Anxiety

Right, let's just get this thing straight, Anxiety just occurs gradually and i hate i mean HATE when people say they have anxiety and they don't and another thing that really annoys me, is the way they brag about it. Yes, I admit I've got anxiety but I don't tell the whole world. I have just told my close friends because they could see in me that i wasn't okay, and my parents, that's all! But you see people on social media writing Facebook and twitter posts saying i  have anxiety its really had bur blur blur an probably half of then don't. Anxiety's a horrible thing so i don't get why people brag about it because really? There are better things to brag about!

I realised i had anxiety at the start of this year/late last year and it was HORRIBLE! I remember my first panic attack, I was in science doing one of these petty exams and i literally broke out into a panic attack. I stress over petty things, what happens if we get to Spain and there's no air conditioning (yes, yes i did stress about that, that's one of the pathetic things I stressed about). one of the things i stressed about which apparently a lot of people thing when they have anxiety is this," are people going to like me if ive got anxiety" if anything your friends and family will always be there to help you with your anxiety, mine were, and they still are.

Another thing to do is tell a teacher or family member that your feeling really stressed, i told my form teacher and she took me to this teacher in school who helps people out in school with similar kinds of situations, Bev. Bev is the best, whenever you need a chat she is always there to help me through any kind of situation, and i really thank Bev for that. Also my mum and dad have been my rock through it, my mum has anxiety so she knows what im going through and my dad, he's always there to help me if im strssing out to much, they are the best.

so please don't keep it to yourself, tell a family member, member of staff or a friend. They will always help you.
