my first post :)
Hello everyone and no one!
I guess you could say I'm going out on a limb here but I've started a blog!!!
It is currently 2am which seems like a kind of random decision to make at this hour but it comes with good and well thought out reasoninf (for the most part that is😉).
Today started out like a normal day, except I pretty much knew it was doomed from the start. Which seems odd considering I had a fantastic day with my wonderful family, I visited a place I've been dreaming of visiting for years now and I had fabulous food in the midst of it all!!! So how did I know today would be like this?
The simple but not so simple answer is anxiety. This morning I woke up with a feeling I just couldn't really shake all day.
These feelings really have a mind and force all in their own. It's like if you try to push them away they will always push back. At around midnight tonight it was able to push back at me with a force I couldn't exactly handle, today a day where it was able to fight a little harder than me.
So that takes me to here, 2am, sitting in a hotel room bathroom while my family quietly slumbers just outside, watching random youtube videos and reading.
I guess that takes me to here, this new blog I've decided to go off on a limb and begin to write about my day of struggles to strangers all over the internet.
Dealing with anxiety these past few years has been hard, especially within the last year with me starting uni.
I've heard from various friends, family members and other various strangers on the internet (haha) that writing your feelings on a blog can help deal with anxiety and stress and other related topics. So, I thought I'd give it my best shot.
So there you have it, my motivation for trying something new (something potentially positive) stemmed from a anxiety attack.
However, despite my wish to vent feelings and make myself feel better, I hope to make this blog something more than that, to relay my ideas on other topics as well, or just ramble on about the cool/uncool (depending your perspective) thing I did that day.
I guess this is day 1 :)
