15 Quotes About Overcoming Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the toughest battles you can face in your life, not only because it can wreak havoc on your physical body as much as your mentality, but because it is essentially you against your own mind. The good news is that it can be overcome, and these 15 inspiring quotes about overcoming anxiety will hopefully help encourage you.
In my opinion, the biggest problem regarding anxiety and mental health today is that it's not spoken of enough. There is peace in knowing that you are not the only one who sometimes can't get to bed at night or deal with being in large crowds. There is strength in talking about it to people who know exactly what you are saying and feeling.
In many ways anxiety is a tabooed topic in today's culture. Let's put an end to that. Feeling overwhelmed is not something that we should hide, and the more we discuss it and delve into it in regular conversation, the more likely we will be to conquer it. Whether you are struggling with anxiety right now in your life, or simply want to have some words of wisdom in the back of your mind for the next time it does strike, these 15 quotes can provide a lot of power.
