How did I overcome my anxiety

Dear reader,

I know this might be a tough subject and I know that there are waaaay to many posts about this on so many different pages.

When I felt it for the first time I was more than sure that I was going to die. Since you're here and you're reading this, I'm just going to believe that you're struggling with this too and you want to get out of it just by snapping your fingers.

You're not going to find an easy way here. This experience is challenging, hurtful, but full of rewards at the end.

I had times when I was simply afraid of going out, and to me, since I've always been a friendly and communicative person it's been hell on earth. But one day I snapped, I decided to confront my fear.

I'm not saying it was easy, because it wasn't. At any given moment I was about to quit and go back home. My heart was pounding like crazy and I felt that I couldn't breathe. But, yet, there I was... Still alive. I discovered that the brain can be trained (or rewired as I like to call it). And, how can I you rewire yourself if not by doing what you're most fearful of?

I went outside and stood as much as I could. I reached the limit, then I overcame it day by day, step by step.

I know it's difficult and you're probably thinking that this is just bulsh*t. I would believe the same if I would've read that. But give yourself a chance, and don't let negative emotions overcome you. You're beautiful, strong and no matter how hard it is, you can do it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but this is how I wanted to break the ice into the blogging passion that I recently discovered.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek for help. I'm grateful for all the people who were by my side when I needed the most. And, if you need, I can be there for you.
