Anxiety isn't something to mess with, it's a real feeling, a real emotion and something that be really hard to describe. I have a bit of social anxiety and trying to explain that to people is hard, especially if they don't understand exactly what I go through on a day-to-day basis. If you have anxiety, it's okay! Below, are some of the best ways to describe what you go through.

When it comes to anxiety, it is natural to make mistakes. It is important to remember that these mistakes are not permanent and can be corrected. Anxiety can cause people to feel overwhelmed, and this can lead to making mistakes. It is important to take a step back and practice self-care in order to reduce stress and anxiety levels. Taking a break, getting enough rest, and engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation can help to reduce the likelihood of making mistakes. Additionally, it is important to remember that mistakes are a part of life and that it is okay to make them. Learning from mistakes and forgiving oneself are important steps in the process of self-growth.

Missy: I've been depressed & had serious anxiety going on 2 years now. Just a week ago - my boss actually threatened my job and made up that I fell asleep at my desk (she hates me and I have no idea why!!) so I'm going to be suspended!! She also shyly stated
Jeanette: Having anxiety myself I feel the only way to actually getting through anxiety is by seeking help with a therapist. It does help you a lot and sometimes it's all you need other times you made need medication but in the end or a combination of both. I know medication is not always the answer but it doesn't hurt to give it a try. It sucks to live with anxiety but whatever you have to do to help yourself please do it.
Missy: ...that if I mess up again- something terrible will happen. I am sober for 9 years, but I've gone out with friends 1 time in 3 years. All of this was after my boyfriends suicide. People don't get it. They say get over it - move on. But i have many....
Beatrix: I've learnt from experience a little trick that can instantly reduce it. Inhale for, let's say, 8 seconds; hold for 4 and then exhale for 8 seconds. Then inhale again but for 6 secs, hold for 3 and exhale for 6. And you can do the same for 4 (hold for 2).
Jennapher: I def give Heather a pass on the grammar...do schools even use Strunk and White, or the MLA Style Book...the post is about how anxiety feels! So I agree, the words are secondary to the emotions...you feel as if you can't breathe, all the time...your heart races, your unmade bed with the month old sheets is you absolute favorite place, you don't want to go anywhere, see anyone or talk to anyone. Every single action you take feels like a monumental effort, you realize as you wake up every day that you have NOTHING to which to look forward...and the happy pills the doc gives really don't make the feelings go away, they just make them more tolerable. And you carry your clonazapam with you everywhere...it's like an AMEX card, you DO NOT leave home with out it...do any of these sound familiar?
Donnasherba: What a great message thanks for helping
Ida1: Yeah , I want to remember what it's like to wake up and don't feel sad :(
erica1985: I really enjoyed this post. I agree with diamond, 100%. Your accuracy of struggles with anxiety are so dead on; it completely overshadowed any errors. Only people who truly struggle with anxiety can appreciate this...
Alyx: @mireya it's different physically for everyone. My anxiety attacks are not very physical, I just get shaky and lightheaded, but everyone experiences it physically differently. And @kris, the fact that you think it needs more words shows you don't get it, regardless of how the grammar is.
Heather: Thank you!! 😄 Errors are fixed too!
