We need to talk about anxiety.

Wait a long time for Friday, keep an eye on the cell phone to see if that person responds soon, count the minutes for the expedient to find your friends ... none of this is to be anxious as some people may think - and they think so. Anxiety is not cool, anxiety is not a reason for pride.

Anxiety hurts the mind and hurts the body, you lose control over your worries, about your feelings ... anxiety makes you get ready 24 hours a day for when something bad happens because somehow, you're sure something bad will happen . Anxiety is chest tight, knot in the throat, desire to vomit, it is pain in the body. Anxiety dry your mouth, shake your hand and ants the foot. Anxiety makes you feel that you can cry at any moment. With anxiety, you think that nothing you do is good enough.

 

   Anxiety makes you cancel plans on time with people you've wanted so much to see, but sometimes you just need to be alone. Anxiety makes you apologize too much, makes you feel that you are always disturbing ... anxiety makes you stay days and days thinking if you said something that should not, makes you unable to ask for help because you think everything in other people's world is more important That keep you company. Anxiety makes you gnash your teeth while you sleep, wake up with your heart out of breath, panting. Anxiety is not cool, anxiety makes you think too much, rationalize too much ... with anxiety you're always measuring words and thinking too much before you act.

  With anxiety, you seem silly to those who do not because people can not understand their concerns. Anxiety makes you lie every time someone asks you if everything is okay. Even though your mind is killing you, you say it's all good because you do not want to bother anyone with your worries. Anxiety causes you to strain every muscle in your body as you deal with your inner issues and try to keep your face cool for anyone to notice. Anxiety is to feel every second that someone is upset about something you did or said. With anxiety, the weight of everything is doubled and with anxiety you feel you need to take care of everyone, but do not let anyone take care of you.

  The anxious person seems to be avoiding people, but often all she wants is a hug. It is not any hug, it is that hug that the other gives carefully, wanting to be there. When an anxious person feels the chest of another person in the face, it is as if for a few seconds everything happens. An anxious does not want to hear that he is being ridiculous or exaggerated, he just wants to know that he is loved regardless of his mind that from time to time the sabotaged. An anxious wants the other to understand that his qualities are above anxiety, that anxiety does not determine who he is. If you find an anxious person concentrating inhaling and exhaling repeatedly in a public place, do not ask what she's doing ... just stand by and act naturally, maybe try a hug and a light conversation, she's just trying to keep control Her mind and her body. 

   If you have anxiety, know that you are not alone, that everything is fine, that some days are bad, but there is always a better day to compensate. And if you do not, but know someone who has, respect that person, love her and never judge. We are all trying to survive this dog world, but some people have bigger battles than the others. Always be gentle, we do not know what the other is going through.
