People think I am an attention seeker, but I am scared of the unknown.
I am mostly scared of all the bad things.
I am aware that people have stressful jobs and big responsibilities to take care ofI dont have that.

I believed good grades in school would promise me a successful life.
And let me tell you, it is not true.
It took me a long time to learn that my self-worth did not come from professional success.
Something small would trigger me and I would suddenly feel like I was burning up from the inside.
This is my life with anxiety.
This is my everyday story.
This is how it feels to live with anxiety.
People close to me are always telling me how to be less anxious.
It is not the end of the world.
It follows you everywhere.
I was not born anxious; anxiety is something that happened to me over the years.
It is a combination of incidents and events that made me who I am.
It is probably what I trained my mind to do to protect me.
I remember the time when I was a hopeful optimist full of dreams, but life happened.
Anxiety used to be just a word, but now it is a part of my existence.
I struggle with anxiety every day.
People think I am an attention seeker, but I am scared of the unknown.
I am mostly scared of all the bad things.
Life with anxiety makes you restless, unable to relax, and leaves you mostly on edge.
Little things get to you because you are already responsible for way too much happening in your head.
You dont understand how people can just turn the switch off and enjoy being in the moment.
And you hate that you cannot be like those people who can just watch TV and sleep.
There are many ways to deal with anxietydifferent methods work for different people.
Just remember that you are not alone in this.
you oughta constantly show up for yourself, even if no one else does.
You did not get anxiety overnight, so it will be a gradual process of letting go.
You have to test out different methods, and it sucks to try and fail.
I need to let go.
I just started yoga and acupuncture.
I will try anything.
I should have addressed my anxiety sooner.
I shouldnt have let it get to this point.
I thought it was fine to be so anxious because there are so many people out there like me.
I have to move past making excuses.
It is extremely overwhelming to the outsider.
