Anxiety-Specific Affirmations

These are some of my go-to mantras/affirmations for anxiety, panic attacks, stressful or triggering situations and even daily as a maintenance activity. I hope these provide help or solace to anyone who needs these. Please feel free to use, edit, adapt, or even add to the ones I have listed here.

As scary as this feeling is, I know I can get through this.

I am safe

This is a feeling and that is valid, but I know I am okay

I may feel out of control, but I still control my actions

I am more than my anxiety

The past is over, the present is in my control, the future will be okay.

I will calm down

I can calm myself down

I am capable of solving the problems that come my way.

I am not doing this on my own

This feeling is temporary, I will feel better soon.

My brain is just trying to keep me safe

This stress will pass

This trigger will pass

These feelings will pass

I will be okay

This is not the end of the world.

I have survived, and I will do it again

This will not be how I feel forever

I have felt this before and it does end

I am safe and in control

I can relax my body

I will persevere

I am capable of being calm

I am allowed to make mistakes

One mistake will not define me

One bad day will not define me

I can and I will push through

I can do this

All those who are struggling with stress and anxiety right now: Please now that you are stronger than these feelings, you can get through this and you deserve to feel safe and calm. You are not alone, you are deserving and capable of a calmer, happier life. Keep fighting!

Remember to breathe. Sit down. Relax. Stop moving your fingers. Listen to me.

It will be alright.

Do you remember when you felt good and okay? When, even just then, you were positive. You knew that you had made it through all of the bad.

I promise you that if you keep going, you’ll feel like that again. Many times. More and more.

Don’t give up on me.

It will be okay.

Breathe.

honestly it’s okay not to be productive every single day. it’s okay to just do what you’re in the mood for sometimes. it’s okay to relax, it’s okay to take the time to do self care. it’s okay to just be.

Never be ashamed of feeling proud of small achievements. Got out of bed today? Great! Changed into a fresh pair of sweatpants? Amazing! Had two glasses of water? Incredible! Made it out of the house to run some errands? Wonderful! On some days tasks like these seem almost unattainable and that is absolutely okay. Do not be too hard on yourself, instead give yourself credit and allow yourself to celebrate the little victories. You are doing so great.

[anniespositivity]

You are still here. You are still breathing. All the things you have messed up: the words you ended up regretting, the mistakes you made at work or the tests you failed at shool; they simply do not matter. At the end of the day all that really counts is that you are still trying and that your heart is still beating.

eventually, frustrated, someone just asks you: “what’s so hard?” and you stare at them, blankly, and you wonder the same thing yourself.

everyone else just lives. they get up, they go out, they get shit done. why can’t you? why do you find it so hard to do what everyone else does naturally? will you ever find it easier? or are you just stuck here?

“what’s so hard?” they repeat, and this time, you look away, eyes stinging. you sit in silence until they shrug, exasperated, and walk away.
