Confessions Of A Person Dealing With Anxiety

m sitting at a computer at school writing to you about the confessions of a person dealing with anxiety faces. For one, I have anxiety... bad, so I have a little bit of insight about what we others dealing with anxiety feel like. This way make you laugh and you may find this relatable, so I hope you enjoy these little confessions.


1.WE THINK OTHERS ARE MAD AT US EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT

Yeah....talk about annoying! We tend to start an issue with someone that was never an issue in the first place! We go on and on about how we think you are angry with us and say that you are sorry a gazillion of times. The funny thing is, they were not mad in the begining, but now they are more annoyed with you than before.


2. WE HATE IT WHEN WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT WE ARE THINKING

Everyday, something always gets in the way of us thinking about what we should normally be thinking about. Unfortunately, there is NEVER a day where our mind and our thoughts are circling around, around, and around. It seems like we never seem to catch a break.


3. WE GET STRESSED OUT EASILY

LOL, I am already into my third day of school and I am already stressed about trying to juggle school work and a job. Heck, I am even stressed out about what I am going to eat for dinner. We stress over what seems like the stupidest thing to some people, but for us, it's life or death.

4. WE TEND TO ISLOATE OURSELVES

Yes this is extremely true; we do not want to burden others with our problems so we are likely to turn away from people. We know it is not okay to just lay around doing nothing, but sometimes we feel that is best so we do not bother our friends and family with our anxiety.

5. WE DO LIKE TO HAVE FUN

A lot of people assume we do not like to have fun because we tend to isolate ourselves from the outside world. In reality, we love having fun because it gets our minds off of our worries for a little while. Please do not hestiate to hang out with someone who sufferes from anxiety. They might need you now more than ever.


6. SHAKING OUR LEGS DOES HELP

I do not know about you, but I shake my leg constantly (sometimes without even knowing). I notice I shake my leg more when I am under some sort of stress (which happens to be all the time) For whatever reason, IT HELPS. SO people that deal with anxiety....keep shaking your leg!


7. WE STRESS EAT

I know some people do not eat at all when they are dealing with anxiety and sometimes I don't, but I tend to over eat when I am going through my anxiety. First it starts with fruit, then cake, then ice cream, then a donut, and you know how the rest of it goes.


8. WE ARE LOVERS, NOT FIGHTERS

When we love something, we love it hard. We are very passionate about what and who we love. We care so much to the point where it can come acorss as over caring. We over care, because we get stressed out, because we do not want anything bad happening. We are passionate about every one in our lives and we try to hold on for as long as we can.


9. THE WERIDEST THINGS CALMS US DOWN

I know fidget spinners are the "new craze" to help cope with anxiety, but other people like different ways of trying to remain calm. Whenever I am feeling an anxiety attack, I have to walk away and pace back and forth until I feel like myself again.


10. WE ARE HUMAN

We are human, humans that need a little extra love and a little extra reassuarance that we are okay. Havin anxiety is completely normal so please remember that. You are perfect exaclty the way you are.

GOOD LUCK!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
