10 things people with anxiety will understand!



Ok so I'm sure you all know by now that I suffer with anxiety so I thought I would write a post about things that anxiety sufferers go through and hopefully you will relate and get what I'm talking about!
It makes me feel a bit better when I know that I'm not crazy and there are other people going through the same things as me and I am not alone ♥




1. Most of the things you worry about are silly, irrational and things that you really don't need to worry about, and you know that but you just can't stop yourself from worrying about it and getting anxious about it!



2. You feel so guilty for being anxious and having panic attacks and feel so bad that you have to cancel plans or feel like you are letting people down because of it, even though you shouldn't feel guilty because it isn't your fault



3. You feel like people just think you are moaning when you talk about it all the time


4. When people tell you to stop worrying and stop being silly/stupid that just pisses you off and makes you even more anxious because you know you shouldn't be anxious but you cant help it! And now you just feel like people are getting annoyed at you



5. When you pay for something in the shop you have to count your money 50 frickin' times to make sure you have the right amount even though you have spent the last 10 minutes double, triple, quadruple (you get the point) checking!



6. You really want to go out and socialize and do normal things like go to pubs/ clubs but just the thought of doing that gives you serious anxiety



7. It makes you soooo angry when people tell you you are using anxiety as an excuse, or you are fine, or just get over it its not a big deal, just do it, just don't worry about it, stop being stupid, your just lazy,
When people say these things it makes me furious!




8. People always say to you, oh you done that the other day and you was fine so why cant you do it today? you're just making it up! 
No!! Our anxiety changes all the time and it can happen whenever just because I done something the other day doesn't mean I should be able to do it all the time. Sometimes we can deal with our anxiety but some days it just takes over and there's nothing we can do about it. We are not making it up.




10. Trying to make a decision about anything is literally impossible because we cant make up our minds and we don't want to make the wrong decision! Whether its choosing what drink to buy or where you want to go to eat your lunch!






Anxiety sucks but there are ways to try to cope with it and you just need to remember that you are not alone and if you feel like you have no one to talk to I am always here for you! And don't ever ever give up things WILL get better, and I like to believe that everything happens for a reason and things will turn out ok ♥



I love you all
I hope you have an amazing day!


Love Megan xx
