I don’t think I have anxiety, but I daydream waaaaay too much. From like when I wake up to when I go to bed, dreaming of a perfect reality. Like it kinda affects me at work , I’ll not be paying attention then when I come back I have no clue what to do. I can’t imagine it’s a healthy way to live the day out. Not that I feel like “fuck i gotta get through this day somehow” but it’s just that I daydream too much.
A gradual controlled exposure to things that cause me anxiety. For example, if I’m afraid to talk to strangers, I start by going to a public place and keeping to myself. Next time I might make eye contact a few times, or maybe smile. Next I might ask someone for the time, or talk a little with a cashier. You get the point. I focus on my breathing, and remind myself of other situations where I was anxious, and it turned out okay. Instead of pushing the anxiety away, I accept it and pay close attention to how it feels–the slightly sick feeling, the quick heartbeat, ect. I just pay attention to the physical sensation and accept that it will be there while I do whatever it is that needs to be done.
