I have anxiety.
I have spent nearly 60 years wrangling with it. I’ve learned a lot unpacking my own mental health. So when I offer you comforting words for someone with anxiety, I’m not coming from a position of being a therapist or some other mental health professional.
I’m writing from my heart.
Offering a short positive message for someone with anxiety
I’m going to dive right into the messages, ok?
You can find a ton of great information online about dealing with negative thoughts, meeting a person’s emotional needs, creating a safe space in relationships, and so on.
These are all really important.
Some of the best things I’ve done for myself over the years is to read and listen to others who have traveled this same road.
As far as I’m concerned, we all have some sort of mental health challenge, just like we all have physical challenges at some point in our lives.
And that’s ok.
Challenges are how we grow, right? So the best anxiety quotes for my money are those that point to this reality.
Don’t you love this message? The best thing about it, for me, is it points back to the person wrestling with anxiety and says “you’re doing way better than you think you are”.
Which, for me, has generally been the case.
Anxious people tend to have anxious thoughts and that can be an isolating experience, to be sure.
Having someone else notice that our own struggles can in some way make us a better person; well, that’s just the best place.
