Anxiety

Do you wake up every morning already dreading the day? Do you close your eyes hoping you can just sleep the days away? I do. It’s not because I’m depressed. It’s because I have anxiety. Anxiety is a constant battle. It’s always wanting to go out and do things with friends and then the time comes, and you don’t want to go out. It’s not being able to fall asleep for hours because you're laying there thinking about what’s to come. It’s the constant fear of what people think of you when you’re out. It’s going out first thing in the morning to the store, so you can avoid as many people as possible. Anxiety isn’t easy. Worrying all the time is never fun. You constantly feel like people are judging you even when they aren’t looking at you at all. I am a very quiet person and a huge introvert so going out and being in a large crowd isn’t easy either. If you have anxiety and have ever felt this way the please know you are not alone!
