A year or so ago I was in therapy and together with my therapist it was discovered that I suffer through a cycle: anxiety, anger, depression. I was working on doing CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy which is changing how I think when these episodes occur. For me, that is all too often.
I know a lot of other people suffer from anxiety so I know I am not alone. I thought it would be nice to share a bit more about myself and who I truly am. I am no perfect person that is for sure.
I also wanted to share one of the key things I learned during my sessions: do not use infinity words. This was a crucial part to me learning how to cope and express myself. By infinity words, those are words such as never or always. By remembering to not use those when thinking or when speaking it has helped to reduce my anxiety. Never underestimate the power of words.
