate between anxiety thoughts or thoughts that should be noticed for our own benefits. You know what I'm saying?

      Its the anxiety. My mind blows everything out of proportion. I see people aging around me and my mind goes "How pathetic How sad". And then other times my mind says it is impossible to recover. It is me forever. So this is clearly anxiety. Now I can at least spot them when they come. Hopefully they will stop impacting me and making me sad too, with time :)

Also I’ve also convinced myself and reinforced the idea that long term shelter is important for a life of anxious free secuity. How do I sit with this?how should I go about this.
