How Anxiety Took Over My Life...
For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with anxiety. As a child, I had severe separation anxiety; it has never quite gone away. In my adult years, I have always had general anxiety. My anxiety holds me back from going to the gym, going on walks at the park, doing anything in public by myself — pretty much everything I should be doing, I can't. My boyfriend has always been extremely supportive and pushes me to become my best self, but he always has to do activities with me because I am so afraid to do them alone. He finally said to me, "You know, I may not always be around to do things with you." And that really struck me. What am I going to do when I'm by myself and I need to run errands? What am I supposed to do when I really want to hit the gym and he is at work? His simple sentence really made me want to get my life back.
