If you have anxiety, you may have lived through some version of the quiet cycle in this carousel. Each person’s cycle can be different, and it can be longer or shorter.

People with anxiety go through this cycle, and it can be a very brutal process at times that takes a lot out of you. But as you can see, there is a point when you break out of it, in what I call leveling yourself. This is the stage or moment when you can refocus and get back into the game. This is also the best time to start building your strategy and preparing for any future episodes of anxiety.

I want you to hear this. You are not alone in it, and nothing about this cycle means you are weak. Even I have days when I struggle with anxious thoughts. It’s part of the human experience, and it does not take anything away from what you are capable of.

If you recognize yourself in any of these stages, keep your head up and know that it’s just a cycle, and it WILL pass. You are welcome to reach out to me by message with a question, or just to talk about what your anxiety has been like lately. You do not have to have it figured out first, and you do not have to face it alone.

Which stage are you in today? Tell me the number in the comments, and if this feels familiar, leave a heart and share it with someone who needs to know they are not alone.
