Like some people today, I have pretty bad anxiety. Most days I can handle it without having a problem, other than little bumps here and there, but some days can be much worse than others. Anyone that has anxiety or has previously struggled with it knows that there sometimes is not a lot of people who understand how we feel.

Ariana Grande's new song 'Breathin' is a beautiful nod to what it can be like to struggle with the ugly truth of anxiety. I feel like this song truly shows how anxiety can make people feel sometimes. Things are not always going to go according to plan and with someone with anxiety that could make us feel like the world is ending.

I think Ariana Grande has made herself completely vulnerable by putting this song out there, she has openly admitted to her struggles and put them into a song that people have a chance to relate to. This song has become an anxiety anthem and created a breath of fresh air for some who suffer. People like Ariana suffer from things that "normal" people do and sometimes I think we don't realize that.

We shouldn't be afraid to speak up and talk about what we struggle with. Talk to your friends and family, be open with them about what you are going through. My biggest struggle with talking about my anxiety is how people who don't have it and haven't struggled with it don't understand it. I kind of realize that people are going to continue to not understand unless we start talking about it.

If Ariana Grande can put out a song laying out her struggle with anxiety to the world than you can go to a trusted friend and confide in them what you're dealing with. They might not be able to fix your problems, but at least someone will be aware and can stay by your side when you've fallen back down. Speak up and let your story be heard.
