Do affirmations work for anxiety and depression?
Affirmations can help you create a more positive mindset which in turn can help you learn to cope with anxiety and depression.
When used correctly, affirmations can help to retrain your brain to focus on positive thoughts and experiences. This can be a helpful tool in managing anxiety and depression because it allows you to focus on the good in your life instead of dwelling on the negative.
Positive affirmations are also a great way to boost your self-esteem and confidence. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, it is likely that your self-esteem has taken a hit. By using positive affirmations, you can begin to build yourself back up and start to believe in yourself again.
What are some examples of positive affirmations for anxiety and depression?
Some examples of positive affirmations that can help with anxiety and depression include:
-I am capable of handling anything that comes my way.
-I am strong and I can get through this.
-I am surrounded by people who love and support me.
-Every day, in every way, I am getting better.
-I am worthy of happiness and peace.
-I am brave and strong.
-I can do anything I put my mind to.
-Change is normal and I embrace it.
-I am not defined by anxiety and depression.
-I am in control of my life.
By repeating positive affirmations like these, you can start to believe in yourself again and begin to see the positive changes that you are making.
Writing down your affirmations can also be helpful. You can carry them with you and read them when you are feeling anxious or depressed.
There are also a wide variety of affirmation cards available that can provide you with positive statements to use on a daily basis. If you are looking for some additional support, consider investing in a set of affirmation cards.
Can affirmations get rid of anxiety?
No, positive affirmations will not get rid of anxiety or depression completely. However, according to an article written by Healthline, affirmations can help improve your mood, build self-esteem, increase motivation, help you solve problems, increase optimism and help you address negative thoughts.
Remember to be patient with yourself and give yourself time to adjust to using affirmations. It takes practice but the more you use them, the more effective they will become!
If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, I encourage you to give positive affirmations a try. Remember, it is important to be patient and consistent with your affirmations in order to see results. Give yourself time and be gentle with yourself- you deserve it!
Most importantly, seek professional help if you are struggling with anxiety or depression. If you are feeling like you are in a crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8225) to speak with a trained crisis counselor.

This is something that seems so simple on the surface, but I really struggled with reciting positive affirmations when I first tried it. Over time, it did get easier and I became more comfortable with it. Developing a positive mindset can be a powerful step toward improved mental health. I love your tip about writing the affirmations down! I keep some sticky notes with uplifting messages and quotes around my home office, and they’ve proven to be really beneficial for me. Thanks again for sharing!
