Anxiety is not a sign of mental weakness🐕

Hello, this is Chibiayu.🐕

Have you ever felt anxious for no reason?💭

I used to feel that way a lot in the past.
Especially when the function of my autonomic nervous system had dropped significantly.⚡️👴

I used to wonder why my mind would become so unsettled.
(Since my body was struggling to begin with, there were days when I couldn't even manage my daily life...🤦👴)

And then, when my body started to recover,
I suddenly felt like I had regained my usual sense of self.
(Well, I still get anxious, but I feel like I can tame it, and I can take it lightly, thinking it'll be fine somehow👴)

So, if you are currently losing your confidence,
I would like you to pause for a moment and check if your physical condition (especially your autonomic nervous system) is not doing well.
(I think there are other factors besides the autonomic nervous system, such as a decline in thyroid function🤏)

Everything is fine in your health checkup...
But, for example, do you have any of these symptoms?💭

・Feeling anxious for no reason
・Heavy head
・Cold hands and feet
・Dizziness or lightheadedness
・Stomach discomfort
・Body feels heavy, persistent fatigue
・Difficulty falling asleep, unable to wake up in the morning

These might be "signals from your body."

Based on my own experience,
I believe that it is not that your mind is weak,
but that the body always comes first.💭


I also heard from a chiropractor I trust for autonomic nervous system treatment that the mind cannot overcome the body.
(It means that no matter how positive a person is, if their body weakens, their mind will also weaken🐕. Conversely, if you make your body feel comfortable, your mind will naturally recover as well)

In my experience,
when the function of the autonomic nervous system is low, I always had a feeling of a heavy head. Since the blood flow to the head itself decreases, oxygen and nutrients are not carried to the brain, and it feels like my spirit and feelings are not stable.
(Dizziness and lightheadedness also happen often👴)

At the same time as the head, the extremities get cold, so my hands and feet are also cold⚡️

When some part of your body is working too hard,
it feels like you are sending a signal to yourself to notice both your mind and body so that you can let them rest.

So, before you get depressed about your personality, wondering why you are like this...
I hope you can take a moment to think about whether your physical condition is poor and if you can take care of your body. (First of all, I want you to prioritize your own body above all else)

As for me, as a result of trying various treatments,
(I was unwell for many years and wandered around looking for treatment...🤦)
a treatment that uses microcurrents on the body to regulate the autonomic nervous system suited me best.
(For example, there is Chikushi Chiropractic Clinic in Kanagawa Prefecture. For your reference🐕.

Besides that, I have also heard that people's physical and mental conditions improved with a treatment called Craniosacral Therapy, which involves gently touching the whole body to bring it into balance.
(It is a treatment that can be received safely and securely by everyone from children to the elderly. For your reference🐕)

I would be happy if you could believe that once you regain your physical health, your heart will surely recover as well.
(You are never weak, woof🐕!)

When you find yourself blaming yourself, it is always because you are trying too hard.
And I would be grateful if you could remember that you are truly admirable for doing so much, and that there is someone here who respects you.🤝
(I am on your side, woof🐕)

Making a habit of care such as placing your hands on your head for a few minutes
(a care that also reduces anxiety by increasing blood flow to the head) is something I personally felt was effective, so please feel free to try it.🐕

Lastly...
If you are blaming yourself right now,
it might not be because you are "weak," but rather a "sign that you are trying too hard."


First, please let your body rest before your heart.🐕

If your body gradually gets back in balance,
your heart will surely follow.



You are never weak, woof🐕
I am here, on your side🤝

Thank you for reading today as well🤝
I am grateful for you every day.
