What is anxiety?
I'm not gonna say a big fancy medical term of what anxiety is,instead i'm going to tell you from my personal experience. There's so many different sorts of anxiety, it can be the terror of a spider being in your room or getting really anxious over an exam. Mine is going out, seeing people or should i say people seeing me... To me anxiety is a world of feelings all be; terrible!You feel scared, nervous, terrified, worried, afraid and shockingly alone. All those over whelming feelings and thoughts can lead to panic attacks; hyperventilating, shaking ("legs like jelly" is the literal feeling but not just your legs but everywhere!), stabbing pains in your head, feeling like your going to collapse and feeling like you can't breathe and even being/feeling temporarily paralysed. - That is the very worse one when you work your body into such a state that it just literally freezes...
What anxiety leads to?

I remember when i was kid i was so afraid of dogs that i would literally go in the middle of the road to avoid them! Obviously over the years and a few near "accidents" it eased. This only really happened when my friend got a dog as a puppy, i became used to it and kinda fond of it. ;) It took time but this even led to me wanting my own dog which i now have; my "baby" Alfie. ;)
How does anxiety start?
Well a bad experience can start it, e.g. when i was a baby i remember the dog from across the road come running into our house and jumped up at me, it was a big dog and i was a little baby so it kinda terrified me. So that's where i think that started... Or anxiety can start from becoming unfamiliar with situations. Take me i missed 3 and half years of school and interaction with people. Being ill meant i couldn't/ can't go out that much and so you get into a cycle of being reclused from the world outside, and home being the "safe place." You get so used to being in your own company and only interacting with family and friends that everything is feels daunting.
How to kick the anxieties butt?



So yeah anyone with anxiety little steps and you'll get there, :) and i hope i will too. <3
