In the moments when my anxiety has been heaviest, I have discovered that laughter helps me heal. Whether a students makes silly jokes, my husband tries to lighten my burdens, or my dogs are just weird; laughing makes it all seem less painful.
I have learned that laughing about my struggle with anxiety has truly made the disorder less powerful. Before, I use to keep it hidden in the darkness, but now I can bring it to light and view it with humor.
Remember to find moments to laugh! You won’t regret it!

“Seeing the funny side” is a strategy I learned very young. Laughing “with” helps a lot (laughing “at”, not so much).

My anxiety is all about me trying to control what I have no hope of controlling. If I think about it, that is pretty ridiculous…and funny.:0)I know it is a healthier choice to laugh at myself, than it is to take myself seriously, as I try to carry the weight of the world on my back. However, when I’m in the throes of anxiety, I can’t always make that choice. During those times, I have to reach much deeper, hang on, and soothe myself when it is over. I have struggled so hard to ‘control’ my anxiety and that’s pretty funny too…what I need to do is focus on letting go! So…today, I’m letting go and laughing at myself with you!

Yeah laughing when I am right in the battle is really difficult. I normally end up laughing a little later
