Just thought id post a wee message of encouragement for those fellow sufferers out there. There may be times where you feel as if there is no point in continuing your struggle against an invisible persecutor like anxiety, panic attacks or depression. However the facts are that you have a hidden strength within that somehow manages to get you through each day. From personal experience, I have often compared myself to other people of the same age. I see that they are doing this and doing that, earning loads of money and being able to afford things while I am making the most of what I can do. This seems to be a common feeling we all have and it does us no favours, so I no longer look at what other people are doing and focus on what I can do. We are all individual and we shouldnt feel the need to conform to what 'society' expects of us.
It is incredible the physical and psychological tricks that anxiety plays on us. The are so many symptoms, it is impossible to list them all. I have often convinced myself of many things being wrong, but it is so hard to understand that it is the whole concept of what anxiety can do which brings these feelins about. When we go through the feelings we have, it can be very difficult to accept that all we are experiencing is anxiety! Doctors just dont have time to explain everything it can and does do...No wonder people worship 'Darth Google' when they feel that they are not getting any answers for why they feel so dreadful. Medication too,although a great help to many can and does cause problems. It is far from a cure for something that will not just fade overnight. To people who can muster up the energy and concentration to read this, all I will say is this. Never ever give in to anxiety and find out as much as you can in your quest to defeat something that can be so misunderstood and frightening. If you believe you will one day have in under control or overcome it completely, then the chances are that you definitely will . No matter how long it takes, never feel you have to justify yourself to anyone. Do what you want when you want
