It has been awhile and for that I am sorry. Life has been crazy busy lately and things were going well, until this past week happened. They say that when it rains it pours...that is exactly what happened to me. I had 3 intense anxiety attacks in 4 days. First one, came late Monday night,... Continue Reading →
Panic & determination
I could cry right now. Why? I'm not really sure and I don't know if they would be happy tears or sad tears. But I know they are there. I had a volunteer info meeting tonight that I made it too, and socialized! I knew most of the people involved, but those 2 hours took... Continue Reading →
This is me
I've been living with anxiety for 10 years now. And I still find myself explaining to people what it is...what it is like to live with and how it impacts my life. Some days I wish I could simply wear a bright sticky note stuck to my forehead that says, "I have anxiety, please know... Continue Reading →
A sense of doom
Yesterday started off well. But as the day went on, this feeling of "doom" started to grow in the pit of my stomach. And by the end of it, I had this overwhelming feeling that something was wrong. Something somewhere was very, very wrong. Or that something bad was going to happen. I paced around... Continue Reading →
Forever a fight I will climb
Today has been a fight. The tears are right there, have been all day...but I keep blinking them away. Hoping they don't fall because I can tell if they start they won't stop. I did everything to be productive today...cleaned part of my room, worked on homework and created study notes for my upcoming exams.... Continue Reading →
A full heart & an anxious mind
I've always been one to feel A LOT. Overwhelming emotions flood my heart and soul and usually come streaming down my face. For years, I blocked my heart off and wouldn't let anyone in. I had my close friends and family and they were all I needed. Life has handed me more than a few... Continue Reading →
When I can’t sleep, I write
Here I am...it is 1:03 a.m. and I'm wide awake. So I found myself opening my laptop to write. Writing has become such an escape for me. A place I can go no matter what is going on in my life. It's ironic because in elementary school I hated writing, like had to do extra... Continue Reading →
My life right now…
My life right now... 5 pills in the AM 2 pills around noon 1 pill in the late afternoon/evening 2 pills at bedtime My backpack is kind of like a pharmacy right now. You can hear my meds jingle as I walk up and down the stairs going to class. I've been on this new... Continue Reading →
Love, tears & an anxious heart
Friday evening, there I was, sitting in a busy restaurant in downtown Toronto. A couple of hours away from seeing one of my all time favourite performers. I was hoping with everything I had that the feeling in the pit of my stomach would go away. That the thoughts would slow down. But before I knew... Continue Reading →
What my anxiety looks like…
It's been a while...and for that I am sorry. Anxiety and it's nagging, annoying voice has been kicking my ass. The month of February was kind of a blur. I had more downs than ups. A psychiatrist appointment and another medication dosage increase. I thought that increase was working...until last week when I couldn't leave... Continue Reading →
