    It’s true acceptance is hard, but it’s so important for our recovery!! When I am experiencing severe anxiety symptoms, it genuinely feels like doomsday! But I am learning to accept the fact that I am okay, and it’s just anxiety symptoms trying to convince me that I’m near deaths door!

      Can I know how to accept wholeheartedly because I try and it’s not easy at all

      @@raymondlee3351 it’s a process, you can and you will. I was able to do it, and I had extremely severe anxiety. But you will get there, the worst thing you can do is try to speed up your recovery ❤️‍🩹 let your mind and body accept the situation first, as you do this you will find coping to be a lot easier. In the meantime remember you’re not alone, we all are fighting this together. But trust me it will get better. After every storm there’s a rainbow.

    So this is my take on my anxiety journey. I recently have gone through multiple traumatic events. I have come to realize I just dont give a crap anymore. Life is hard regardless of what we do at times. It is out on our control. Once this is really what changed in me it went away for the most part. I never have been on a plane and I went for the first time without any anxiety meds. Super proud of myself. One scary thing down more to go. I used to have health anxiety really bad...went away. This is probably not everyones journey but it was mine. I had to be completely broken to fix myself

    Such an insightful and intelligent piece .
    True acceptance is the ultimate destination in finding the peace we crave.
    I've sought to achieve this through various methods without ever achieving a satisfactory lasting resolve .
    Cruelly ,my acceptance is only truly embraced during a major depressive episode , following a chronic severe health anxiety period.
    I realise It is while feeling defeated in the bleak morass of depression, that the inclination to care anymore has deserted me , and I can fearlessly say ' do your f***ing worst'.
    Obviously, there is no solace in finding acceptance in such a distressing manner ,and as such I must strive for more constructive paths to acceptance.

      What I’ve noticed is that when I don’t focus on it, the symptoms get better. But of course I’ve seen other things that scare me back into believing that I have a disease. I try my best to go on about my day, and I am getting better, but sometimes I still just fall into that trap of overthinking and it sucks. I’ve had these “symptoms” for a year and they haven’t gotten worse or better. In fact they only recently got worse when I started doing research and started overthinking. I started feeling every last symptom down to the detail. When I realized this, it all went away. I’m a Christian, so my God helped me a lot too! I’d rather live and enjoy my last few days anyways if I do have an illness.

    Thank you for this❤️ I’ve been currently struggling with accepting my new symptoms and trying not to give them any attention. I’ve been suffering with eye flashes and pressure behind my eye but I’m sure it is coming from my severe health anxiety lately it’s so hard.

    • @lizgil7534

      I had eye flashes at one point as well, that’s what led me to get an MRI with contrast. It was anxiety related.

    I just seem to have continuous one symptom and couple of symptoms of digestive issues and feeling anxious that anxious feeling and anxiety and numb. It’s pretty much every day and I have been to the doctor after doctor after doctor and ER after ER and test after test it is gotten so bad but now I’ve gone to functional medicine doctors And everybody keeps telling me it’s my health anxiety and it just brings tears to my eyes because it feels so real and it’s painful when I start disregarding and not doing my safety behaviors and it drives my anxiety up even further and her thoughts even worse and it just keeps me in that cycle and I just started recovery pretty much today And it’s just incredibly difficult. I mean it’s real I can’t even tell you how many bloodwork and CT scans and doctors appointments and ER visits and MRIs and I mean it’s not even close to even having anything but it’s just it’s just scary. It’s scary and I have to go to the Daya tryst for something real and it’s got me pulled into one of my things that I think I have so I don’t know I just kinda need some support. Tell me it’s gonna be OK but this is normal.

    Do you ever do inner child work ? I find that sometimes I don’t accept things if I don’t acknowledge that my inner self is scared. If I admit that I’m scared I can calm myself down. :)

    I am really struggling with my anxiety. Multiple trips to the ER and my doctor, and there is nothing wrong. Tomorrow I am being sedated for a complicated tooth extraction, and I'm terrified! And here's the kicker, this is my second huge relapse for my anxiety/health anxiety, and the things that worked in the past, aren't working now. And it's causing me to spiral more

    Yes it’s hard for acceptance. I always want to go back to the hospital even though they told me I’m good on everything. I hate vitamin d deficiency because it causes so many problems when you’re low. From anxiety, bone/muscle aches or pains, brain fog, muscle twitching, heavy head, stomach issues and so much more. It’s a long recovery which I hate

    I understand acceptance as I’m in this tolerating stage as well just like what Cherelle said by then when I stop googling or seeing any support group, the twitching is a physical thing and I have feelings so may I know how not to give attention to it when you felt the same twitching because it’s quite difficult , I need some advice if anyone knows
