Welcome to Solutions for Anxiety Village where the host of this community is a fellow peer, that has struggled with the brutal reality of social anxiety, panic attacks and generalized anxiety since adolescence. The journey to remission has not been easy, but I have to say it is worth it. It feels overwhelming & can create fear- bc you don’t know if you will be ok, so then the choice becomes acting as if you are ok and continuing to strive as if it’s not there or to surrender to the mental illness as if you are serving a life sentence. I’m here to say neither have to be the case- I saw that bc I tried it. For year, to ignore it in public, trying to maintain jobs and pursue college when I wasn’t ok inside, it felt like I was being forced to do these things and to suffer in pain all day. So one day, I quit another job, I surrendered to my Current level of functioning and decided that I would get into remission & heal or die trying. It was scary bc I felt alone, misunderstood what are the chances? I just wanted a shot to live the life God created for me. Along the journey I learned the affirmation “where I am now is not where I will always be“ and let me tell you if you commit to being honest about where you are and surrender to trying anything that may help you to find the right combination of supports, they will create each step that you can firmly stand on to where that affirmation is 100% true. the truth is there’s no quick fixes or someone to say do this system and you will get this result. The journey has to be personalized and each person has an invitation to take their journey. This page serves as a support to understand the wisdom and the commonalities that I have found in our shared mental health recovery in order to keep going, to make progress, to figure out what tools are right for us and to share amongst the community insights along the way. Not a one size fits all buy this by that… but an actually community of mental health recovery seekers.

🌿 A gentle reminder for anyone dealing with social anxiety that was managed but is popping back up ☕️

Sometimes symptoms come back. Sometimes you feel that old familiar fear rising in your chest and your mind immediately jumps to the worst thought: “Oh no… am I going back to how bad it used to be?”

If that’s you right now, you’re not alone. And you’re not failing.

When anxiety reappears, it’s completely normal to feel scared about regressing. Your brain remembers how hard things once were, so of course it reacts. But here’s the part we forget in those moments:

You’re not the same person you were back then.

You have tools now.
You have experience now.
You have language for what’s happening.
You have support you didn’t have before.

That means even if the symptoms feel familiar, you are meeting them with a completely different level of strength and awareness.

It’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to feel frustrated.
And it’s okay to take a step back while you regroup.

What matters is that you keep using the tools that do help, let go of the ones that don’t, and stay open to adjusting your approach as you grow. Healing isn’t linear, but it is possible — and every time you work your personalized tools, you’re reinforcing the path forward.

You won’t stay in this place forever.
You’ve climbed out before, and you can climb out again — sometimes even further than where you were.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing better than you think. 🌿

This page is dedicated to encouraging you to find resources that help you to live a fulfilling life as you move through the challenges of anxiety. There will be many tools that can help you on your journey and remember like anything else small steps is still progress and those small steps compound into major progress after a while. The key is to not give up. Remember nothing changes if nothing changes, moving past the resistance of staying where you are at is important and remember resistance is normal when making any type of change. One tool I have found that helps consistency in trying tools to see if they work for you or not. Here we do not promote any specific tool because we believe that every person is different and every person should be able to try different tools to see what works for them. Consistency when trying to find something that works is key, and even if you don’t have time to do something fully doing part of it is better than nothing. Meditation is a tool that may help some of you☀️ below are some of the benefits.

A lot of times, anxiety and people pleasing go hand-in-hand. The therapist Ross Rosenberg has created the codependency cure and on the left are the core issues that caused this pathological loneliness, people pleasing etc. in order to receive love. A lot of time social anxiety can be induced and at the core I have found for myself is codependency. On the right hand side are the steps from bottom to top of healing. He has a YouTube channel that explains a lot that I would highly recommend. I don’t receive any funds. I actually found it, and wanted to share it with all of you because I feel it can be a very valuable resource to healing. Let me know if any of it resonates.

The journey of healing from social anxiety and anxiety in general is a unique and personal one. When I first started my journey I thought the goal was to not have it anymore, get rid of it at all costs because if its gone then I won't feel anxious anymore. It took me years to realize that the goal is not to rid yourself of it, triggers will always be there, but the goal is to know what to do for you when triggers arise.
In order to figure out what works for you is to get to the point that you are willing to be open minded about trying things that maybe you normally wouldn't. Essentially you are finding your perfect recipe of tools, taking bits and pieces or the whole pie of a coping skill and making it into your perfect concoction to find healthy relief when triggered. Where I would start is by being honest about where you are at, this like life is a dance between being ok with where we are but knowing "where I am now is not where I will always be"( an affirmation I used over and over from my aunt, feel free to take it as your own:) this provides hope and is true. Acceptance of where you are at allows you to build on a solid foundation. Next healthy emotional relief is very important. People usually try some or all: Medication, EFT, acupuncture, meditation, C*D, prayer, aroma therapy, high Intensity interval training/exercise, dancing/ art any type of creative hobbies, guided visualizations (insert your own, explore and when things come your way try to be open to trying it, instead of deciding it won't work ahead of time)

The goal is to not just try them here and there but consistently, and take the parts that absolutely work and try new ones when needed. Use a variety and know that its worth it, because they will be oars in your boat getting you from where you are to where you want to be/goals.
