Hmm. It takes the Grace of God to overcome anxiety.

Learn to take things easy no matter the situation.

Teach yourself to be calm and collected every time.

I used to be to anxious myself, but I'm learning to control it.

OK shortyy, thanks. I hope you are not short? Lol.. You pretty

Who doesn't?

Honestly, naturally, we all tend to worry too much about everything and anything, including things we have no power over, and that is the root cause of anxiety.
What you have to do is to train your mind on how not to think or worry too much, especially over what you cannot change, by using deflective mechanism .
You said you meditate, what do you meditate on?

Nothing exactly. I just close my eyes, take deep and shallow breaths for 10 minutes. Please what is deflective mechanism? Can you please throw more light?

Meditation does not work unless you're meditating on something tangible

Deflective mechanism, as described by Psych Central , is simply the channeling of unacceptable impulses, thoughts and emotions into more acceptable ones. For instance, when a person has sexual impulses they would like not to act upon, they may instead focus on rigorous exercise. Refocusing such unacceptable or harmful impulses into productive use helps a person channel energy that otherwise would be lost or used in a manner that might cause the person more anxiety.

Are you a Christian?

Meditation.. I do that a lot. It ain't working. I did you use a couple of depression drugs, it became even worse. I totally lost control of myself
ah bro please stop them biko... look even till now that my friend is still suffering from memory loss, even when you tell her something after sometime minutes or hours she will forget everything... please run from any depression drug... there side effects are terrible....

you have to channel your energy with something before meditation work for you...

I don't know if you do weed, like something that my friend was put on medicinal weed ( she lives in the UK) for her head..
Just look for pure weed, not those mixed with anything.. if you stay alone you can use it as tea, then meditate...
it's good for your body
Re: How Do I Cope With Anxiety by mariahAngel(f): 4:11pm On Nov 08, 2020
OBhdae:


Yes

Ok. Let me give you a spiritual and mental exercise to try:

Read the whole chapter of Matthew 6 every single day, focus especially from verse 25-34 again and again... until it ministers to your soul and spirit

Any time you find yourself worrying too much and feeling anxious, meditate on these words of Jesus Christ "Take not thoughts!
Let His word be your deflective mechanism , then eventually, the solution to your problem.

Ow.. sorry about that. It's not something you can get from your local BSS. You have to check a big drug store or pharmacy like health plus or any organic shop in your area.
PM me for my contact.
