My Ups & Downs On My Path To Success. [Part 1]

No, I don't think it's something that you can "fix", but I do believe that you can learn to handle things in a better way, which ultimately makes your life a lot easier.

I'm not "well" yet. I still struggle with anxiety, depression and panic attacks, but I've learned to handle it a bit better so I don't have as frequent panic attacks as I did previously for instance.

I've suffered from this for about 5 years now, and it's been a roller coaster of emotions and darkness. Afraid of dying, afraid of living. I had a period in my life where I couldn't go out in public because I was afraid. Afraid of what others could see and think if I suddenly had an attack for instance.

That being said though, I've been fighting my "inner demons" for so long now so I can handle it better nowadays. It has become somewhat easier for me to control things and keep them at bay.

And I've never been good at being open about these things, because I've been afraid of what others might think. I mean, I'm not a psycho or anything. But I've often felt like one whenever I've tried to describe what I feel. Nowadays though, I don't care as much what others might think. I know who I am and what I feel, and I know that others suffers from similar things as well, so my mission in life is to do whatever I can to help them to live their lives to the fullest.

howdy back sir hitmeasap..wow I love your mission! Well I know that many people can identify with at least some of the things you've gone through. My wife for instance used to have panic attacks and for awhile she couldn't go out in public.

And on this platform I can't imagine anyone not being very understanding and supportive, I mean these people are the best!
thanks so much for your honesty and for explaining the situation.

You're very welcome janton, I hope your wife is okay nowadays. And yeah, the community aspect is what I love the most with Steemit. I love to interact with people who cares about others and not only about themselves.

Thank you very much for the comments. :)

sir hitmeasap! well you are very welcome. Anyone who has a heart to help others I'm a fan of! lol.
