Be You!

When people think of anxiety they think that you can just grow out of it and that it can be sorted out. But it can't.

Anxiety is an actual mental illness, AND I know a lot of people don't like to call it that but it is true. You have to face up to that fact.

Not being able to enjoy life properly sucks.

Things that is impossible when you have anxiety::

1. Being scared to walk into a room full of people

2. Too scared to leave you room or house

3. Can't attend school/college

4. Can't go out with friends or family

5. Too worried to eat in public

6. Find it hard to make friends

7. Can't be in small places with a crowd

8. Crowds smother you

These are just some of the things that are hard to achieve when you have got anxiety.

These are the things that I find hard::

1. Not being able to make friends

2. Can't argue back

3. Can't start a conversation

4. Scared in front family and friends

I failed my GCSE English because I backed out on the speaking and listening topic, I couldn't deal with having to speak in front of 10 students, I couldn't deal with them looking at me, I couldn't deal with them talking about me or laughing at me...

My anxiety started way back when I was primary school, however it could've just been shyness but now its anxiety.

If I think back I now know that my bullied life has affected my life now, with anxiety.

A lot of people suffer with it but they try to hide it behind a smile, they don't want to seek attention by telling people, there too scared to do anything about it.

It more common in teenagers because people expect us to be someone we're not:

1. We have to look perfect all the time

2. We have to have a boyfriend

3. We have to have good grades

4. Have friends

5. Be someone who we're not

We don't have to be someone else, we have to be are selves, express yourself, learn new things about yourself. New talents, weird talents.

Being yourself can be hard but being someone else is even harder.

So I want YOU to go and write down every talent that your masked self can do and write down every talent that YOU, yourself can do.

Try them out.

Say hello to someone in the street, smile at them or help someone walk across the road, or with their shopping. Do something that you want to do, not what your mum or dad wants you to do. Not what your friends expect you to do. Be different, and it might help with your anxiety. You may feel at ease or calm.
