ME, MYSELF, and anxIety
Pounding heart, foggy mind, heavy breathing, restless feet.
SYMPTOMS.
A small list of MY symptoms.
Symptoms that have taken me to HELL and back again.
I have been on a JOURNEY, and that journey will never end. I have anxiety. It is a part of me. I have learned to embrace it, but I have a long way yet to go. I hope that in sharing my mental health experience, I will be able to help others discover their true potential and embrace their mental identity.
No one should have to HIDE the qualities that define them.
A couple of weeks ago in my church's Young Women youth group, we were learning about unifying with each other. The teacher asked each of us to write a list of qualities that define us. I wrote down many things, but what I failed to include was my ANXIETY. It is a part of me. An extremely large part of who I am. I never want to leave that defining quality out again.
On this blog I would like to share how it all began, when I first recognized my anxiety, how I have learned to cope, and how my anxiety has become a great quality in my life. Please feel free to speak openly in the comments about your experiences, but please be mindful of other people, and always be kind.
