Your thoughts determine the way in which you perceive yourself and the world around you. As a person with high anxiety, you may be inclined to have fearful and negative thoughts. For example, worries may hold you back from achieving your goals. Perhaps you have a poor self-image that prevents you from trusting your innate talents and abilities.

Many people with panic disorder struggle with negative thoughts and self-defeating beliefs. Despite this common issue, there are ways to overcome negative thoughts and reduce your sense of stress, anxiety, and fear. The following articles offer more information on how faulty thinking contributes to anxiety and ways to get past your negative thinking patterns.
