@manfred, I get it. I struggle with that. I know that struggle. I do not know if this brings some comfort, but what I do sometimes, is visualize all the people that I share this holding me. So it’s not just me holding the fear, but the love of people. I just think of loving people in my life holding me. My mom, friends, the nice friendly cashier at the store, the dog I walk, my family, as I said I am spiritual, so the love of God holding me (which can be the love in the universe – I am a hundred percent sure that love is there because I have felt it – that strong force is holding me). Your support is a sign of that loving force, of everyone here, of this forum connecting us all, I really focus and visualize that love all around me. The beautiful energy and I describe it more and more specifically. With this loving force around me, it’s easier to feel the anxiety because am being held by something bigger much bigger than myself and I know that can sustain it. It’s not just me, is something much bigger than me which I have no control. So that infinite space is much stronger and can hold it. Then it becomes a bit less difficult to be with that uncomfortable feeling. I have reminders around the house of that love, pictures, little gifts from friends, movie tickets, little teddy bears, and I have them around my bedroom, so if my brain can’t hold the visualization, these little things around, remind me again of that love. Anxiety needs love, fear needs love. It feels less rejected and somehow at some point, it calms down. I think the baby (anxiety) woke up, and needs some attention. That analogy has helped me.
