There are lots of things that anxiety does to people that
those outside never know about.
To give you an idea come inside my world and I will share
how anxiety affects me my life and the lives of those I love.
My hands and arms shake, which varies on the conditions I am
surrounded by. When I go out drinks have to be in takeaway cups and I won’t eat
out because using a knife and fork can be difficult and embarrassing.
People who don’t know my condition automatically assume that
it is due to drinking and the stigma that comes with that adds to the problem.
Small incidents can become big ones. My mind races at a
million miles an hour. Trusting people is difficult. I can break out into a
sweat that soaks my shirt, irrational thoughts float in and out of my head.
I can forget things; stop speaking mid sentence as well as
unintentionally switching off to the world around me.
The more these things happen the worse it gets. Anxiety
creeps around like a stalker and just when you feel comfortable you worry why?
It is a vicious circle.
Don’t get me wrong these things are not happening 24/7 but
they do happen.
