Dear Anxiety,

Everyday I want to talk to you. Everyday I want to introduce myself to the girl across the room. I want to stand up for myself. Everyday I want to do better. I am stuck inside my own brain. I am at battle with my own evil thoughts. Everyday I fight to be stronger and better against my thoughts.

Having anxiety is like fighting against something within yourself. Some can have anxiety about test taking, public speaking or simple tasks. While others who are diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety can have increased heart rate, sweaty palms, nausea, dizziness and feel as though they will pass out.

Living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, some people have what is called "triggers." These triggers can be things like loud environments and stress. Sometimes people can have moments where they feel overwhelmed with no "triggers" or stress. Some people who have Generalized Anxiety Disorder may also suffer from depression. With that being said, some people who suffer from depression may also suffer from some sort of anxiety.

Both of these mental issues do not receive much attention and, therefore, many people are unaware of what they really are. Many people suffer from having these disorders and don't seek help because they may be embarrassed about them and not aware of how many others are suffering from these disorders. Bringing awareness to these disorders can help save many people's lives.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Is Going To Kick Your Ass
