Anxiety
A lot of people live with anxiety, myself included. Many others don’t understand what it’s like and make judgments that are truly hurtful. I encourage everyone to be cognizant of the fact you don’t know what it’s like to be someone else and remember that every person handles things differently. For me anxiety is something that creeps up on me at the most inopportune times and leaves me in a state of panic. It’s not something I can brush off or “get over,” it’s something that I live with constantly. Anxiety is worrying when someone says they need to talk. Whatever you do, for the love of God, do not tell me you need to talk to me and not tell me why. My mind will go on the hunt for every potential worst case scenario and magnify it 100x. I can’t stop it, either. It’s just what my mind goes through. Anxiety is talking on the phone socially. I used to LOVE talking on the phone, but then texting became a thing and phone conversations now riddle me with anxiety. I don’t know why this...
