I thought I'd put this little video together for you guys in order to describe what it's like to have anxiety and then how I fully overcame it through creating and using the anxious energy for something good. I think it's so so important for others to understand that anxiety is not something we can control, but getting help for it, is. I realized through the help of a lot of therapy and some medication that in order to cope and live I needed to move my anxiety through different things and cope with it--not against it. I had to stop fighting it and start to work with it in order to sustain myself, and eventually my happiness and freedom.
