Dear Anxiety,

I actually never knew you since I was child. I thought I was normal. I thought it really happens. But I also thought I was different from other people. Whenever you attack me, I pray. You became a part of my life, something that I never desired.

You put me through constant fear of everything. I concealed everything about you. Some people noticed I am over-thinking. Yes I do, but they don't know you are always following me. If only I can change everything on my mind, I should have done it just to be free from you.

I never knew you until I found out about you through researching, and I am not your only victim. How could you? You are the reason why a lot of people are troubled, but keeping it. They don't want to be judged, when in fact it's your fault why people were like handcuffed in this battle they are going through. I feel for these people. Hope they feel better.

Can you please go away? I know people will live without you someday, including me, with peace and calmness.

Hey! :) Continue to write about, it will do you good.

Yes. Thanks for that encouragement.

it is hard when it hits without warning

Yes mommy! It just comes unwanted!

Iyan, I am sorry to hear that. I can so relate because, I too suffered from extreme anxiety for years and sometimes, still hits me. During your sparetime, take a few deep breaths, talk a walk and just relax your mind.

Thanks po ate. I am doing deep breaths.

Just Pray and kicked it out of the system!

Nope kuya. It's not as simple people thinks it is. If only it is that easy, there won't be anxiety.

Do you think anxiety is more powerful than God? Just my two cents...

I know it sir as I am religious. But I am talking not about anxiety which is merely anxious or worrying. This is about anxiety disorder, an illness. There's irrational fear. If you look at the comments in this post, you will understand. People afflicted by this disorder can understand more.

I dont knowhow does it feel, maybe i have it but i just dont know what is the feeling.

Perhaps you don't have it sir.

Certain disorders are not understood by many , anxiety depression sometimes the cause is an in balance and need to be adjusted so that person can they can function I do not like to use the word normal, because what is normal for one person may not be the same as another.
Alot has to do with family, traditions and influence of others .and many other things ....
A Diabetic needs insulin at times so their levels are adjusted so the person again,can function.
So much is misunderstood by others when it comes to anxiety as they really think it's nothing.It is very real,and very scary and many people do not want to get help but they should rather than suffer and not care what others think.
Also,it isn't the same for everyone.

What you said is enlightening to all. They think it is easy to keep it off the mind. They have no idea what anxiety is, and how it's like having irrational fears. They will only know once they have it.

Exactly!

Thank you!

Friend I am always anxious. The reason why my lover and I keep fighting because he cannot understand me but maybe I am not normal too. I need to go to a psychiatrist if I have money. I've known a friend who has it that undergoes bipolar injection because she is experiencing this syndrome.

Do you have irrational fears friend? Then seek help friend. A lot of people getting afflicted by it. You can try deep breaths, exercise, and eat foods rich in Omega 3. Try EFT Tapping to.

I am fearful with nothing and there are hallucinations in my mind that lead to a relationship fighting. I believe negative things than positive and I tremble, cry if I feel I am neglected. I am extremely emotional. I feel like no one loves me, everyone just use me, and I feel like I am always cheated. There are times I'd like to cry. My family doesn't know even friends. I always pray to God that one day I wake up without fear and anxiety but it is really hard to defend all to Him. Sometimes it's easy to say "just pray" for those who don't understand. I am paranoid if my lover can msg me that always lead to argument for no reason.

Pray and take a deep breath. :) tc

Thanks there. I am always doing that.

Oh no, this is not good. I have anxiety too but EFT tapping really helps, especially when I started to become afraid of nothing... I hope you go to YouTube and find EFT tapping to Clear Fear. It will work if you will do it as a habit.

I am doing that but not in a daily basis. I hope I can spare time daily to make it a habit.

Maybe healthy lifestyle plus positive and happy thoughts might help.

Healthy lifestyle, YES. Positive and happy thoughts, NOT REALLY. It doesn't just work that way.

Yes, positive thoughts but also please reach out to friends and others if you feel overwhelmed. There are lots of people with the same condition, lots - you are not alone. If writing about it is your catharsis, then keep it up. You are normal, you are not alone - people are out there to help.

Find your coping mechanism.
