A ‘theory’ that helps me

So I’m lying in bed and all of a sudden thought of something that helps my anxiety over the thought of tu*

I’m not at all a physiologist but what I’ve come to think is that the mind is super complicated, yet when it comes to tu* it’s ‘easy’. I know it’s not easy for us who struggle with this phobia but if you were to say catch a sb*, your brain would automatically do what it needs to do to make you better and feel great again.

Compare this to anxiety. Anxiety goes through so many more feelings than the feelings of tu*. It’s hard to phrase but how I think of it is, if you were to be sick you’d know about it - your brain does it and gets it over with, even if it is a horrible build up. Anxiety on the other hand will be slow. You know deep down you are fine yet your mind is trying to make you feel otherwise, by making you feel all these symptoms such as nausea, bloating, tightness in your throat/chest etc.

You’d know if you are sick - fast easy process, done quick. You know if you are worrying - slow process, annoying but you know it’s not the real deal because if it was you would feel it.

Anyway sorry that made 0 sense but just thought I’d share haha, it seems to have helped me change my mindset a little. I feel as though recognising your anxiety is a good habit to have, at least it seems to have helped me come to terms with my fear a lot more.
