What is anxiety? According to google, the definition of anxiety is intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired may occur.
Anxiety is something that I have experience for 2 years now. I choose to start my first blog post with the topic of anxiety. After all, that has been the reason why it has taken me so long to finally launch something I feel so confident and happy about.
My anxiety lately has been horrible. It is always there but some days, anxiety is all there is. I have been thinking about going to my doctor for a consultation but anxiety won’t allow me to do that. I feel ashamed.
Though on the outside people cannot tell that on the inside I am screaming. I don’t know if I know how to hide it well or if I am just so used to living with anxiety that it has now become a part of me. I want to get better, I do. I don’t know where to start.
What triggered my anxiety? well that’s a whole series of posts. I know exactly why anxiety started and why I still have it. But what I cannot seem to figure out is how to manage it, or how to have easier days. I worry about things that I cannot change, and things that have not happened yet. I get stuck in my head at times, and can’t seem to look beyond that.
Have you ever experience anxiety? What do/have you done to make it better?

Awww, I love this! You’re so transparent and congratulations on finally sharing your blog with the world!
I personally experience anxiety and it’s usually heightened when I drink too much caffeine (and not enough water) when I’m around A LOT of people and to me, a lot is anywhere from 6 or more. I also suffer through anxiety when it comes to school because I’m a perfectionist and want everything I submit to be my best work.
Ways I have personally overcome anxiety was using the word “balance” and pairing it with a Bible Verse, but you can also pair it with a quote. I use my word to remind myself that I can handle whatever it is that’s causing my anxiety. The gym has also helped a lot, even just a 20-minute run to loosen up! I hope these ideas get you started!
You’re stronger than anxiety!
Much love,

Wow, I hope that you will figure a way to deal with your anxiety. I briefly remembered having a panic attack a few years ago but it never came back. Thanks for sharing.
