I go through anxiety a lot! I never thought how serious this could be, until I went through it recently. This was the worst phase of my life. My heart used to beat fast continuously, I was running short of breath, I had a lot of panic attacks and melt-downs. It was hard for me to be happy. My mind and heart was full of sadness.

I really wanted to tell this to a lot of people, but at the same time, I didn't want to tell people. On one hand, I wanted support, on the other hand, I was afraid that I would lose all of the people I care about. There's this popular saying that one shouldn't be emotionally attached to someone, because one day they will leave us. With this saying on my mind, I tried to distance away from people. I was also afraid that my family would leave me. I felt weird and confused.

I thought only stressed caused the feeling of heart palpitations and running short of breath, but then I realized that there were other factors too. My heart used to beat fast every time I eat, sing, or even when I move. This has gotten me worried. I haven't been fit lately, and most of the time I eat outside due to not having enough time.

I went to see a doctor this week. I went through a blood test, chest x-ray, and they also checked my heart beat. I was told that physically I am doing fine, it's just my mental health. My stress and anxiety are causing this all.

I am feeling much better now, compared to the other days. But nothing can be said now. I still have to go through one more test. They have stuck a monitor on my chest. For 24 hours, they are going to monitor me. I will know the result soon.

Going through anxiety is the worst feeling. You feel completely blank. You feel sad. You feel lonely. Sometimes you may get anxiety for no reason. You may get some useless or weird thoughts. You will go through more pain. Palpitations, panic attacks, and melt-downs are not worth it. Eat properly, exercise, and be fit. Do a lot of meditation! Listen to music! Try to talk to at least one or two people about this, or at least a counselor! I feel letting it out is much easier! But please try not to go into anxiety! Please be strong and pull yourself out of it!

And for those who think anxiety is a joke, it is not! It is a mental or psychological illness that affects your health! It affects the way you think! Please help someone who's going through anxiety! Please give them all the care and support! Show them that you care!

So to my anxiety, it's time for you to go!
