Living with Anxiety
When you look at me, I may look like an ordinary 20-year-old. I'm in a happy and stable relationship, I have a fairly well paid job (for my age) and I'm surrounded by loving friends and family but if you delve deeper into my life you'll see the things I try to hide from everyone; the anxiety, the depression, and the pain. You see chronic arthritis runs in my family, I was always going to develop it at some point in my life. My anxiety is what's called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD for short) for as long as I can remember I've always been a worrier, I never found it easy to make friends and always worried about my appearance and what others thought of me, however, I never imagined I'd be diagnosed with GAD and especially didn't even consider depression.

My Coming of Age Story
When people write coming of age stories, they all go the same way. People have a problem and overcome it somehow, and this process of breaking down their biggest barrier is what helps these people become who they are and makes them “special.” Even though it's always the same outcome in the end. People thrive by these stories and become inspired to break down their own barriers and make their own stories of their success. Many of these stories take place over a period of time that varies for each person. Even though the amount of time varies, they all have something in common, they all have a time where they strike the first hit to the barrier and a time where it finally crumbles to the ground. They all have a time frame in which these stories occur. Well, mine starts when I was very young.

Three years ago, I would have laughed in your face if you had told me I would be studying languages at a university less than an hour away from my hometown. I would have found it absolutely hilarious if you told me I hadn't sang, really sang, for two years.
