Accepting the anxiety?

And accepting the anxiety, maybe? I did that last night and slept for nine hours for the first time in two weeks!

That seems like a thing I would like (acceptance, sleep…). So… what is accepting anxiety?

I also think just accepting it helps too. Sometimes I’ve been able to say, okay, I feel like shit tonight. I am going to just lie in bed and try to sleep, and I will feel better tomorrow, and I did mostly.

Well, there’s one way. Um, that doesn’t work for me. Maybe different anxiety sources?

Yeah that’s how I would put it. Sometimes it works but absolutely not always.
