I suffer from extremely bad anxiety. It’s so bad that even simple tasks become nearly impossible for me to do. I can’t stop the negative thoughts which bubble up from inside my gut, travel to my brain, whereupon the appropriate emotional response is triggered, regardless of what my rational mind thinks.

I have been practicing being ‘present.’ It’s been helping.

However, being present doesn’t have enough power when I have these moments where the anxiety just goes to level 10 and I can’t make it stop without repeating something in my head until my unconscious mind forgets what it was doing it stops for whatever reason.

So I want to have a phrase or two or three I can remember well, that I can use to repeat in my head when the anxiety hits me.

Something like “I’m the shit and everyone should love me and whoever doesn’t, fuck em up the ass and keep on truckin’” except something probably shorter that makes more sense lol.

Any ideas?
