Dealing with anxiety

Naming Anxiety

Anxiety thrives in the shadows, gaining power through unspoken fears and nameless dread.  The initial act of identifying what you're feeling – "I am anxious", "I feel overwhelmed" or even simply, "I'm not okay right now" – is a profound step toward reclaiming your inner landscape.  This is not an admission of defeat, rather a courageous act of emotional honesty.  By giving your anxiety a name, you begin to understand its contours, its triggers and its impact.  It transforms from an amorphous threat into a tangible experience that can be examined and addressed.

Recognising that anxiety is a common human experience is crucial in this process. You are not an anomaly for feeling this way.  Acknowledging these emotions, instead of suppressing them, allows you to move towards effective coping strategies and seek appropriate support.  Naming anxiety can be a challenging first hurdle, requiring vulnerability and self-awareness.  However, this act of emotional honesty fosters self-compassion, reminding you to treat yourself with kindness during moments of distress.  Help break the collective silence surrounding anxiety and initiate open conversations, fostering understanding and support for us and others.
