Anxiety Sucks

Anxiety Takes Over Lives Everyday

Many people who deal with anxiety deal with it in different ways. I know for me I deal with it differently then the next person. Sometimes I drive home and start shaking from head to toe, to the point where I have to remind myself what goes on in life doesn't really matter as long as I'm happy everything will be ok. I had anxiety here and there but it would only happen once in a while, but now all of the sudden its been happening a lot because I overthink way, way too much all I want is to stop overthinking to make myself feel better.

The other day I had a really bad anxiety episode, I was driving home from school and I started shaking from head to toe. My hands and feet were shaking really bad to the point where it felt like I was going to get into a car accident or have a heart attack. i should have pulled over but every red light I hit I tried calming myself down but it was not working of course. I remember getting home and I sat at my kitchen table just taking deep breathes because all I needed to do was calm down, it slowly got better as time went by. The thing that sucks about anxiety is sometimes when you have an episode sometimes nothing triggers it, sometimes it just happens.The other day I went to school did not give a care in the world, but it all changed when I got in the car to drive home.

This is why anxiety sucks, it happens out of the best of us, and sometimes we just have to live with it no matter how bad it is.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
