Though my anxiety and depression has had a way with my social life in the past, I feel that my daily affirmations are helping me to continue on my healing journey. Today’s daily affirmation is no different, and I know that it is an important step towards mental recovery. I do not wish to be controlled by mental illness, so, today, I will declare as often as needed: “my anxiety does not control me!” This deceleration is just the thing to remind myself that I can overcome by not surrendering control to mental illness. I hope that others can affirm this within themselves towards healing!
