I don't know how to explain or define anxiety in a proper medical term. But I know how it would feel and how it can bother one's mind. At times, I get anxiety attacks. Sometimes it will last for few hours and sometimes for days. I would feel worthless, cry a lot, stay in bed and starve. That tiny monster will whisper saying 'You are useless', 'You won't achieve anything', and 'No one likes you'. I do struggle to breathe, and can't stop crying. It is torturous. I won't feel like talking to anyone, or don't feel like going out. However, earlier this year, after suffering with anxiety attack for two days, I decided to get up and face it. So, I got ready, went to a coffee shop, and started writing down my fears and the possible ways to overcome it. Trust me, it helped. Also, I opened up to a good friend, and he suggested few things that helped me a lot. Whenever you feel like having an anxiety attack, try your best to fight it by doing the things you like. Try not to stay alone like what I did. I ended up hurting myself more. Chat or talk to someone you are close to. It will definitely help. By locking yourself in a room and crying would only hurt you more. And never do that to yourself. I also started reading more books, and that helped me to reduce anxiety. Instead of staying in my room, I spent more time at uni, and gym. Being alone is good once in awhile, but it is not advisable to be alone when you feel down. Do not be ashamed of opening up to a reliable person. You are helping yourself by opening up. Do not be afraid of what they will say or think. Someone who really loves you, will definitely be a good listener :) So, get up, fight and chase that tiny monster away! Till now, I do get anxiety attacks, but I always remind myself to fight it. It is okay to cry and let it out. But do fight it back. Everyone is worth-it and they are special to someone.
Enjoy the weekend my dear readers :) And have a beautiful night!
