Dealing With Anxiety - One Girl’s Story

Did you ever try to explain your anxiety to someone? I bet it was tough. It’s the kind of thing you just can’t understand unless you’ve experienced it first-hand. I’ve driven myself mad in the past trying to somehow get “the way I feel” out there for someone, but I’ve never really come close.

Anyway, the reason I’m talking about this is because I’ve just seen a video on YouTube. It’s from a girl (she’s 16 or 17), and in the video she explains her own battle with anxiety and panic attacks. And even though she was having a really tough time at the time she recorded the video, I found it really inspiring.

Just how she was dealing with it. As we’ve all had to deal with it - quietly, in our own way. Battling through it, looking for answers.

Here’s the video, if you’d like to watch…

It’s one of those videos that just hits home when you watch it, and I couldn’t help but send her a message, thamking her for making the video. As she explained herself, anxiety can be a lonely thing to go through, even though there are so many millions affected…

But videos like this can be a great help, especially for anyone going through a really bad time, or feeling like they’re all alone with their problems.

Anyway, I’m really glad I found that video tonight, and I hope you got something from it too.

    3. Garry, you’re right, it is heartbreaking. But I found her video inspiring, because she was getting through it, and looking for answers. And by the way, she posted another video about a year later, and she’d been kaking good progress.

    I guess I should post that one too sometime. It’s great to see people overcome this kind of stuff.

    Alex.

    4. Poor little girl….to have anxiety at such a young age. But hopefully her youth is working in her favor. I’m glad she’s making progress. Good for her!
