Q: How Do You Cope?

For me it is the hope that some day I will wake up and this will all be in my past, that I will be able to lead a normal life and that I will be able to experience everything life has to offer. I feel that every day I get out of bed and put one foot in front of the other, is another day that I am closer to being anxiety free.
I would love to hear from other people about what gives them the strength to cope.
Keep smiling

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Unfortunately rayjay I have found that since suffering from anxiety I have struggled with my faith... I used to have a strong sense of faith but now I seem to have, not lost it exactly, but lost the sense of comfort I once got from it, it's hard to describe....
Anyway, thanks again everyone for your positivity

Faith really gets tested when you have anxiety and panic. What saved my life was getting involved in cbt and learning the exercises like the tea form that taught me skills to cope with and eliminate my stress. The two books we used in my group are really good and I would recommend them both highly: been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz for anxiety and depression and mastery of your anxiety and panic-third edition by michelle craske and david barlow for panic disorder. Cbt teaches you exercises on how to counter distorted thoughts and once you get good at using the tools you start to feel better and better
