A Look into the Life of Someone with Anxiety
I was nineteen going on twenty when I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Deep down, my whole life, I had a feeling I had anxiety but no one likes a self diagnoser. I finally took a step out of my comfort zone and asked my mother if she truly trusted her doctor. I asked her if he was good. I told her how I really felt around people, I knew or didn't know, places that were new to me, doing things on my own without someone else's assistance. I despised talking on the phone with anyone, even now. I would get nervous and mess up my words when I spoke. Leaving voicemails was a struggle because my mind would go blank and I wouldn't be able to remember what I was supposed to say. I get nervous when being questions at the doctor because I can never remember my family's medical history. I get anxiety when I get voicemails from people or when I get mail. I fear that it would be something bad.
