Yes. This. I used to have social anxiety for seemingly no reason - my mind would just constantly repeat negative emotions/events that happened in the day, or the week before or the month before or the year before, constantly. It was pretty crushing and I thought that 'well this my life now forever' and it was extremely bleak and depressing. I tried meditation as an experiment after reading about how it helped people - and from day one I was hooked. As soon as I realized it was possible to 'slow' the mind and take control of your thoughts it was like an epiphany. Realising that all this stuff that was making me anxious was just made up stuff in my head, and meditation gave me the power to observe these thoughts as if they were not a part of me, has completely changed my life. It's quite amazing to be in a situation where people are looking at you (social groups, doing presentations etc) and have zero anxiety - instead you're just one with your mind and feel so relaxed and natural about the whole thing. I recommend it to anyone has suffered anxiety and can't find a way out. |
