I’m curious because I noticed the medication I’m currently on helps me emotionally regulate myself but doesn’t prevent me from thinking about how it still sucks.

I’m trying my damndest to reframe how I think about things. God is it hard though 😮‍💨

    I do this for anxiety too, I can't make myself less anxious but I can look at a situation that makes me anxious, realize that there's no actual reason for it, and then go and do the thing. My heart still pounds and my hands still shake but I can have a good time anyway.

    This, I think, is what people talking about when they say that anxiety doesn’t go away, but you eventually learn how to manage it
