My anxiety takes over and feeds me lies - I'm not good enough, I'm going to make a fool of myself, I'm going to humiliate myself, everyone is looking at me, people will laugh.
Even sitting here writing this is hard. It's telling me all of those things and more - nobody is interested in what you have to say.
I know deep down that they are lies but they are just so strong and take over!
Then there is that small part of my brain that tries so hard to take control and say "lies all lies, don't listen".
I wish I could figure out a way to make that part bigger and stronger.
My 14 year old daughter has not been able to attend school because of social phobia/anxiety and I don't know how to help her when I can't seem to even help myself.
How do you fight those lies?
