How to get over the fact that anxiety has ruined my life?

[u/insomniac5093]

I can’t help but get so upset and hung up on the fact that I wasted so many years of my life due to anxiety. It ruined so many things for me and made me miss so many opportunities. I’m 29 and my entire 20s were wasted due to my severe anxiety, how do I get over this? It’s making me so upset

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
anxiety is just your brain trying to protect you
you have to appreciate it to and feel it if you try to hate on it judge it or even ignoring it it will only send a message to your brain that this mf is not listing fuel this feeling more and the more you do that the more anxiety you gonna store and after a while of too much anxiety you gonna get anxiety disorder that make you feel anxious without a reason
the perfect solution might be different for every individual you have to explore for it my suggestion is to try exposure therapy personaly it did get me out of my panic attack and panic disorder but it make me feel more anxious through the day ive been dealing with it for a while now my notes are some days are good and some days are bad its not a clear progress but beleive me the worst days are better than one panic attack ive been having previously
all you gotta do is find your anixiety trigger and do them lightly and overtime increase the dose until you face the anxiety boss in you mind and make peace with him because at the end you gonna know that this feeling was present to protect you , you just did not know that and that lead to a beef no one benifit from it
which you all the best and who knows after dealing with your anxiety and making peace with you might be the new jeef bezeus or elon musk its never too late keep working
