Anxiety is no stranger to all of us at different points in our lives. I am sure not one human being on this great big planet has NEVER had some form of anxiety in there life. The thing is some of us have a predisposition, for whatever reason to be way more sensitive to it. It may start in childhood or creep up on you in what seems like out of the blue. It may start simply and over time get more and more overwhelming until one day the monster in the closet has come out and is taking up the whole house known as your world. Science hasn't really given us any solid reasons as to why...They only speculate at it. The reasons could be environmental, genetic, parental or situational. The brain is so intricate and that just isn't an area that we know much about. Anxiety is so very complex and for each individual so specialized.
As I myself have dealt with anxiety in its many forms I have come to realize as desperately as I wanted an answer to why; it just isn't that important. I have read many books and seen programs and therapist as well as tried meds. I feel I have a very real insight into the workings of this debilitating situation. I do not speak purely from books or what I have heard. I speak from the true knowledge that only experience can teach. I am starting this blog not only to help others but to use it as a tool for myself to brainstorm, learn and break free from its grips.
It is just amazing how many people have experienced anxiety and chances are you know of someone or there is someone whom you know but don't know they deal with such issues. For some reason if something makes you appear weak to the outside world we try and hide it. It makes since but then again our weakness and vulnerability are things that can help us all connect on a much deeper level. As I have learned connecting to each other is so fundamental in the human race. Connecting not only to people but to the world around us. So it is in the hopes of just that, that I have launched this new blog.
