quote for a tattoo to symbol overcoming anxiety
« on: February 28, 2013, 07:07:46 AM »
I want to get a simple tattoo to represent over coming bad anxiety..Also in the future if my anxiety ever gets very bad again(WHICH IM SURE IT WILL ) i can look at my tatoo & remind myself that i got over it before & i can do it again.

i tought of a one word chinese symbol maybe like,
peace,strenght,freedom etc

or something a little more like

"what doesnt kill me makes me stronger" i think this is perfect to health anxiety sufferers as i have feared death soo many times, & im still alive, & im stronger for that.

anybody got any ideas please??

I always like the word "breathe"
It reminds me of what I need to do when I'm anxious and it's the thing that always helps :)

getting a tattoo is an amazing idea, I have one myself that says "watch me rise" with a swan ascending into clouds

tattoos definitely help as it reminds you every day how strong you are!

I love tattoos! I have only one, and do not intend to get more, but I adore it  :happy0151: So it's a cool idea to get one!
Couple of years ago, when I was absolutely anxiety-free, I made a tattoo of a compass. In the past compass tattoo was very popular among sailors, it was meant to bring them home safely. Nowadays it' s most obvious meaning is a symbol of a traveller, of an adventurer. That 's what I wanted 2 years ago, because I was a traveller/adventurer, ready for any adventure.
But I found out recently that compass has a deeper meaning too. It is also a guidance for those who are lost in their troubles, and can't find a way out. So now I look at my tattoo as a guidance to bring me back to peace of mind, show the way out of my anxiety. For me - it is perfect anxiety-fighting symbol.

I think you can choose any words you like. The most important is the meaning which you yourself will put into it.   
But you should really think it over, and go to a really good tatoo-parlour to get a nice result  :winking0008:

I have tattoos to symbolize anxiety ! I have black birds coming up my back and on my shoulder is a white bird - to signify coming out of the darkness I am in the works of getting a fox as the trickster of my anxiety looking up at the birds.. I really love them !

I just recently got myself a tattoo that says "Give Me Strength" in fancy lettering on my back shoulder blade area. I got it because I feel as if some days I do have the weight of the world on my shoulders, but I know I will make it through it. I am so glad I got it, every time I see it in the mirror, I know I will overcome this.
