Growing up with anxiety and depression is never easy. We get upset and freak out over the smallest things. My depression has gotten a lot better the past few years but my anxiety gets worse everyday. I found ways to cope and change around my depression. I will have tiny moments of depression when someone gets upset with me but usually I don't get too depressed. My anxiety on the other hand, yikes! I have yet to find better ways for my anxiety. Nothing has changed it for the better yet. I have a heart condition called tachycardia, I am not allowed to have any kind of caffeine. My anxiety makes my chest hurt and my heart flutter (sometimes). My chest muscles are the main things that hurt during my anxiety attacks. My left shoulder always hurts during workouts and my anxiety attacks.

Working out has made my anxiety better but just for the moment I am working out. The next day, my anxiety will be back up. People usually say to just get over certain situations but it's not that easy. It's not that I care too much, it's that I seriously cannot help it. Sometimes it gets embarrassing because it acts up during the most simple situations but I cannot help it, at all. I have medication for my anxiety but I will only take it when my heart and chest muscles start to react. I don't take it every time I have an anxity attack, just when my heart and chest muscles react. Some people understand but most don't. It's 50/50 with my anxiety it is either over a good situation or a bad situation, you never know. One day it will get better and I will find better ways to help rid of it. Just know you are never alone when it comes to anxiety and depression.
