Lies we can sometimes believe every single day, for years.
But you’re not the only one suffering and these thoughts are very common.
Here’s 17 lies your anxiety is telling you.
You cannot be trusted to remember anything
So you must continue to write every single solitary thing down. In case you forget something world-ending.
Everyone is staring at you. And judging you
You’ve worn something new to work, you’ve tried that new hairstyle, and everyone has noticed. And not in a good way.
Is your grandmother not picking up the phone? Best go out and buy something black
Because she’s not just at her Bridge Club. Or pottering round in the garden like she does every afternoon.
8 simple everyday tips for dealing with anxiety that actually work
These palpitations are a heart attack. You are having a heart attack on the toilet at workBecause as if exiting this mortal coil wouldn’t be bad enough, everyone will talk about you for months afterwards.
You need to get used to having panic attacks, because they’re not going anywhere
Because there’s obviously no way of you learning to control them.
Your friends are fed up of you
They are totally over how much you worry about the smallest, silliest things.
You? Go on a date? You’ll just embarrass yourself
Why on earth would anyone want to listen to what you’ve got to say anyway? Just cancel it and stay at home.
16 things you only know if you have anxiety
All your hard work is ruined…Because you didn’t go to the gym for a week or made one mistake at work.
You’ve got to go out and meet a new group of people tonight. You won’t manage to hold this together
They’ll think you are an absolute fool.
You need to achieve all your life ambitions in the next 12 months
You just do. You can’t possibly get things done the year after next. No way.
You didn’t send that email before you left work. You’ll be sacked without a second thought first thing in the morning
You had better lay awake until 3am worrying about that.
6 things not to say to somebody with anxiety
The person you’ve been seeing for a while hasn’t text you back for four hours. It’s all overThey’re bored of you. They have met someone else far better looking. They’re almost certainly not just a bit busy.
It’s all you.
Even though everyone just laughed at your joke, they still think you’re an idiot
They’re just laughing to appease you. The minute you go to the toilet they will start talking about how dumb you are.
In a relationship? You will mess it up
Because you spend so long worrying about stuff. Which will drive your other half to insanity.
Heaven forbid you might find someone that actually understands or you might get better.
Even if you get the courage up to talk to someone, they will think you are crazy
No chance you might stumble across someone that feels the same or gets where you are coming from.
You are crazy, let’s be honest
Because nobody in their right mind would spend that many hours worrying about a text message.
Or worrying about if the chicken in the fridge is going to kill them.
Or that all their friends will soon stop talking to them for no reason.
This is how you are going to be forever
There’s no help and no way to get your head round the amount you worry.
So just sit there some more and worry about the worry. Don’t consider talking to someone. Just worry some more.
