Anxiety2

Anxiety is also an addiction. You feel the same racing of pulse, the same frantic beating of heart the same butterflies in the pith of your stomach the almost crazy need to do what you promised you wont do. Like it is difficult for a person who is addicted to drugs to come out of the habit. It is difficult for a person with chronic anxiety to quit being anxious. At least in case of a drug addict  there is just one stimulus- drugs. But in case of a anxious person every stimulus that cause them stress or that they fear causes anxiety.  It has to be a very conscious decision not to feel anxious. You need to wake up deciding you wont be anxious today and taking the steps that would help you curb your anxiety. Make a note of things or stimulus that make you anxious and try fighting them. Be strong and decide you wont give in to its power.
 At one point they may seem almost real as if its not something irrational you are imagining but the absolute reality even then dont give in to the anxiety. You need to make a conscious decision and every time you feel the anxiety creeping over you you need to curb it. In time you will see that anxiety loses the power over you and you would feel a lot more liberated.
