The Day in the Life of a Girl with Anxiety

A Battle Everyday

The Day in the Life of a Girl with Anxiety

Dammit!

The stupid alarm is ringing. What time it is, 7 am?

Oh great, it is.

My head keeps telling me to stay in, my anxiety never sleeps. It's awake even in my dreams. Why can't it just go away? It can't, of course.

Time to get started with the day:

7am: Wake Up

8am: Breakfast

10am: Biology

12pm: Lunch

2pm: Psychology

Classes are pretty much simple: I keep to myself, don't speak until spoken to, and when it's over, I'm walking away. I never speak in my class. When I try to speak I get a familiar voice and the conversation goes as follows.

Me: *walks over to say hi to people*

Anxiety: You don't wanna do that.

Me: Yes I do, and you can't stop me.

Anxiety: I can, and you know how.

Me: Stop.

Anxiety: What if they don't answer back? What if they don't talk to you? What if they ignore you?

Me: Please...STOP!

Anxiety: What if they just look at you like you're nothing?

Me: *heavy breathing and hyperventilating* Stop...please

Anxiety: I'm right, and you know I'm right.

Me: okay...

I barely speak to people as it is. I have my friends, but the voice in my head will keep getting bigger and bigger, and there's nothing I can do, I have nothing and no one to turn to. When I want to go out the conversation will continue like:

Me: I'm going out tonight

Anxiety: No you're not

Me: Yes I am.

Anxiety makes me feel stuck like I can't do anything. I want to socialize and be happy, but my anxiety makes it harder and harder. Every. Single. Day. I get more and more deeper and under. Like I'm going under water and drowning. And I can't do nothing.

Someone please help me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
