Anxiety

It can be difficult with anxiety sometimes. I've had it since I was 14 and it has to be the worse thing ever. I developed anxiety when I had a problem with a guy that made it all start. Now I have to avoid a lot of stuff like horrors, going to new places, or even meeting up with new friends, or even old friends on a one to one basis. This can be difficult sometimes, but I'm on tablets every day that don't always work depending on the situation. I know if I have an anxiety attack. I've learned the best way is to get angry over something; just try and get adrenaline going, and it really does help—or cuddle someone you love and breathe. Depending on the situation, I have had times where I can't touch anyone or hug anyone, I have to just lie down and focus on breathing. It can be a struggle getting up, eating, taking my tablets, then kicking in an hour later after I'm already on the bus and on the way to work. It's life, I guess.
