Im 26 from northern ky. Ive battle with anxiety mostly social anxiety and my own my mins for years. Id always think something was wrong with me or people were looking at me, laughing at me, talking about me. But it was all in my head. It made work and even life in general very hard for me. Id quit jobs because i just didnt believe i could do it and id be so worked up and stressed at the time that i really couldnt.
Ive been in a much better state of mind for about a year now and my life is turning around. Everything is much better when i accept that i am different and i dont need to be anything but who i am. I started thinking positively when id go down that road in my head and took a step back from my career. Took a less stressful job delivering pizza and now im getting back into my carreer since i feel much more mentally stable.
Im here for anyone that can relate to my story or just needs someone to listen and not tell you that you need meds or a doctor. I believe we just nees to know we are not alone with feeling this way and sharing stories and words od encouragement can get you through this.
