Your feelings are valid, even if…

Your feelings are valid. Period.

You don’t need to justify them. You don’t need to explain them away. You don’t need permission to feel what you feel.

Emotions aren’t always logical, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t real. The sooner you allow yourself to feel without judgment, the sooner you can understand and process what’s really going on.

Trust yourself. Your feelings matter.

Anxiety: Your Feelings Are Valid
Anxiety is those feelings that you have when everything is okay but doesn’t *seem* quite okay. For me, when I feel anxious, my palms get very sweaty, blood rushes to my ears, and I’m extremely jittery. Despite this, I’m able to get along with my day just fine and no one can tell that I’m on the
