Anxiety

Sometimes I come across an article that so eloquently describes feelings that I've just got to share them.  Because,  we can't always find those words that can explain how we are feeling. So if you can relate to any of the following, or what is in the article. You are not alone. Anxiety is treatable. You don't have to feel like this for ever. 

• Anxiety is learning how to function with sleep deprivation because it took you until 2 am to shut your eyes...
• Anxiety is the time you spend waiting for an answer as a scenario plays out in your mind of what could, or could not happen..
• Anxiety is self-doubt and a lack of confidence both in you, yourself and those around you...
• Anxiety is being hyper aware of everyone and everything. So much so, you can tell if there’s a shift in someone merely by their tone or word choice...
• Anxiety is the fear of failure and striving for perfection. Then beating yourself up when you fall short...
• Anxiety is the art of deception for people who don’t know you. And for the people who do, it’s a constant stream of phrases like, ‘don’t worry’ or ‘you’re overthinking this’ or ‘relax.’

Anxiety can take a number of forms, here are just  a few: PTSD, Social Phobia, Panic Attacks, OCD, Fear, Over Thinking 
If you want to talk over anything you have read here or feel you might have, don't hesitate to contact someone. Help is only a phone call or message away.
