Labels are for jars, not people.
You are more than your diagnosis and in order to function in spite of a diagnosis, you need to remember that.
Conditions like anxiety disorders can be overcome. When you allow yourself to be labeled with your diagnosis, you can almost fall victim to it. Anxiety disorders can paralyze you and keep you from living the life that you deserve to live.
Fear should not be a part of life. Not the kind of fear that comes with anxiety disorders.
Treatment can help a person with any kind of anxiety disorder learn how to cope and eventually even overcome the fear that rules their lives. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a method that is widely used and proven effective.
With cognitive behavioral therapy, a person is forced to face the source of their fear and confront it. This is done with a professional who acts as someone who will "hold your hand" and encourage and teach you how to find the courage to face what keeps your anxiety alive.
Yes, it takes courage to face your fears and destroy these demons that cause anxiety to dictate your life. Anyone who suffers from an anxiety disorder does get to a place in their lives where they say "enough".
It is almost like someone who is addicted to a substance. Until the substance abuser recognizes their addiction and decides to do something about it, the substance has the power over them. Once the substance abuser decides to face their addiction, they can overcome it. It isn't always easy but it is possible.
The anxiety sufferer may know that their anxiety controls them. They may feel powerless to it but eventually, they will feel desperate for help. Facing it is scary. Changing it can take time but you can learn how to free yourself from anxiety.
Labels are for jars- not for people. Once you refuse to be defined by a diagnosis and decide to rise above it the strength will appear that you can use to fight back.
