My mom likes to talk about how our brains are just trying to protect us, so anxiety and irrational thoughts are really a way of self-love. But we have to realize that they are irrational. Just that realization is a big deal, so good job there, Xino.  I guess the next step is combating those thoughts. Saying/Thinking stuff like, "Brain, I know you're just trying to protect me, but I'm going to be okay."

One thing I really like to do is list out all the reasons why I'm stressed and then write over everything with a corresponding positive thought. You could try just doing that in your head, since I know you don't like writing things out. Hope this helps! Love you!

I know the feeling.
