What It's Like Being The Girl With Anxiety

It's like being in a constant battle with your mind.

Having anxiety sucks. Having to rely on medication every day just to feel somewhat "normal" sucks.

I always have a million thoughts running through my mind and about a million different fears that go with those thoughts. And sometimes when it gets to be too much and I feel like I literally cannot take it anymore, I just breakdown and cry. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm crying, I just know that I can't stop. I never know when these breakdowns are going to happen. I could be having a perfectly normal day and then something could happen that causes me to breakdown. It doesn't even always have to be something happening to me, sometimes it's just my mind playing tricks on me. Or sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and not be able to get out of bed because everything has just became too much and my anxiety has gotten the best of me. I never know how my day is going to go when I wake up in the morning, I never know if I'm gonna be able to make it through the day without breaking down or if I'm going to have to leave school early because everything has just became too much for me to handle.

My anxiety controls almost every aspect of my life.

It determines whether or not I will make it to class, whether or not I will keep the plans that I make with my friends and whether or not I'll even make it out of bed. I wish that wasn't the case but it is. I wish I could make it through one day where my anxiety wasn't in control but I don't know if that will ever happen. I will always have anxiety and it will always be something that I have to deal with every single day because whether I like it or not, my anxiety is a part of who I am.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
