One of the things I find very important in battling this is finding a center or something to hold on to. In my case it is my relationship with the Lord as I seek him daily As I look to get through my days as my GAD can get the better of me. Also,I find that it keeps me from going off the deep end and gives me a source of comfort even through troubled times. A relationship with God is very helpful when combating anxiety.
You say that you don’t believe in a deity there are other centres you make have. These may be a spouse, a friend, a child or even a pet. Sometimes it may be a matter of finding it through mindfulness and/or mediation. It may be a method over a thing that keeps you grounded.
At work I wear a small necklace with a cross and another with emblem of St.Christopher even though I am not catholic. These are worn as a remainder I am not alone but that have help from above. They kind of act as positive charms to help me get through the day.
While very important I also have a strong support network such as my lovely wife, my mom who I talk to on a regular basis, people at my church and even other blogs on anxiety are things I look to to help me in this journey. Having a strong support network is also a good center to have when you are struggling with anxiety and it’s cousin depression.
What I am saying is we need a centre to help us in this struggle and we don’t need to go at it alone. It is best that we don’t have go at this alone and getting help is much needed.
