Anxiety.... UGH!

Anxiety is the worst. It can creep up on you at the worst times and when it’s completely unexpected. Lately it has been getting me unexpectedly. Tonight all I was doing was making dinner and suddenly I was weak and shaky, my heart was pounding, I was short of breath, and I felt like I was going to faint. It got to the most unbearable point where I had to sit down. Once I was sitting I asked myself what was going on, I mean I felt like I was going to die! But then I quickly remembered the techniques I had learned from therapy... Take deep breaths, tell myself that nothing is wrong and I’m okay, and to try to refocus my mind completely. Well, for those of you that struggle with anxiety, you know how hard this can actually be, but for some reason tonight my brain and body paid attention and did what I needed it to do! Within 5 minutes my breathing and heart beat slowed, I was no longer weak and shaky and I could get up and finish my cooking. Amazing! 

I guess what I want to say is that I know it is a long hard struggle, it’s tough and can be extremely debilitating at times but it’s important to learn techniques to help conquer anxiety. Just remember to sit down in a calm and quiet area, tell yourself (either in your head or out loud but I find out loud to be more powerful) that you’re okay and that nothing is wrong and that you can fight it. Just remember to be patient with yourself and relax. It takes time for your mind and body to sync up. 

You can do it. You can overcome! :)

Your thinking, more than anything else, shapes the way you live. It’s really true that if you change your thinking, you can change your life.

1. When you cut yourself, clean and bandage it. 2. Do not start smoking cigarettes because the boy who broke your heart does. 3. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 4. Cutting calories doesn’t do anything but make you unhappy. 5. If the number on the scale rises, throw it out. 6. The first girl you ever “date” is going to call the police on you even though she lives three thousand miles away, because you’re going to tell her that you’re not in a good mental state shortly after you’ve “broken up”. 7. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 8. Break up with the boy who says, “You had a sexy phase!” when you tell him that you’ve dated a girl before. 9. Dating your friends is not always the best idea, but you can still be friends after you’ve broken up with her. 10. Your mother will try to become your best friend because you’re leaving for college soon. Let her. 11. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 12. Your closest friend will stop talking to you when you leave for college. 13. It’s okay to cry. 14. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 15. When you cut yourself again, clean and bandage it. Do not be ashamed. 16. Your anxiety is going to try and control your entire life. Tell it to shut the hell up, because you’re trying to live and that task is hard enough as it is. 17. The past has a funny way of coming back in the form of you developing a crush on another friend. 18. Try not to hate yourself for breaking up with your boyfriend. 19. If you’re still smoking, apologize silently to your mother. 20. When you want to kill yourself, don’t.
