Ever feel like something is going to go wrong?
Ever wish you didn't always feel the need to defend yourself?
Ever feel like everything you say is wrong?
Ever wish everyone would just stop yelling all the time?
Ever feel the need to run away from something?
Ever wish you could just turn your brain off for a minute?
Ever feel so full of panic for little to no reason?
Ever wish you could put exactly how you feel into words?
Well, those are just a few ways of describing how anxiety feels.
The truth is, there are many ways of having and dealing with it.
People can start to panic for no reason, or have multiple reasons.
It can come on suddenly, or it can be triggered by an event.
It can even happen based on something you hear from someone.
There's no telling where it comes from, but it comes from anywhere.
And, no matter what you may think, it comes in many different ways.
When someone says how they have anxiety, don't say they're wrong.
Just think how you would feel if they said your feelings were wrong.
Would you like it if they said that you weren't having anxiety?
No? I thought so, then don't treat them like they're faking it.
Don't tell them that what they're feeling isn't anxiety at all.
Who are you to say the way they're feeling, and tell them what it is?
If they feel anxiety differently than you do, then they just do.
There's no right way of having anxiety.
It's something that everyone struggles with, some more than others.
All we can do is be there for them, understand, and be supportive.
Don't tell others how they feel, let them tell you themselves.
