The anxiety cycle begins with a situation or trigger that induces anxious feelings — this could be anything from a social event to a specific thought or sensation.

In response, the person experiences an urge to avoid the situation, either mentally (e.g., distraction) or physically (e.g., leaving or not engaging).

Avoidance brings short-term relief, reinforcing the belief that the situation is dangerous or unmanageable.

However, over time, this pattern causes anxiety to grow stronger, as the brain never learns that the feared situation can be tolerated or safely navigated. This creates a reinforcing loop that maintains and amplifies anxiety in the long run.

Perfectionism is much more about setting high standards. It is often developed very early on in childhood through our experiences, influences, and personal achievements. Importantly, the messages we receive about these things tend to set a standard for us and can hugely impact how we feel, what we do, and how we think about ourselves and others.

CBT breaks this problem down into these areas to examine what the impact is and how we can go about making changes. It can be helpful to consider the larger areas of impact for you personally to decide where might be best to start.

Some days can be tough for people dealing with mental health issues. While everyone else seems to be out having fun, relaxing, or spending time with friends and family, those of us struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges can feel isolated and overwhelmed. The lack of structure and routine that comes with the weekend can make it even harder to manage our feelings and stay grounded.

It’s important to remember that we matter, even on the days when it feels like the whole world is moving on without us. Self-care isn’t just a buzzword—it’s essential. Whether it’s taking a few extra minutes to enjoy your morning coffee, going for a walk, or simply allowing yourself to rest without guilt, these small acts can make a big difference.

Don’t forget, it’s perfectly okay to spend your weekend in whatever way feels right for you. If that means staying in bed and watching your favorite shows, go for it! If it means getting out and exploring nature, do it!

We’re all on our own journeys, and it’s important to be kind to ourselves along the way.

You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough.

Stay Strong ♥️
