trying to make a point

my mom believes that anxiety attacks are just something you can “stop having” and that i need to “stop letting it overcome my life”

like or reblog if you believe that’s NOT how it works. because it isn’t for me.

Anxiety isn’t rational. There are limits to the control you’re able to assert over it with discipline and logic.

m’am, with due respect, if people could just ‘stop’ anxiety by willing it so,it wouldn’t be the most common mental illness in the U.S, or the most prevalent mental health or neurodevelopmental disorder in the world as per 2016.

Guess no one thought of ‘just’ stopping it.
