The sudden overwhelming feeling of panic runs through your body. Your mind is racing with scary and traumatic scenarios. Your mind is telling you that there is something physically wrong with you, but you know this is just another anxiety attack. You feel as if this feeling is never going to end. Every single anxiety attack always feels like the first one.
Every day you worry about when, or where your anxiety is going to have a sneak attack on you. You walk in fear of when that sudden rush of panic is going to hit you. You back out of plans that you really wanted to go to because you're scared of what might happen. I know, it sucks to be that girl. you're known as a "flake". The worst part is knowing you're having a panic attack, and that there is no real reason to why you're freaking out, however you still can not shut down that emotion.
well let me tell you something, to all the girls who fight this internal battle every single day.You are so strong! People who know and go through anxiety every day know how hard it is to pull yourself out of a panic attack, and YOU do it every single time. You get up and go on with your day, you may be exhausted after words, but you did it. Do not let your voice in mind tell you are weak, or that this feeling will never end, because it will.. it always does. It takes a lot to be work to physically strong, but it takes a tremendous amount of work to be mentally strong. I have a tip that works for me whenever anxiety begins to take over my body and mind. Write this in your notes on your phone, or on a sheet of paper and say this to yourself when you need it;
I know I am safe right now. I know that this will all fade away. I know that this is a natural response. I know that I am not in danger. I know that a panic attack cant hurt me. I know i am getting enough air. I know that I am starting to relax, I know that I feel calmer. I know that I am going to be okay.
You are smart, you are loved, you are strong. You are capable and brave, and significant even when you feel like you are not. Your anxiety disorder does not define you.
