When You Think You've Had Enough

Anxiety always comes around when you least expect it

Have you ever felt a lump in your throat when you are about to cry?

Felt like your heart is pounding before you get up in front of your class to present a paper?

Wanted to scream on the top of your lungs because you feel like no one could possibly understand the demons you hold inside of you?

Anxiety in any form or fashion is very crippling. Basically making everyday tasks seem pretty much impossible to get through, feelings of constant worry and fear can make you feel like the world is crashing down around you and there is no possible way to get yourself to the other side.

For those of you that continue to battle with constant and chronic anxiety I applaud you, if you haven't heard it today you are a strong person who can take charge of your life and make the best out of any situation. The mind plays tricks on us making it seem like we are the problem or people don't want to be your friend because of a specific reason that is actually just a product of our imagination.

As someone who feels like they are never good enough or never going to amount to anything you should never feel alone, someone is always going to be by your side whether it be your parents, your best friend or your significant other let them know what you are feeling. Let them know whats going on inside your head, being silent and suffering with your own thoughts does not make you feel any better about yourself.

Me: Anxiety,WHATS THE DEAL???

Anxiety: You have a term paper do tomorrow, I mean I know you already finished it but do you really think you are going to get a good grade on it? I mean you did only finish it in one day.

Me: It took me 9 hours to write this paper, I thought it was really good but what if I made a mistake and I don't get a good grade and I fail the class?? WHAT WOULD I DO....

Anxiety: You need to go fix it NOW, or else you can kiss an A in that class good bye

Me: I am really feeling crappy right now and I just want to go to bed but I guess I will stay up all night fixing my paper that is due at 8 AM

This is what its like to deal with anxiety, its a constant battle of should I or shouldn't I and you never really are happy about your decision because it is so impulsive.

My word of advice: Don't let temporary fears or emotional situations stop you from being the best version of yourself you can be!

You are worth so much more then you think.

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.
