Anxiety is a mental health illness, an illness which can't be seen but also cant be heard, its an illness which no one ever talks about. I have struggled with Anxiety since I was about 12, it was never something that i knew what was going on... however once i started growing older, i started becoming more difficult and it just became worse and worse... Its never been something i have ever raised with the doctor or anything, but until i realised that it was effecting who I am what I do with my future and who i become in the future.
My anxiety really hit home when I started year 11, it was one of the hardest things i have ever had to do, year 11 overall was a stressful time, my anxiety was always up and down and it never seemed to be settled, i have never struggled with the amount of anxiety that I have ever faced.
I then decided that it was time to try and sort it out, I have ups and downs... there just days i have more where they came from. Anxiety is like catching up with the stopwatch even if its stopped, its like your trying to catch up with your own two feet when in fact your already there.
Over the past couple of months I have stated to say yes more, stated trying new things but most of all I started counselling which has helped me talk through everything discuss my feelings and just to know that I'm not on my own. I was recommended by my counsellor to use an app called "Headspace" this app is designed to allow you to just take 10 minutes from your day to focus on you and your breathing and just talk through breathing and relaxing with you. This has really helped.
I have so much love for you all
