Ruminating on negative thoughts is one of the most stubborn anxiety symptoms. One thought leads to another, and it’s easy to spiral down a rabbit hole of “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios.

You keep worrying, and your thoughts feel painfully real. It's because anxiety pulls from past experiences and links old fears with current worries. Actually, this way, your anxiety is tricking your brain into staying on high alert. 

And that isn’t something you should blame yourself for or think there’s something wrong with you. It’s simply your brain’s way of trying to protect you.

The most important thing to remember about intrusive thoughts is that the more you react to them, the more power they hold. So, the key to stopping this cycle isn’t fighting the thoughts but learning to step back and let them pass on their own.
