I would rather _______ then live with anxiety

[nf1234]

Hey folks! I was just thinking how much I hate anxiety and to me it is one of the worst possible things someone can suffer. Anyways I thought it would be fun to see peoples answers to the following "I would rather ________ then have to live with anxiety". It doesn't have to be exactly in those words but I'd like to hear some peoples responses. I think it would be a good venting tool.

For example I am pretty sure that I would take a bullet (not fatal) if I could trade it for never having anxiety again.

Ha! Good idea! I can't even think of anything. I would rather do basically any other horrible thing in life than have to deal with anymore anxiety. I hate the way I feel all the time!

[laurandisorder]

I'd take a non fatal bullet or lose a finger or toe (or both), I'd also skydive (I'm plane phobic), bungee jump or do pretty much anything painful or exhilarating to ensure I'd never have a panic attack or have to worry about anxiety again...

On a very shallow note, I wouldn't shave my head :)

Ha ha i would shave my head just wear a wig till it grows back lol x

I was talking to my therapist the other day and she asked me if I could have three wishes what would they be. My first wish was naturally to get rid if the physical symptoms of my anxiety. I can deal with the thoughts but hate the symptoms! I'm happy to have anxiety in situations that need it- flight/fight responses are important but not when you're just trying to do everyday tasks. In a way I am glad that I have had anxiety as it has made me a apprciate life a lot more, has made me more caring and understanding and turned me into a stronger person. But I would do anything to guarantee I'd never have a panic attack again! Seriously, anything!! I'd give up my flat, my job, I'd shave my head, I'd run naked down the street!

I would rather punch myself in the face than have anxiety

I would donate a kidney to my worst enemy, eat a sea cucumber, and finally id pluck off all my toenails one by one then dip my feet into a vat of rubbing alcohol if it meant feeling normal again!!!

[angie]

I would ride a roller coaster!!! (one of my biggest fears) or even go sky diving if it meant never ever to feel this way again😒

[Velrose]
