Hello everyone!
I was sitting down wondering what to post and at first I decided to talk about my natural curly hair routine however, I realised I washed my hair yesterday and I wanted to show you all a step by step of how I do my hair (don't worry this is definitely coming soon). After anticipating I decided to do this post on suffering with anxiety. **I just wanted to add that I am in no way doing this for pity but instead hoping the following helps you understand what anxiety is and how you can deal with it or help someone you know deal with it. This is a very hard subject for me to talk about so bare with me**
I suffer with General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and panic attacks. I have had these for approximately...6 years now however it has gotten much worse within the last 7 months of my life.
What is General Anxiety Disorder?
GAD is a term given to an individual that constantly worries about certain things in life. These tend to be irrational thoughts such as worrying about the weather, worrying about the time etc. These are usually things that are out of our control however, it is likely to also have rational thoughts such as worrying about your career/job, worrying about your health etc. These are usually things that we can control.
How did I know I had it?
I knew I had anxiety issues during High school. I was always worried about getting good grades and would get disheartened when I didn't do so well especially in exams (I also have exam phobia but I'll get to that later). I noticed my peers didn't worry about the same sort of things as I did. At this stage of my life my anxiety wasn't bad until I became really anxious about passing my GCSEs.
